I think Seth deserves first team more than Anthony. I don't think we deserve two players on the first team. Radford does. Amir Johnson deserves it more than Lynch-Flohr though.

A couple of years ago when the HP guy gets MVP of the BS Tourney, when they lose to LU by 40+. Even he knew he shouldn't have gotten the award and gave it to the LU guy. (Sorry, some-timer's is kicking in, I can't remember names like I used to). This was the biggest injustice I have ever seen in any sport ever. Can't imagine anyone knowing what a basketball is watching that tourney and giving the MVP to the HP guy.
Back in the 80's Peter Aluma got the Tourney MVP as a senior, we lost the game, but Peter should have never received the award. (I am as big a PA fan is there is/was, just stating facts).
There have been others, but those are a couple of big boo boos I remember. Seth being left off the first team was almost as bad.
As someone said, glad Chris see's it the same way. Gives some credibility to what we know here was a big guffaw by the BS.
