1. Haanif
2. HE
3. Du.
HUGE win!!
Go Warriors!
I'll go with Haanif
Wilson--made the winning bucket.
No brainer for Henry!!
13/10 with 3 steals and 4 blocks including the game winner.
Wojo / Raff seem to vote Haanif. I won't overrule them.
Haanif. Though better defense and physical play from Henry too.
Henry, 13-10, game ending block
Haanif, great all game.
Duane, game winning hoop. Third because of some sloppier play early.

I agree with the order. haanif put up the numbers. HE because of the final block. Duane for the final bucket just wish he would hit his FTs.
Just simply team effort. They all busted it
Henry came up big on D last couple of minutes. He gets my vote.
A great, great team effort, Haanif if we must select one.
Do you believe, wow!
No way for HE with his lousy/horrific 3 point shooting.
Haaaaneeeeef!
Tough call between Henry and Haanif but I'll go with Haanif. Set the tone early and was hard to stop all night.
Duane doing his best Vander impression at the end is a close 3rd.
Cheatham.
HC for me.
Cheatham. Played his best defense all season and a very good offensive game as well.
HE filled the stat sheet and had the game winning block. No brainer.
Dunn had 7 turnovers...and while Henry blocked his last shot, Haanif caused trouble for Dunn on that play and down the stretch where Dunn had two key turnovers. Haanif gets my vote
Cheatham
Cohen was big on our comeback.

Henry
Great stats
Henry or Haanif.
Huge shot by Duane though. Great move, finished through contact and scored, even though he didn't get the call.
Beat 'em with Cheatham
Henry. He came through when needed.
Bentil. Wow, what a beast. That kid was amazing, more impressive than Dunn.
But since I have to vote for one of ours, I guess Henry. His threes drove me nuts, but another double-double and the game clinching block.
Henry. Solid throughout
It's obviously not Jajuan, but he had two big buckets when the offense stagnated that kept or regained momentum. Just wanted to give the guy a shoutout, I think he's picking his spots really well this year.
Duane has not been a SOTG this year and hit the game winner.
It's his time.

The carry at the end was almost a huge turnover. Fortunately, Dunn threw it away on the next possession.
Ha if. He is coming into his own - solid big east play
Hani
Haanif
Another reason for Duane
@Matt_Velazquez
What a gritty, gutty win by Marquette on the road at No. 8 Providence. Duane Wilson yelling "That's what I'm talking about" in the tunnel.
That is what a Stud does!!
Henry over Haanif in a tight one. His best defense of the season. Got big boards and a couple big blocks including the last one. Haanif was also solid throughout. Nice drive with some finishes and a good performance on D as well.
Haney
1. Haanif played a very sound game
2. Henry hustled and worked hard on D
3. Duane was clutch and was essential to winning.

Especially great to win a game when the other team had the two best players on the floor. Great effort.

This team lacks a "gimme the ball and get out of the way" leader when the game is on the line. Maybe Duane will try to take the spot.
1. Cheatham, because he was our best player tonight.
2. Du. Will, because he made the clutch shot.
3. Henry, for being Henry.
Cheatham
Henry...the rebounds and blocked shots were huge to compliment his scoring. His outlet passes after defensive rebounds were a small but important thing.
Haanif a very close second. He is gong to be a joy to watch...reminds me a bit of Jalen Rose.
Great shot by DU but it does not make up for the turnovers and misses fts.
Under appreciated gang of Wally, heldt, and JJJ all contributed. Nice to see.
Btw, some great locker room celebration videos out there on social media...love the youthful exuberance!

Hah. Nice. Wojo knows what the young guys are into. The "dab" (lame), last year's beginning a press conference with, "I'm just here so I don't get fined." He puts on a mask in the media, but I'm guessing he's pretty loose with the guys.
That's great. And I thought Scoopers were happy....

Completely agree with this. He played within himself and made some key contributions. there were a couple of situations where, last year, he would have just jacked up the hero three ball, but here he pulle dit down and made good things happen.
Haanif........Steady most of the game, he was a stabilizer.

He truly is becoming a team player, really proud of him.
Just rewatched the last 6 minutes with MU down 8.... Henry blocks two shots....plays great defense to alter others...grabs boards....draws a double team allowing JJJ a clear layup to the hoop....gets a major steal.....then comes up with the big block at the end. Looooove Haanif....but HE is such a talent you just don't even notice sometime how impactful he really is on the game.
Just got back from the game. My vote is definitely for Cheatham.
Also disappointed that Wally did not see the floor in the second half. He brought a lot of energy during his stint in the first. And it's truly beautiful watching and the kid rebound.

