OK, Blue. But big props to Chris Otule and JWilson for not quitting after a lousy start.
Otule, that double double and 4 blocks was huge.
13lue.
Props to Otule, but 13lue was nothing short of clutch.
I have questioned a lot of a otules game many times and been a vander supporter. That said, give it to Chris. Only guy who looked like he wanted to win all game long.
Vander was clutch, but Chris was the stud.
CO.
Blue, no doubt.
Tough. Chris kept us going a lot making some big plays with his blocks and boards. But Vander's three and game winning shot does it for me. So huge.
CO
CO. Double Double on a big stage. He tried to will the team to a win.

And Vander *did* will the team with what, 7 points in the last 90 seconds?
Chris
Otule Big time game 11-11- at least 5 blocks.
Blue and Jamil for hitting the shots when they needed to.
The call from Homer and Mac is simply awesome.

Both Wilson and Blue were bad most of the game. Otule was good the whole game. Otule

Otule. Impressive the entire game.
C.O. if it wasn't for him we would have been dow by 17 at least.
CO, Blue doesn't get a chance to be a hero if it wasn't for what CO did all game long.
Otule
CO
Vander Blue
Great game by CO. But Jamil stepped up in the final minute and so did Blue. Ultimately, Blue won the game, so he gets my vote for SOTG

That was good. ;D
And Blue gets my vote. CO played a great game as well. Blue gets the nod, though.
Blue and Chris
I'm down with Co studs. But as my first post stated. I have hated te guy at times . He deserves recognition. Give him something.
13UE
CO would vote for Vander for SOTG. Blue delivered the goods and the boys lived for another day.
As much as I want Chris to get it, it's VB who has us living to fight another day

You said it the best. CO
All game long I thought if we won it was Otule. Then Vander happened.
It's Blue. Gotta be my boy Blue.
Otule
Vander Blue. Stud in the clutch.
CO was a beast, but game winners count for a lot!
Vander Blue
One of the top 5 shots in MU history
Center position as a whole. Got 20 pts on 7/9 FG & 6/7 FT, 13 boards and 4 blocks. Only reason Blue & Wilson were even able to have those shots matter.
Blue
CO
CO
Love Jamil at the end of crucial games. His intensity level rises off the charts. But, gotta go with Blue for the winning basket.
Tough call, but I say Blue. Hard to give it to the guy that we take off the floor when the game is on the line.

Leading scorer, clutch 3 and the game-winning shot yet people still try to find a reason for the SOTG to not be Vander Blue. Amazing.
Otule had an excellent game but it wouldn't have mattered if not for Blue's heroics.
Loves me some CO, and hoping big time he's back next year, but come on ...
If Vander had gone 0-4 with 2 TOs in the last 2 minutes, we'd have been saying he lost us this game, no matter what happened in the first 38 minutes.
Instead, Vander put the team on his back the last 2 minutes and won us this game, no matter what happened in the first 38 minutes.
The very definition of a big-moment stud.
Chris deserves it. He played a more complete game. Double - double and 4 blocks. Van had the winner, but we can't just give it to him because of that.

Buzz said as much. Interesting that Chris was not at the press conference however.
Worthy selection. Chris is a soft spoken guy but I think he genuinely enjoyed interacting with the Marquette family after the game. A better definition for Vander is 'Hero of the Game'.
Well OK. As I said, I really like CO and he certainly had a fine game on the big stage.
But if Luc Longley has 11 points and 11 rebounds and then Michael, even if he had been sub-par most of the night, carries the Bulls to an elimination-game win in the last 2 minutes, Luc ain't THE stud.
