The U.S. Basketball Writers Association released their midseason watch list for the Oscar Robertson Trophy—their award for player of the year. There was only one ACC player on the list, and it wasn't Erick Green.

Everyone in the country is still eligible for the award, but I'm still baffled that E.G., the nation's leading scorer and one-man show, wasn't recognized by the group as one of the "standouts in contention".
