Whew!! Lucky to get away with a W. 1 and 2 could go either way, but:
1. Chief. Kept us in it.
2. Big Fishy.
3. Haanif. Going to be a player.
4. HE.
Let's fix the TOs and go get the Hawkeyes. Go Warriors!
Sandy. When the entire team was stagnating, he provided the spark.

I'll change it up a bit.
Fischer had a double/double but was terrible on D.
Ellenson played huge, but only had 3 rebounds and missed a lot of shot.
Duane Wilson, nearly had a double double, but had tons of TOs and bad shots.
That leaves Chief or Cheatham. I'll go with the Frosh for really never giving up, controlling the rock and taking it to the whole when we need it.
Cheatham with his first of many SOTG's.
Luke
Haanif
Sandy
Sandy.
Chief
Haanif.
But can't argue Sandy likely win.
Sandy was the least Eeewie Poooie.

Same order order I have.
Iowa could get ugly. Lots of experience.
Luke, double double. Need to get him the ball more. More accurately, we need to make some outside shots so he doesn't get doubled all the time
Haanif can't argue with Sandy
Sandy. As strong as Luke started, Sandy was the energy and driving force behind the win. Scored inside and out, hit the glass, and played solid defense.

Cohen for SOTG.
At least Woodbury can't hit the three at the 5. Luke won't have to recover to the 3 point line nearly as much, which was the main reason for the defensive struggles.
Would definitely like to see some more use of the zone.
Cohen. Fischer a close second.
EDIT: too mean.
Cohen.
Sandy
HAANIF by far. Hit when it mattered
Chief
Sandy. Also a credit to the announcer who said we would see a lot from Sandy in the 2nd half even as he only had 2 points at the time.
SC III
Slept on it. Was thinking this was a W without a real SOTG.
Like the look of Haanif.
Sandy.
Sandy. Why Wojo starts Johnson over him baffles me.

I thought JJJ did a great job in the first game catching the ball on the outside but then finding the seam in the defense, getting mid-range and taking a nice little jumper. I didn't see any of that in last nights game. In a situation where he's not able to get open for mid-range jumpers I agree that Sandy should replace him as he does pretty much everything better than JJJ in those situations.

Also need to figure out better ways to get the ball to Henry down low when Fisher is in; Fisher goes out to the circle, and his defender just sags on Henry b/c Fisher is not outside threat. Maybe have Fisher across the lane from Henry or at the elbow where he can't be unguarded and spread the rest of the guys (who then knock down an occasional shot)
i believe one of the announcers said in the first game that sandy is coming off the bench because wojo wants someone with experience that can come in and make a difference. unfortunately, i don't think jjj could fill that role. in the end jjj played 19 minutes and sandy played 40....

That's what matters. Who starts doesn't. Remember former starter Erik Williams?
1. Sandy
2. Haanif
3. Fischer

Agreed. I'm fine with Sandy as 6th man, as long as he continues to get starter's minutes.
Maybe he makes a run for BE 6th Man of the Year! :)
I'm going with Fish. 44 minutes. Double/double. Defense not where it needs to be but much better down stretch. Chief close second.
Fischer.
Haanif or sandy for sure - remember lukes first couple game last year where he was blocking everything? Man - he's got to get over that hump again

This is all that matters.
There are guys in the Hall of Fame who spent a good part of their pro careers coming off the bench -- McHale, Havlicek, Jones, etc.
I coach (at a slightly lower level than the NBA or college) and I do not start my "best 5," either. I like to have somebody with energy off the bench. But believe me, I have my best 5 on the court during crunch time. On a given night, my best 5 might change slightly based on how they are playing.
Sandy
Fishy with Chief a close 2nd
I'd say Luke.
Fans that showed up and stayed the whole game.

And woke up to the 5:35 alarm.
What about those that only drove 10 miles but got up at 4am? Didn't know we could be SOTG
Luke: double-double with high shooting pct.
Went with Sandy. Toss up for me between him and Luke.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is his first SOTG isn't it?

You are correct. I was surprised he didn't get one last year. But then I was also shocked (because I wiped it from my memory ) we only had 13 studs last year

Henry alone should get that many this year. However, I am not voting for him when he misses key free throws.

He was 8-12. Considering our history with free throws, we should hang a banner for that stat line.

Since it seems like more fouls might be called this year, would you consider including the FT stats under the SOG's picture?

I understand that, and I'm not one to harp on FTs.
But that is two games in a row -- the only two games he has played -- that he went 0-for-2 from the line at a key juncture of the game.
Some have very unreasonable expectations for Henry. I think making at least one FT in such clutch situations is a reasonable one.
Two games isn't a pattern or trend, however. Let's see how he does in similar situations in the future. I have a feeling he'll do great.
