Thankful that guy is back on the court
-
He is one guy that never quits, never gives up. He’s a pisser.
-
Was great tonight. Never talks a play off on either end of the court
-
Easily the best performance of the night.
-
Yes. And he did it limping to the scorers table and trying to loosen up his leg.
-
Love this guy
-
If you don't appreciate Stevie, you don't know ball.
-
A joy to watch
-
The ultimate glue guy, and his three is looking better.
-
Loved the TO when he snuck behind Dixon.

It was awesome watching that develop - he was just lurking, trying not to leave his guy open under the hoop, and waiting for the right moment. Great instincts.
-
He was excellent today.
-

I mean, that's the indisputable truth. I'm embarrassed for those who actually thought Shaka might bench him.
-
Stevie is just plain fun to watch hoop. His anticipation on the defensive end is unbelievable.
-
Yes, when Richmond took him down on the block, it went poorly.
Often overlooked is the job he does fronting the post when switching with Oso. Did a respectable job against Edey. Did a good job today against Dixon.
-
Just awesome today. At one point well into the game, my son says to me wow he is affecting the game so much and look at his line, all zeros except for fouls. That didn’t last long after he said that, AND Stevie kept up the defensive intensity. It rubbed off on Jop, on Gold, on Tyler. What a performance by the unsung, Stevie Mitchell.

One of my sons plays high school basketball and we were having a similar conversation. It is extremely fun to watch him effect/control the game from that side of the ball.
-
I thought his 3 steals in the first 3:30 of the 2nd half turned the game around.

Yep……he waited and waited ……just played it perfectly.

Unsung? He’s got his own thread on Scoop!

…there were games early on that Stevie’s shooting was a significant negative. Still is, at times. What was he from 3 at one point, 2-20? Stevie plays great D, for sure…and I’m happy for his excellent game today. But I admit I was hoping Shaka started Chase after Maui.

Good of you to admit your mistake!

Stevie is often the straw that stirs the drink. I like my Manhattan stirred not shaken.

My bad, he’s officially made it!

I'm glad I called that guy .gif
-
We call him Steamy Mitchell. He brings the heat!
-
Member of the Ben Gold Shooting Academy, but I love the guy. Tough D. Tenacious. Unselfish. Winner on the court and in the classroom.
-
I was impressed that he realizes now he can take the ball to the hoop instead of jacking 3’s which he is very questionable about, expanding his game. Maybe Gold can expand his game going forward.

Impressed with Stevie’s drives lately and scoring. Yes, Ben should score around the hoop. Forget just playing him out all the time. Feed him inside sometimes. Really throw off the defense of the opponents!

As bad as his outside shot has been.
Hes making up for it with Kam like scoring inside the arc.

Sharp elbows

Stevie is a dude. Love him.

In his 6 Big East games Stevie has an offensive rating of 115 and is shooting 37.5% from 3
He is also 28th in the country in steal percentage.
-
he also has ap perfect4.0grade point

Yes. And I actually thought the best play he made was a little pocket pass to Oso while driving left in the lane. We're more dangerous if multiple guys make plays off the dribble. Both Steve and Kam are capable dimers.
-
He’s the kind of player coaches love.

Dung

Unfortunately he only loves one

I know 99.69% of people here love Stevie. But since we've been hit with some injuries these are his numbers over the last 6 games:
10.8 PPG
4.7 RPG
3 SPG(!!!!) And that's with 0 vs DePaul
FG%: 55.8%
3%: 41.7% (5/12)
Big time contributions and as we all know his value isn't remotely measured by these stats.

Great good Ws are fun too

I started believing in Stevie after the UNC game. He and OMax were the best two players for MU that day. Stevie gave a preview of what he would be the last 1.5 seasons.
-
tower
I agree on the UNC game. In fact, I think those two were the guys brought into the interview after the game. I will say, was higher on Omax at the moment and had hopes for Stevie.
-
Stevie was pretty amazing yesterday. I am really happy to see him finish with confidence on his drives and on fast breaks. Keep it up Stewie!
-
He is getting into the lane easily. He is finishing around the basket with either hand. He is even starting to look for others. Keep going, young man.

