JJJ
DuWill honorable mention for his first half play

Lordy... Cmon.... Henry with 27 and 14.
Henry
JJJ close 2nd
HC third
Henry with that huge 3 at the end clinched it
Great all around balanced effort!
-
1) Free throw coach
2) JJJ 23 points, 5 steals, 4 assists, 5 rebounds, 8 for 8 free throws, 3 turnovers
3) Henry 27 points, 14 rebounds, 4 turnovers

1. Hank. 27 and 14 plus zero fouls in this officiating nightmare. That last part is probably the most impressive stat. Plus the big three pointer to answer St. John's taking the lead for the first time
2. JJJ, stuffed the stat sheet. He's gonna be so good next season. He had a steal and a dish to Haani that was so so sexy
3. Cheatham, thought he handled the press really well. Got the to bucket at will

Why say 4 turnovers for Henry? Because he had 1 more than JJJ?

JJ played to win.

Agree 100%

Ellenson... we are down 2 after a SJU 3 pointer, and he hits a beautiful 3 from the corner to put us back out front...
JJJ was great. So was Haani... but...
Ellenson had the shot of the game, that makes him the SOTG
-
Henry w/JJJ as close a 2nd as possible.
-
Hank. Stepped up in 2nd with Luke out.
-
Normally JJJ would have had it but Ellenson, especially in second half, was monster.
Must go Henry.
-
Henry. Not even close. 27/14. Hit the biggest shot of the night.
-

Good question, why not also mention that Henry was 9-10 from the line?
-
JjJ. Total stud game. Hitting shots, free throws, steals, rebounds. Can't play much better.
-
Henry.
Excellent game as well by JJJ.
-
Cmon. Henry doesn't play and we lose that game by 30. Not even close.
-
HE - Played 37 minutes in a game with 53 fouls AND DID NOT FOUL!
How is that possible?

Jeez, fixed just for you guys. Some people complain about anything around here, good grief. Just trying to show everyone the final stats, so I'll let someone else do it.
-
Would be happy with several.
My first thought was JJJ, but HE's numbers are pretty good (although several rebounds were uncontested after missed FT's).
-
JJJ- He is a multi dimensional player that makes everyone else play better when he is going good. His steals really demoralize the other team. He had it going all night long. First time I ever saw him play with such confidence.
Henry - Had another great game as well.
Duane- stepped it up when we need it.
-
Lordy... Cmon.... Henry with 27 and 14.
I agree, team has a good chance to win without JJJ, they might not grab a rebound without Henry. They absolutely lose without Hank. The 3 after they lost the lead was a huge. Great game.
-
JJJ
Henry's TOs were grade school stuff
And when SJU made their run he jacked up shots on like 3 or 4 occasion for bad misses.
JJJ starts runs. Closes the game. Slows the ball down at the right time. Boom.
-
Quickest decision of the year!
-
Had to make a SSOTG (Shotgun stud of the game) with the quick turnaround. Had to be Hank. I generally agree with JJJ too, but HE's 3 right after SJU took the lead clinched it for him.
-
JJJ. The only reason I'm not for Henry is because his turnovers were god awful (thinking of two in particular), JJJ's were less unbelievably frustrating.
-
JJJ very deserving but Henry is the #1, 2, and 3 focus of other team's game plan. It really opens things up for guys like JJJ to have big games. Loved his steals and passing tonight though.
-
Should have been JJJ.
Henry was the SOTO (Stud of the offense). JJJ was the SOTG.
Henry didn't play a possession of defense tonight. Jones had a career night, because Henry can't match up with anyone on D.
JJJ, 5 steals, very very smart play and put up 23 pts.
-
I agree JJJ had a good game.
But Henry had a great game. Unless everyone only thinks he gets easy points and easy rebounds now. In fact, his points were some of the toughest of the night.

Rocky, FWIW (probly not much), I agree with you.
Frankly, I thought Hank was our worst player on the court for about a 10-minute stretch of the first half -- 3 horrible turnovers and looked a little lost. But he came through huge in the second half, and his 3 was THE play of the night. Huge stones to hit that one.
JJJ very close second. He's become a heck of a player.
Also very impressed with work by Haanif and Duane.
Fun (but nerve-wracking) game to watch.
Let's take out X!!!!
-
Quickest decision of the year!
That surprised me. I do not necessarily think they picked the wrong person, but I did think there were arguments for Wilson, Haanif, JJJ and Carter. Also, Ellenson turned the ball over in the last couple of minutes and missed a drive to the basket that he should of made.
-
Henry, besides the Stats this is his last Hurrah year and JJ has one more year.
Holy Smokes it up already...Nice job Rocky!
-
I have to go with Henry, but JJJ was awesome to watch. He showed off his full offensive arsenal tonight. At times St. John's simply looked dumbfounded. Great anticipation on a number of his steals, as well (although StJ was exceptionally careless with passes).
-
Henry. I would have gone with JJ, but when SJU completed their comeback and took the lead, Henry is the one who hit the 3 to put MU back in front for good. So, by the narrowest of margins, I agree with the decision.
-
JJJ. He was dominant. He shows flashes of both George Thompson and Dwayne Wade. Love is game both offensively and defensively. He can shoot from out and slash at will to score. He is so quick with long arms that he breaks up opponent plays by deflecting or stealing balls. He is multi talented difference maker.
Henry had at least five turn overs. He plAyed like a freshman, especially in the first half. He hurried shots at times and threw the ball away and plAyed poor defense. He can make or break a team. Thank God he will be a sophomore next year.

