Acie Law: Dick Vitale recently mentioned Acie Law as a possible Player of the Year candidate, but because of his size and the fact that Texas A&M doesn't get a lot of exposure, I don't think he will get the serious consideration he deserves. However, the MIP title was made for him. At 6-foot-3 and 195 pounds, the knuckleball-shooting two-guard has been at A&M during the best and worst of times. When Law was a freshman, the Aggies won six games. Then Acie got a new coach in Billy Gillispie and a year later, the Aggies won 21 games. Last season they advanced to the second round of the NCAA tournament, and this season, many agree with me that they have a good chance to make it all the way to Atlanta.
With time and a lot of hard work, Law's leadership abilities have surfaced. He has shown a willingness to accept criticism and has transformed himself into an exceptional defender, and that's all about attitude. In fact, Coach Gillispie says that Law is the hardest-working player he has ever been around, and coming from Billy, that's quite a compliment. Sure Law could score more points if he were a ball hog, but he's not – unless the game is on the line. When that time comes Acie demands the ball and usually delivers – that's what winners do.
