Why does Oguine keep being passed over?
When you have these all-star teams from wider areas, the voters know less about the players. So they rely more, I believe, on just a few "headline" stats like scoring, rebounds and assists.
Although Oguine's a pretty good scorer and a great rebounder for a guard, his scoring and rebounding stats won't be at the top of those lists. We all know that he's a terrific defender -- the best in the Big Sky -- but that doesn't show up much in stats either.
So the voters for these all-star teams go the easy route and focus on offensive players. Still, I think a good argument can be made Oguine's the best player in the Big Sky.... the tourney MVP award showed that.