Agree he had a down first half - but what game were you watching?

Henry had a great game and deserves SoTG, but wasn't he essentially the reason we gave up the go ahead 3 right before his 3? IIRC St. John's had a 5 on 4 because Henry was on the floor after a non call and didn't get back.
-

He also had a bad stretch with some poor shot selection and decision-making during SJU's comeback. I agree his defense was pretty much non-existent, except at winning time he altered a couple of key shots and grabbed some key rebounds. He made many huge plays, including the biggest play of the game. I'd still give him SOTG in a very tight one over JjJ.

Everyone made mistakes - but seriously he was SOTG. Some of these comments make it seem like he was a drag on the team.

JJJ.
But Henry saved the game with that 3.
-
Thank God he will be a sophomore next year.
I thought the proper term was "rookie"?
HE the proper call here despite a monster game from triple J
For those giving props to Duane, once again his defense was so bad it negates everything he did on offense. It is befuddling that a guy with his quickness can't keep anyone in front of him-- blow by after blow by.
-
HE - Played 37 minutes in a game with 53 fouls AND DID NOT FOUL!
How is that possible?
It's impossible to foul when you refuse to play defense. He was an embarrassment defensively.
-
JJJ
-
Took some time to get going but HE #1 and loved Tre-J's showing
-
I think HE might have been a little awestruck last night at the start. But he corralled that nicely and put together a great second half. I'm expecting a big game from him tonight.
Tonight's key might be Traci stopping Sumner without fouling.
-

I agree with all the arguments, but at game end there was only 18 hours left to recognize the stud. So I crowned Henry.

Stunned Wilson's new 'do' didn't get any consideration
-
This board can drive me crazy. Henry plays 37 minutes. Goes 27/14. Zero fouls. 9/10 from the line. 50% shooting, 67% from 3. And people are obsessing over his four turnovers? And that he looked bad the first 6-8 minutes of the game? Who the f*ck cares?
Do you people realize how good this guy is? I will take yesterday's performance every day of the week from Hank. If he plays like that, we have a chance to win this thing.

Couldn't agree more. Henry has been transcendent as a Freshman to the tune of being one of the greatest the entire history of the Big East conference has ever seen. Yet it may be people in his own fanbase who have shown some of the strongest shrugging of shoulders regarding his performances.

Maybe it's late game fatigue, when it's easier to use the arms rather than the feet??

Amen brother Sultan. Amen

Henry was great last night, but anyone saying he hasn't had some downs is stuck in old-timey statistics. His turnovers last night weren't an issue. You can parse whether he or JJ deserved it more, but the kid was efficient, good on the glass, and simply played a great game. What really encourages me, however, is his improvement since the start of Big East play.
Leaving out the non-conference Stetson game (where he was terrible despite a 12 points/11 rebounds double-double), looking at Henry's growth from the first eight conference games to the last 11 is stunning.
.
- In the first 8 conference games, Henry had an offensive rating over 100 only once (Xavier).
- In the last 11 conference games, Henry has had an offensive rating over 100 eight times.
- In the first 8 conference games, Henry had an eFG% of 42.2%.
- In the last 11 conference games, Henry has an eFG% of 55.0%.
- In the first 8 conference games, Henry had a 3PFG% of 23.1%.
- In the last 11 conference games, Henry has a 3PFG% of 38.2%.
- Henry is also getting more total rebounds (10.0 to 9.8) so he is improving his efficiency without costing himself effectiveness on the boards.
- Henry is getting more assists (1.6 to 1.2) so he is sharing the ball better.
.
He's still racking up double-doubles and doing all the things the basic stat lovers appreciated, but he has vastly improved when it comes to efficiency, shot selection, and doing all the little things that make those of us who enjoy advanced statistics happy. Basically, his game should be making every fan of Marquette basketball happy in the past 11 games.
Right now, Henry is playing at an All-American level. Granted, his poor performances rarely cost us wins (DePaul definitely, Georgetown and Creighton maybe, the rest we were just bad as a team and he didn't help) but going forward, we can beat almost anyone when he is on top of his game as he has been of late.
I don't expect a win tonight, but Henry has been good against Xavier already twice this season. If he can channel that again and we play good team ball, maybe our season and NCAA dreams keep going a little longer.

Right on!

HE and no doubt in my mind. I am very glad that after seeing him play early that I made to point to myself, and anyone who would listen, not to take him for granted. Too lazy to look back but I remember a poll on projected numbers for Henry and he blew by the poll.

We had people predicting 6 and 3.
He even exceeded my expectations and I think I was looking for about 15 and 6 from him.
