ROBBIE MVP OF THE BIG TEN?

I know that nobody outside of Purdue's fan base would agree with that. The nation has fallen in love with Buckeye pointgaurd, heck they should. He has a skillset and size that would make him a great fit in the NBA and with a masterful performance in the Big Ten Tournament proved himself head and shoulders above every other player in the conference. With his 20 ppg, 6 apg, and 9 rpg he has shown he is the best player in the Big Ten but is he the most valuable?

Robbie Hummel's knee injury was heartbraking. It gives me chills everytime I see it. But with that injury did he prove himself the most valuable player to his team in the conference? How many teams would be talked about as a possible #1 seed and then an injury to one player suddenly makes them an underdog to a #13 seed? That player must be special. He doesn't throw out numbers that will put him on the national stage, they are a solid and steady 16 ppg, 2 apg, and 7 rpg. He is the clutch on our three headed monster. Every posession goes through him and you can see how much it has hurt the Boilers, especially through E'Twuan. Other than the Northwestern game to open the conference tourney, Moore has been almost nonexistent. Before Hummel's injury Purdue was averaging 73 ppg and looked like a lock for the final #1 or at least the top #2, but without him their offense now averages 59 ppg, was held to 44 points at home vs. Michigan State, an 11 point first half in the route at the hands of Minnesota, and a nail-biting four point win at Penn State to save the season from complete heartbreak.

Now, I'm not saying I disagree with anyone who takes Turner, I mean, why wouldn't they? But i feel the case can be made for Robbie and I would just like to throw an arguement out there and see how people react.
