1. Chief. Kept us in the game in the first half. Could have used that at DePaul. Give it to the Chief!
2. Juan. He's all over the court. If not for Chief's first SOTG, it was clearly JA. Huge FTs.
3. JjJ. Love the way he attacked the hoop.
4. Teve. Thanks for showiing up Tevie. We needed you.
5. De. He is tough. Can't shoot. But he is tough.
Big win Warriors!
Sandy. Without his 1st Half, we aren't in the game. Plus, I'd like all 8 players to get at least one SOTG during the season. That would be special.
1. Cohen, when no one else could score he single handedly kept us in the game.
2. Juan, for just being Juan.

Yes. Without him in first, probably down at half. Easy SOTG.
1. Cohen. Big time in 1st half.
2. Juan real close second since he finally made some freebies, did everything else well
3. JJJ, shooting was awful but he was all over the place, better with him in
4/5 Derrick and Luke both were key.
Carlino was bad for most part but had some key buckets early in 2H to get us up for good. Steve with a couple huge plays. Duane had a very tough game.
Sentimentally, I want Sandy...... but Juan was Juan for a whole lot of game. Give it to Juan.
1 Juan. 2 Luke. 3. Derrick. 4. Sandy.
Sandy was big the first half, but Juan was the best player all game. Shot well, rebounded well, defended all over the place.
Really a great effort by the team. JJJ, Derrick, Matt...each of them deserve a shout out.
Sandy's first half was great, but Juan was a factor all game. Plus he redeemed himself and made some clutch free throws. They were ugly as sin, but they went in.
Juan. Part of the reason why we won this game was defense and Cohen was not out there long enough defensively to make a difference.
Definitely a honorable mention to Sandy.
Juan. EASY to get enamored with Cohen's fantastic first half but Juan was consistently bringing energy and making plays.
Now I wish Juan was a junior, he played smart team ball.

Agreed
Juan hands down. Sandy had a great 1st half, kept us in the game and I was very happy for him to break out after his dnp but games aren't won in the 1st half. JA played a complete game, made some big shots and was all over the court. Juan SOTG.
1. Juan
2. Sandy
Cohen definitely. No one was doing anything on offense until he came in the game.
Anderson had a good all around game again, but included was a banked three, and again, too many missed FT's (although he did make two big throws at the end) that's why I vote Cohen.

He went 6/8 and 5/8 from the line.

He had a good game overall, especially hustle and rebounding. But the banked three was pure luck, and 62% FT is lousy. He had to make a bunch in the second half to get to 62%.
Sandy's the guy today. He played limited minutes and did nothing but contribute, not to mention his FG's were almost all on difficult shots.
JaJuan deserves an honorable mention today - 10 rebounds and 5 assists. Terrible perimeter shooting (what else is new from him), but I'm realizing that kid has toughness to him, and in the open court makes really good decisions and can finish.
He just needs to find a jumpshot because his shooting is just horrid. And it's not for lack of good looks.

He is far and away the MVP on the team this year and today once again showed why.

Agreeing with you. 10 rebounds and 5 assists will win games. I have never liked his shooting form, but if he slashes for 10 points along with the other stats, he is gold.
I still love Duane's game and potential, but man, he is in a slump right now.
Juan Anderson.

I'm like you, never have liked that shooting form, but give him this, he goes to the line and makes his free throws consistently. I'd trust him at the FT line as much as anyone on the team in a clutch situtation.

