All Hemcher Cup Team
Gannon and Poli sweep this year’s All-Hemcher Cup team with 3 players and 2 players respectively. There was only one 100-point scorer this year, with Thomas Robinson pouring in exactly 100.
Here is your 2012 All-Hemcher Cup Team:
- Thomas Robinson, 100 pts, Gannon
- Doron Lamb, 99 pts, Gannon
- Deshawn Thomas, 98 pts, Poli
- Jared Sullinger, 85 pts, Gannon
- Anthony Davis, 82 pts, Poli
I wonder if the winner has ever not placed a player in the All-Hemcher Cup team.