It's a huge boost to the ceiling of this team, imo. Seeing him turn into a weapon that can keep the defense honest (and his affinity for being a lull-breaker) is amazing. It's been a fun ride to watch him take a leap this year.

I agree.
I've been skeptical of Stevie in the past but he's definitely leveled up on offense. He's gone from defensive specialist to a really good two way player.
-

He seems to be front rimming the floaters so far. When that goes in it will add another dimension to his offensive repertoire.

He very confidently stepped into an early-in-clock 3 yesterday and drained it. He's really having a heck of a run for Stevie, and we all hope it continues.

For those of us that don’t partake in per game averages…
121 ORtg, 69.6 efg%, 4.5 or%, 14.1 dr%, 5.7 stl%
Ps Oso’s got silly stats in calendar 24. 135 ORtg, 66.7 efg%, 11.3/16.3 reb%s, 23% usage, 21% ast rate, 11% to %, 5.6 blk%, 2.2 stl %. No treys tho :(

I say a lot of nonsense crap, but shortly after SJ22’s injury we were discussing Zaide and Tre stepping in and stepping up and it dawned on me that the biggest silver lining could be Stevie’s transformation offensively.
He was just coming back from his own injury and looking his elite self defensively, and was starting to look a bit more comfortable offensively.
His hand has been forced, and oftentimes that’s what it takes for a guy like Stevie to come out of his so to speak offensive shell.
It’s not easy when you’ve got elite scorers all around you and you watch yourself clank three after three for months, it’s much easier for the doubts to creep in.
That said, there were tall tales of his offensive abilities and we are starting to see some of the capabilities.
This team needs Stevie to be more aggressive offensively, and Stevie needs Stevie to do so as well.
His drives to the hoop with the ability to score have been a breath of fresh air.
Hopefully the outside shot continues to follow suit, even if at a low 30s clip just to keep defenses honest.
The bad news is that I still think he needs to channel his inner Kam some more on those drives to the hoop- several of his drives are so strong that the layup seems to go up very strong too and seems to almost miss, but it hasn’t missed much yet.
Add a little more finesse/creativity on the finish and he will be cookin.
-
I understand I'm slow to respond to the conversation. Against Seaton Hall Mitchell got knocked down attempting a lay up and got off the floor, picked up the ball and put it back in. It was the epitome of determination. Everyone needs to learn a lesson. Never quit, never say I did enough.

This might be the best example of all. It’s one of my favorite moments from yesterday’s win.

The players called “dung” had a nice night.
12 points on 4-5 from the field, 4-6 at the line, 9 boards (3 offensive), 1 assist, 1 steal
-
That late lay up was insane.
-
That late lay up was insane.
I have no idea how he made that. Off hand, falling away from the hoop, from like 6 feet out, not a layup right at the rim. I would’ve tried throwing up a prayer and it would’ve gone over the backboard. He put it on the square with touch as if it was an uncontested layup.

It gave me a cramp watching it! Like Stevie, I needed a refreshment at the next break.
-
On those late free throws, I had a premonition. He was standing at the line for so long it reminded me of a game not long ago when the same thing happened and he clanged FT's. He's basically freezing the kicker - he should move off the FT line and only come back when they are ready to give him the ball.

Does Stevie technically have two more years of eligibility?

Marquette NIL store is selling Stevie "Glue Guy" merch, but unfortunately for them, it is already outdated.
We don't have a Big 3 anymore, it's a Big 4.

Mrs legs received a Stevie championship blue hoodie yesterday for her birthday to go with her gold Stevie jersey. Yes, I continue to be concerned.
Speaking of concern, Mrs legs asked if he was all good after his little foot/ankle tweak right at the end the game - it seemed minor and I haven’t heard anything. Anyone?
-
Legs
I thought they mentioned it was just cramp.
-
He returned to the game.
-
Thank you both
-
Only 8 points. No credit for guarding a guy who is sick. #sad.
-
I love watching Stevie play. He runs around so much on each possession, that he's bound to get his hands on a loose ball. He amazes me how many times he's able to be in the right spot to get a loose ball.
-
Shooting 41% from 3 and 63% from two in conference play.

