[More Cowbell]

I had read a lot of posts on here from people saying that Elisha should win based on his Sweet Sixteen performance, and others saying that Mr. Basketball was voted on two weeks ago, so it won't matter. Who's right? They both are.

This is the info that I got directly from the KY Lion's Eye Foundation (the organization that gives the award) website. It states that all ballots were sent out on Friday, March 12, 5 days before the Sweet Sixteen starts. The deadline for all ballots to be returned is Wednesday, March 24.

So, it appears that the voters have almost a two week span in which to cast their ballot. They can choose to go ahead and vote as soon as they get their ballot, and essentially disregard the state tournament. Or, they can wait until after the state champion is crowned and take what happened during the tournament into account.

I wonder how many voters waited and how many did not. Personally, I hope they all waited long enough to see Elisha's MVP performance down at Rupp! :biggrin:
