America East Player of the Year Marqus Blakely is simply a sham. The kid led his team to a nice second place in the America East conference this year (its no first though), and led his team to a nice loss to Albany in the first round of the America East Tournament (its no championship though). You must be thinking, "this guy should get some due outside the conference shouldn't he?!?" Well he hasn't and shouldn't. Blakely's only national recognition he earned is his delicious tears that have been selling like hot cakes (please see previous post for your tears today).
D.J. Rivera, the true player of the year, gets due because he deserves it. It does not need to be argued that he is a better player, simply look at where his team is (in the NCAA Tournament) and where Blakely's is (slapping Tromboli's ass in the dorms). D.J. is one of the top Mid-Major players in America, way better than the supposed player of the year in Blakely, and Fox Sports Network has made it obvious.

Scroll to the bottom and see D.J. make the MID-Major All-American team.
As a great fan had on their sign at the AE Tourney in Albany, "Hey Blakely, cry me a Rivera!"
