Retire the jersey right?
Ken Pomeroy, college basketball's top advanced metrics guru, has named UNC senior power forward Brice Johnson player of the year. KenPom uses a statistical formula to calculate a top ten and uses the entire season, including postseason play to determine the winner.
This accolade is the latest for Johnson during what ended up being a special season. He was named First Team All-ACC and was consensus First Team All-America and MVP of the East Regional.
Those accolades are a testament to how good Johnson was but a little historical comparison shows his season was statistically on the same level as Tyler Hansrbough's 2008 national player of the year campaign.
