1. FriarTV. Thank you for the stream!
2. Sammy. He is so steady.
3. AR. He is so needed, without M2N to play some point. Nice game Andy.
4. Jamal. The kid's gonna be good.
5. GE. The kid's electric.

Need to go at least 2-1 the next three. Let's get another Saturday and hope M2N is back soon! Go Warriors!

Hauser. He was heartless tonight. Carved up the Johnnies and made it look easy.

Rowdy. Poor shooting% but 8 assists and only 2 turnovers. Had some great passes.

Greg. Was everywhere on defense. So much heart and soul.

Markus handles the ball better than GE and Sam isn't going to run the point. So yes. I'd rather have Markus spell Andy at the 1.

Sam is obvious, but ...

Rowsey played the entire game except for that brief stretch in the 1H when Wojo tried to give him a quick breather before the 8:00 TV timeout. Greg (who otherwise played a good game) looked SO uncomfortable at the point, and we gave up an 8-0 run in about a minute ... and Wojo had to get Rowsey back in there.

Otherwise, loved everything the freshmen gave us, and Sacar and Matt did their jobs, too.

A superbly coached game, too, I might add.

Greg has a thumb injury, and it's the first time he's played point. I'd still roll with Greg after seeing tonight then Howard.

I said the same to my wife. I think he has grown during the season. Seriously.

Cain is already pretty darn good. I agree that he's gonna be outstanding.

Hauser. A threat from the 3. Pure on the post.

Might Sacar be our PG next year? He doesn't handle the ball much, but when he does, he's got a good handle.

barfolomew · « **Reply #23 on:** February 21, 2018, 09:52:38 PM »

Toward the end of the game it looked like Greg's thumb was almost useless; bringing the ball up, he did a crossover move with just his right hand to get by a defender.
It's tough to play point guard with one hand.
Hard to believe the kid is as effective as he has been with that hand.

Class71 · « **Reply #24 on:** February 21, 2018, 09:54:25 PM »

1. Sam

2. Freshman

3. Andrew for making it happen through his assists. The more Andrew shows he can play point the more we win and the better chance someone takes a look at him after his MU days are over. Everyone knows he can shoot. He needs to show he is more than a single dimensional player.

barfolomew · « **Reply #28 on:** February 21, 2018, 10:07:53 PM »

Just looked at box score.
Dickey mentioned late in the broadcast (with the game getting out of reach) that Ponds was flirting with a triple double. Could have been a quadruple double if you included turnovers. Good job defensively by Sacar.

Also found it weird that both teams rolled with only 7 players. Can't say I remember seeing that in a while.

skianth16 · « **Reply #29 on:** February 21, 2018, 10:15:39 PM »

Gotta give it to Sam, but honorable mention goes to Rowsey. If only one of them had showed up tonight, this could have gone the other way.

I certainly can see Sam for SOTG. But the most important player was Rowsey. For the very short periods he sat, we couldn't get into any semblance of offense at all. I hope we are able to find a ball handling guard for next season.

It is the Scoop Electorial College who determines the winner. This secret group meet mysteriously after every game somewhere in the Rocky Mountains at a Craft Beer & Ganja Festival. It usually takes a week for the white smoke to surface and the winner is declared.

Sam is now second on the team in assists with 78, good for 2.9 apg. That's ahead of Markus, Sacar or Greg. Against just 33 turnovers. He's significantly improved his passing, rebounding and defense this year, in addition to expanding his repertoire of shots.

That's the inherent conundrum of choosing a singular "Stud" within a team environment. As has been pointed out on this thread, we won "because everyone did their job." Which is certainly correct. IMO, they were all studs and I'm really proud of their performance. Still, my vote for the "studliest" goes to Sam.

Earlier, I said Sam was "obvious." But the more I've thought about it, the less obvious I think he was, and I'm totally fine with Rowsey for all the reasons folks have said (including what I said in my ridiculous post claiming Sam was obvious).

Rocky is probably quite relieved that I'm OK with his choice.
