As I write this on Sunday morning, KenPom.com says that Andrew Rowsey is the sixth most valuable player in the country. There’s an awful lot of Small Sample Size Theater involved there, and I’ll almost guarantee that Rowsey doesn’t stay in the top 10 of the kPOY rankings after the Purdue game on Tuesday.

I think it is safe to say that no one expected the Rowsey who went for 12 points, two rebounds, and two assists in 20 minutes last season to explode for 23 points, three rebounds, five assists, and three steals against Mount St.