Absolutely love everything about Stevie. He really has played well since his injury and been a very valuable player during this win streak.

Stevie now 51.6% from the floor with a eFG% of 56.
His BE play has been absolutely stellar

Idiots like to feminize names as a form of degradation. That usually identifies the mouth breathers amongst us as it exposes their lack of intellect.

Get off wampum's case. He said Stevie was "a pile of dung," not dung itself.
-
My posting history shows I'm pretty meh on Stevie.
He's great. Knows his role. Fantastic player.
-
Stevie was great yesterday. The second half may have been his best in an MU uniform.
-
After the first basket, anyone know where Kam went?
-
Yea he missed some shots and then found his way to the bench for a chunk of the 2H.
Shaka went heavier with Stevie and Chase alongside TyKo.
It’s a good thing that Shaka can roll without an all BE caliber guard when he’s having an off day and the team doesn’t miss a beat
-
I hope that’s all it was and not some kind of injury.
Thrilled we have Chase playing well, but we need a healthy, effective Kam.
-
After the first basket, anyone know where Kam went?
Shaka mentioned in the post game that he’s still bothered by the ankle.

Thanks for that info. I'm not surprised, given the way Kam was moving.

Kams defense has never been stellar and its worse while nursing an ankle injury. If he's not making shots and Chase is.... chase is going to take those minutes

Stevie's brother got accepted into MU Law School. Maybe he will have walk on eligibility as a grad transfer 😅.

Dung lawyer
-
Shaka.......... if everyone had his level of fight, then we'd never lose......
-
It looked like his wrist was bothering him last night so much that he wasn't using his right hand unless he had to. You could see him try to flex it a lot.
I hope it is my imagination and nothing serious.
-
I saw the same.
-
I also saw that. I recall him holding it in the Providence game and think he may have injured it then.
-
He's definitely been wincing and grabbing at that wrist or hand several times over the last few games. While this year is probably more "normal," it highlights how fortunate MU was with their health last year.
-
I love watching Stevie play. He runs around so much on each possession, that he's bound to get his hands on a loose ball. He amazes me how many times he's able to be in the right spot to get a loose ball.
I agree with this analysis.
-
Stevie said in tonight's show he had tweaked at Xavier and last night a firm handshake tweaked it again, crazy.
-
Pile O'Dung with a pile of clutch FTs to clinch the win at X. Also, a huge 3 and some great D.
Can't spell Dung without the D!
-
Glue guy is the Mitchell field of expertise.
-
Stevie to me is an awesome person and great player. We got a chance for a photo opportunity and chat session with him at the Shaka Show this Thursday. Mentioned to him voted for him in Pennsylvania High School State player of the year which Stevie Won and he was very thankful and appreciative. But a major outstanding thing about Stevie is that he talked with everyone and waited until the person he was talking to was finished to move on to the next person. Stevie I was told does this all the time. That is usual for Stevie. Stevie is very kind

That was Stevie's 3-point percentage in conference play this season.
He also shot .606 on 2-pointers.
But yeah ... Stevie can't shoot.

Love it. Hard not to root for the guy. All the guys on this team will hopefully be legendary in a few weeks with nice run in the tournament.

My feeling about Mitchell shooting 3’s is that he should limit himself to ones where he is left alone and can square up. Almost like a 20 foot free throw. He seems to make most of those, especially when they are near the top of the key.
If he is rushed at all, his percentage goes way down to near zero.
He had two against UConn that I was pretty sure weren’t going in as soon as he let them go because he wasn’t completely set and was drifting a little.

Generally agree, though he's gotten pretty good at the corner 3 too, as long as he's set and ready. The one he took vs. UConn after getting an offensive rebound - he rushed to the corner and just fired, missing badly - is the only one in recent weeks I remember thinking was really bad.
But it's been quite some time since I've said, "No!" whenever Stevie's gone up to shoot. I want him to shoot open 3s now - make the opponent pay for disrespecting him.

Every coach in the nation would kill to have a Stevie on their squad. He's integral to our success and has improved every season.