Plenty of good choices today, but all have some warts. Sandy's first half was good but he wasn't there sealing the game in the clutch. Juan put up points but didn't rebound near as well as he usually does.
For me it was JJJ. Yes, his shooting was poor, but his 10 rebounds were immense and included in those 5 assists was the press breaking dish to Luke for the dunk. At the end, it was Jajuan hitting the free throws to ice it. There's more to the game than just scoring and he brought all of that today.
I also liked seeing him not overplay steal attempts. In the past, he goes all out and often takes himself out of plays looking for a steal. Today he gambled but when he didn't get it had the composure to stay in the play.
Jajuan had quite a few very good moments rebounding, passing, scoring some timely points and causing chaos on defense. I go with Jajuan and Sandy as co-SOTGs.
Juan.
No idea how he only has 1 SOTG on the year.
JJJ was a complete player today. Consistently in the flow of the game . Fought hard to the last second.
Juan, all day
1. Juan - great all around game, and senior leadership.
2. Sandy - great spark in first half.
3. Derrick - did a little of everything (8 pts, 6 reb, 5 ast).
4. JJJ - like Derrick, a little of everything. (+) 10 rebounds. (-) 3-13 from the field.
Juan, he did really well against much taller players.
All Juan. He may have only had 4 rebounds but three of them were on the offensive glass. Couldn't have done it without him.
I liked JJ today but I can't vote for someone who went 3-13 and had 4 TO's in 25 mins.
Isn't not having a clear cut winner a great statement about this TEAM
Sandy was a breath of fresh air. Love his game and the thought that he will get better. Thank you Sandy for coming to Marquette!
I think STJ saved the game at the end when Luke went out with 4 fouls. Some big time rebounds, a put back and an inbound block and steal. Huge to preserve the lead and win
Juan, played a solid all-around game and made his free throws when it counted.
Juan.

Great points - STJ's contributions, especially w/ Fischer forced to the bench for a long stretch in the second half, were huge.
Just think how different last season could have been if Jamil Wilson had the kind of senior season Juan is having to this point.

Exactly, he deserves an honorable mention no doubt, but no way he is the SOTG with that shooting line.

That offensive board and put back in the first half was as good a individual play as I've seen this season. I don't even know how he got his hand on the missed shot, let alone, get his hand on it, and then put it back in. He was quite a ways from the basket when the ball came off the rim. Great play.
Juan, because of this

Lots of good choices. I go Juan.
Sandy.
BTW, I heard Wojo saying he made a mistake not playing him in the DePaul game. Would Burt ever admit he was wrong. I like the humble honesty.
Bert talked himself down all of the time to the point where we quit paying attention.

Because while Juan does what Juan does every game, each time there has been one or two Warriors have career games. So we say Carlino and then Juan. Or Duane and then Juan. Or Derrick and then Juan.
We sometimes take Juan for granted ... and that's actually a compliment to him.
Juan was outstanding today and is my stud, but I certainly wouldn't quibble with either Cohen or JJJ.
Juan
I do not know what you were feeling, but before Sandy hit those back to back threes, I thought we were going to gey blown out. He completely changed the game. Juan had a great game, but if Sandy had spent the entire game on the bench we would not even be talking who the SOTG is.

This point definitely has merit. I was thinking the exact same thing as I watched.

Sandy played great. He showed he can play and make shots.

Give it Cohen for f ucksakes! Kid set the table for the good guys.

Juan is becoming a poor man's Jae Crowder. He does a bit of everything and just plays with so much energy. He doesn't have the same outspoken on court demeanor but you always want him on the floor.
I really hope Sandy is paying close attention to Juan this year. If he can match that intensity level in the coming years he could truly be a very special player.
In an internal debate that kept me up at night (not really), gave it to Juan. Sandy's 100% shooting performance, and timeliness of it, certainly made him the GCOTG (game changer of the game), but Juan was the SOTG.
Fair enough. Nice choice.

I'll say it differently. Sandy can become a 'rich man's' Juan Anderson.
Definitely Juan. When he threw his mouthguard across the floor in disgust (due to the poor traveling call against him), it incited the team and gave them an edge the rest of the way.

That was one of those that in real speed, you think "wait, that looked a little strange. He must have traveled." But until you see the slo-mo, you're not sure. Definitely the right call.

I totally thought they called it on Duane on the pass and thought it was the worst call ever. Didn't think about Juan (I thought they blew the whistle on the pass). I nearby rescind all my complaints about the refs for that play.
Thrilled with Juan's all-around efforts this season but I just took a quick look at the stats ...
As the college hoops season nears the midway point, I wonder how many D-1 starters have a higher 3-point percentage than FT percentage.
Can't be many ... if any.
