[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Lewis had the best stat line easy and it's amazing that he can go 19 and 9 with 4/5 3P shooting and he's pretty much an afterthought in this thread.

I have to go with the crowd and say Morsell. He went on a personal 8-0 run with the game at its climax, nothing more studly than that. Plus, we saw how easy it was Villanova to score once he was out. People are rightly crediting OMax with a big game on Gillespie, but Morsell made Nova's other BEPOY candidate, Justin Moore obsolete whenever he was on the floor.

No mention for Kolek when he broke our perfect FT streak

Jay Wright said in his presser that the game was won at the start and called out OMax. That said, it's again razor thin. Rocky may actually earn his due.

[WarriorHal]

Tough call but have to go with Morsell for stopping Nova's run and stretching the lead out again. After Morsell fouled out it was a matter of the Warriors not turning the ball over -- which for the most part they didn't -- and making FTs, which they did.

O Max

Maybe we should have a defensive stud of the game as well.

[GurneeHitchkr]

O-max.  Shutting Gillespie down was huge.

[PGsHeroes32]

Stud of the game is supposed to take the whole game into account. Darryl was pretty bad in half 1.

That said, his stretch in the 2H was simply massive and pretty much won the game.

I'd go Morsell

Omax was incredible as well in his role

Justin gonna get a bit of the Markus treatment. Where his line is just so expected.

I thought about this when I didn't choose JL.

But it's not as if Morsell only had those 8 points. He finished with 15, he had a great block of Moore's shot that led directly to Lewis' transition 3 during the stretch where we re-established control of the game, and he played solid D on Moore most of the night.

And O-Max impacted the game bigly as well.

I'm going Morsell, but you can't go wrong with any of the four.

[21Jumpstreet]

And, O Max had a couple monster buckets and block outs. Morsell was a dude, but he has to be even better every play.

Mor Sell

[Goose]

Morsell took over the game when it was needed. That said, this was another team win.

[LloydsLegs]

This is like the '20 Dem primary - so many candidates!

Great game by OMax, with some great D on CG when we opened it up.
Justin with 19 and our rebounding leader, a full night's work.
Kolek as the usual igniter of our O with a productive night on his own.
The bench with 18 points, and decent D.

All worthy, but when this thing was on the line Darryl said no way and made the difference.

Number 32.

All of this.  And even after considering that DM was sort of “out of it” at the start of the game (other than his made 3)

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

Morsell, for the 8 straight points to steady the ship and settle everything down.

JLew has the stat-line.  Morsell for SoG.

[VanderBlueFanClub]

Morsell

[Eye]

Thought I'd be in the minority on Morsell. I guess not.

[Scoop Snoop]

I'm going with Moresell. Nova reminded me of a brush fire we had on our land once. Every time I thought it was out, flames shot up again. Moresell stomped out the persistent Nova flames.

[JakeBarnes]

O-max.  Shutting Gillespie down was huge.

Intersting +/- from last night:

[Markusquette]

Justin F'n Lewis. Shoutout Morsell, OMax and Kolek.

[Spotcheck Billy]

Morsell

[StillAWarrior]

Morsell.

Based on the press conference, it seems that Shaka might agree.
