News From The Summit 3/13/2008-3/15/2008

The Boubacar 3/13/2008 (Awards Edition)--The Mid-Majority

Summit League (POY: George Hill, IUPUI; COY: Scott Sutton, Oral Roberts)

Mid-Majority Badlands Player of the Year: George Hill, IUPUI. The 6-2 junior came back from a foot injury that claimed the majority of his 2006-07 season, and re-established himself as the conference's best pure shooter. His 21.5 ppg came off 54 percent shooting, and he showed some rebounding prowess as well with a team-leading 6.8 rebounds.

Mid-Majority Badlands Coach of the Year: Scott Sutton, Oral Roberts. He's had to replace the two best players in school history (Caleb Green and Ken Tutt), but he's brought another generation of ORU heroes to a third straight league title. Consistent excellence despite changing personnel is one of the hardest things to do at this level, and the mark of a premier program.

Mid-Majority Mascot Fight of the Year: We'd heard rumors about this, but there was a very real fight between Jaws the (IUPUI) Jaguar and Oral Roberts' Eli the Eagle at the Badlands title game, and we have YouTube. Enjoy. [1][2]