Definitely looks like a group sick and tired of Wojo's mind games!
Cheatham
NOT Henry... Most of Providence's baskets during their comeback were against Henry's defense (or lack of defense). I'm not anti-Henry, just want to see a more complete game win SOTG.
Strong Runner-up: Wojo - managed the game well, good time usage, nice switch to zone, used TO's wisely, but most of all, had the team prepared for this one.
cheatham....yup
wow, not much love from the espn's of the world. i know, we got some mention, but they are tongue-kissing simmons-he can do no wrong for them. saw a comparison of him to magic johnson and lebron-puhhhleeeeze. we beat the #8 on the road and it's like, oh yeah, nice one. they beat #9 kentucky on their floor and they anoint them the world beaters. funny stuff. once you're in their world man, it's hard to get out. hey espn-we beat simmons and lsu!!!

I clicked over to the end of the Kentucky/LSU game last night, which led into SportsCenter. Of course, all they could do was gush about Simmons. I thought it was funny, just like when we beat a ranked LSU team, the postgame talk was all about Simmons, now we go beat the #8 team in their gym, and again, the talk is all about Simmons.
Then when they finally got to the Marquette game (3rd story, I think) it was all Providence highlights until the end when they showed Duane's layup and Henry's block.
I was definitely chuckling at the coverage...undone again by Simmons!
It's hard to argue against Henry given his fat stat line, but Cheatham gets my vote. Such an efficient game - 16 points on 71% shooting including 1/1 from three, to go along with the defense. On the season, Cheatham is hitting 56% of his shots, including 61% of his threes.
cheatham. most consistent performer throughout the game
I'm going with Hani but EVERYONE contributed. Even Matty gave us 5 very solid minutes.
Cheatham
After Henry hit his 1st three point attempt I was worried he'd keep jacking them up, went 1-5. Hasn't Wojo already mentioned at times the team jacks up too many?

not to turn this in to a bs thread, but i hate when sporting news in general start hailing a dude before he's even dry behind the ears. once they anoint someone, many times, they are stubborn to criticize b/c it would be like admitting they were wrong. i'm sure we will have a thread or two on bs and other legitimate POY'S, but i remember when they did this to a certain quarterback in the nfl who was adequate at best and then went on to flame out. anyway, MU's great win overshadowed by a good, but not yet great playa...stay tuned. go HE

LOVED his game. Do that every night young fella. Guys are starting to find their roles. JJJ, Wally and Matty are very important to this team. Even Sacar's 30 seconds at the end of the half at GTown. Not commenting specifically on his foul that possession but his willingness to enthusiastically do his job when called upon.

They showed the replay a few times throughout the broadcast (at one point coming back from break they highlighted his versatility by showing a bucket of his in the post, that shot, and a block at the defensive end) and it was definitely a 3 pointer.

Honestly think our unrealistic expectations of what Henry should be is keeping us from appreciating all he does for us. Henry was easily the best Warrior on the court last night. Double double, 3 steals, 2 turnovers, 4 blocks, including the game winner. Give it to Hank!

I think you are under appreciating how difficult it is for a guard to be as efficient as Cheatham was, while controlling the offense much of the game and guarding a guy slated to go number 5 in the NBA draft.
Even with all that he was the leading scorer.

I would imagine that you're probably right to some extent. I probably don't give Henry quite enough credit for rebounds and altering shots when he does get in position. My biggest sticking point for Henry last night was shot selection. Henry shot a respectable 46% last night, but that percentage would have been a lot better if he had stayed away from the three point line, where his 1-for-5 shooting brought his season average down to 25%. Not only is Henry's 3pt % lowest on the team for all except Wally, but our best rebounder (Henry) is not there to rebound the other 75%. Now...Henry's impact in other aspects of the game would have gotten him the nod in most games, but shot selection gave Cheatham the slight edge last night. Either way, I'd take that Freshmen combination over nearly any other team's two best Freshmen.
At this point, I'd be happy to see Heldt get SOTG, just to get someone up there. Come on, mods, enough reminding us of the Georgetown loss! We beat a top-10 team last night!!!
Henry shooting threes doesn't really bother me. They are usually smart and open looks. He can hit them. IIRC he shot around 40% from three in Italy and that was from nba range. He has the range but hasn't been hitting them. If he was taking contested threes, I'd have an issue. But if he has the shot and its halfway through the shot clock or less, then he should take it.

