Remember when that happened every week?

Appalachian: Sims is just the second SoCon player since 2005-06 to win the award back-to-back, as Davidson’s Stephen Curry accomplished the feat five times from 2006-09.

And again ...

Stephen. The eighth time this year. The 16th time in his career.

The Stephen Award

Jeff Hartsell:

Curry’s ascendancy has caused an interesting dilemma for SoCon sports information directors, who choose the league’s player of the week each week.

Curry won the award this week for the third week in a row, seventh time this season and 15th time in his career. And it was probably a below average week for the Wildcats’ junior -- he averaged 26 points, 6.7 assists and 5 rebounds as Davidson went 3-0.

No SoCon team relies more on one player than Davidson does on Curry. And he’s so great that even a below average week is good. Should SoCon SIDs judge Curry by his own high standard, and reward other players who might have had exceptional weeks by their standards? Or should they just shrug and vote for Curry every week?

Again and again and ...

The seventh time this season. The 15th time in his career. And the thing is this: It was just another week.

In Charleston ...

Jeff Hartsell:

Just to take the suspense out of it, we’ll go ahead and confirm the news. Yes, Stephen Curry is our unofficial player of the year at the midpoint of the Southern Conference basketball season.

Why not? No other SoCon player has earned his own highlight video with music by Queen (“Flash! Ah-ahhhh! Savior of the Universe!”). And he’s been named SoCon player of the week six times in 10 weeks. They ought to retire the award or at least establish a non-Curry category.

Six this year

The Stephen Award.

Anything you can do I can do ...

The Stephen Award

Again: It is the fifth time this season he has won the award, tying the record he set during the 2007-08 season. Above the Rim. Uchiyama.