Safe to say that what happened in Italy was fun, but isn't the same as real game action. Similarly, we heard about how great guys like Dan Fitzgerald and Jake Thomas were in practice. Maybe Jake could hit 100 straight in an open gym, but if it isn't translating to game action, it's not the same.
I have a few problems with Henry's threes. First, often Henry isn't taking in rhythm threes. Usually, he hesitates before shooting. Seems to think about whether he should pass or shoot. More often than not, the threes guys think about are the ones that don't go in. Not sure why that is, but it seems universal among even good shooters.
Next problem is that he's doing it when Luke's not on the floor. You can't be the only big man on the floor and launching threes. If you miss (which he does over 70% of the time) there's no one to get the rebound. If Luke's down in the paint it's different, but too often he likes the quick three with no one in position to rebound wearing the same color shirt.
End of the shot clock would be okay, someone has to shoot, but it also seems like he has no problem shooting early in the clock. Quite often I find myself shaking my head and thinking "work the offense" when he jacks a shot up. It's different if you're a Steve Novak or Steph Curry type that will hit anything if you have a glimmer of daylight, but if you aren't (and he isn't) then you shouldn't be taking those shots unless it's necessary.
Henry is shooting 47.7% inside the arc. I'd rather see him try a drive and pull up from the elbow most times than shoot a three. He isn't a terrible shooter, but he shouldn't be taking more than 1-2 per game. He makes his hay from 18 feet and in. Would much rather he generally stick to that unless it's wide open and in rhythm.

We forget that he is a freshmen. 15 games into the season he is already 6th in rebounds by an MU freshmen. Barring an injury he will finish as the number one freshmen scorer and rebounder in MU history. He will finish second in block shots behind Jim MacILvanie. He could be better defensively, but even there he is doing better than the average freshmen player.

It's because when they think about the three instead of just shooting it. It translates from a subconscious muscle memory into an active movement, which are not as precise.

Hmmmmm slightly confused here. So does this thread actually mean anything? I 'unofficially' tallied the votes for Cheatham and Ellenson - it wasn't even close. The folks here overwhelmingly thought Haanif deserved this SOTG.
So this isn't really a 'vote'

I, too, share your outrage at the mods getting it wrong...again. With that said, I'm sure Rocky will happily refund your Scoop subscription.

Does sixth grade CYO basketball count?
Rocky's board, Rocky's choice. (stupid Rocky ;D) Oh, wait, I voted Henry. Never mind.
We are all blessed to have a true leader like Rocky.

Your vote was duly considered

We have neither the time nor the inclination to explain ourselves to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom of speech Scoop provides, and then questions the manner in which Scoopers provide it. We would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way. Otherwise, we suggest you pick up a keyboard and write a post.
Must have been some hanging chads. Cheatam was clearly the stud of the game.
Maybe Rocky was aptly named.

I think he was the one that was the most improved that game, but he wasn't the best player we had on the court.

Because I don't give a damn about what you think your entitled to. ;D
This is starting to resemble a game of Reverse Darts. We hold the dart, and Rocky throws the Board at us.

Did you order that Ellenson be named SOTG?
I did what I had to do!
Did you order that Ellenson be named SOTG?!?!?
YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT I DID!
It all makes sense now. Rocky models his username after the worst song in history, Rocky Top, and just like Tennessee fans, he thinks he's way more important than he is ;D
But seriously thanks mods for all you do.
Question... last year the cumulative SOTG player tally showed up on the top left. This year it doesn't. Is there a setting change to make it appear?

I can't resist. You mean you cannot add 6 numbers in your head. Here is a hint, it equals the same amount as our wins.
HE passed Carlino's team leading mark of 3 SOTGs from last season
Bolus you did not answer the question. Perhaps you didn't understand it. Last year the SOTGs were listed in the upper left. This year they are not listed.

I guess I don't quite understand what you're saying. If you don't see the block with Ellenson's picture, either...
1) You're probably on mobile/ipad (where they don't show up for size and formatting limitations)
2) You need to click the small grey "plus" symbol to the top right of the "Next up: St. John's (Al's Day)" block.

Mine says Ben Simmons is the SOTG.

He may be referring to it not appearing on the index page. I know for Safari it does not appear on the index page, but does appear in the other pages.

This is correct, it only shows in the 'Al board. It's always been that way though...I think.
