1. Sam. Many more SOTG to come for him.
2. JjJ. Yes, he took an ill advised shot, but played good D and rebounded when we needed it.
3. Matt. Great game by him filling in for Fishy.
4. Markus is fun to watch.
Great win! Go Warriors!
Sam. Outstanding.
Agree with all 4 and the sequence
Slammin' Sammy
Hauser. I can't believe hw is a freshman.
Hauser. Easiest call of the season.
Honorable mention: Howard.
Freshman killed it.
Hauser
Sam. No question. This kid is GOOD!
Big Sam
Sam Hauser. What a stud.
Hauser. Solid chance we get 9 different SOTGs this season. Maybe even 10.
Mayday
Sam SAm SAM
Sam, if any one else says anything different they should be banned for sheer stupidity!
Sam Hauser. 7-10 from the field, 4-7 from three. If I've got the calculation right, that's an eFG% of 90 percent. Total stud. Also pulled down 6 boards, got a steal and played some tough defense against skilled, bigger post players.
Want to say Sam because he paced us, but Johnson was everywhere. 5 steals, 8 boards, and some big ones among the trees for second chance points.
Sammie "the House" Hauser. Great game!
Gotta be Sam. But Heldt deserves a boatload of credit for playing so well while Fisch sat out.
1. Sam
1.a Markus
Hauser. He plays like a veteran.
Sam I am
Sam Hauser. AKA Doogie. AKA Sammy Splash. AKA The Hauswitzer. AKA Haus you like me now.
JJJ would have gotten my vote if he didn't launch it from halfcourt early in the shot clock. Most fucking stupid shot I have ever seen.
Sam.
M2N great as well.

1.jjj had 16 points 9 boards 5 steals 3 assists and 1 blocked shot. He worked hard on rebounding and defense and without his intensity we would not have won. Yes it was ugly at times but he kept fighting on and never gave up
2. Sam made the most of his opportunities on the road very impressive
Sam
SAM. But must mention JJJ ' s hustle and big contributions as well.
Hauser. Nice games by JJ and Howard as well.

Apparently they gave jjj another rebound, so he had a double-double.
Hauser, but Johnson not that far behind.
Sam.
Marcus was no.2.
I appreciated the efforts from JJ and Howard, but it has to be Sam. And that said...
Watching Sam the past month, he really reminds me of a young Doug McDermott. I know it's easy to make insane comparisons, but just look at their games. About the same size, both solid defensive rebounders, great three-point shooters who take smart shots, efficient inside and out, just an obvious great player. I understand that McDermott put up far gaudier numbers, but if Sam was playing on a middle-of-the-conference team in a mid-major like McDermott was as a freshman, don't you think he could be putting up 15/7? Say that he was playing for Missouri State, Green Bay, or another mid-major, wouldn't his stats look similar? I'm really excited to see what he will become. Howard as well, but man, I'm loving me some Sammy.

Sam's defense gives it to him.

Shout out to Matt for playing like a bat out of Heldt!
Sam.
JJ and Markus honorable mention. Katin played better, still not to the level I had hoped.

I think that's a great comparison. Sam has a ways to go on the defensive end (what Frosh doesn't) but the kid is an absolute natural.

Yo chili! Nice
1) Sam
2) Markus
Matt Heldt--biggest game when we needed him the most.
16 min 4 pts 7 reb(4 off revs) only 3 fouls and was scrappy and smart when we needed it.
If MH came in and had a typical MH game with the foul trouble of others this would have gone down a different road. MH did enough to allow others to win this game.........and for that Matt you are the S.O.T.G. Take a bow.
sam was clutch. appreciate what jjj did...but 5-15 isn't sotg worthy given what sam did in crucial points of the game.
The Sammer
Wojo, for getting up in JjJ's grill at halftime.
Sam's 6 point run in the 2nd half was a big time momentum changer and i believe sealed the victory.

Glad you highlighted this article, which went in depth discussing two different occasions in this game in which our head coach motivated his team to sensational results.
As for SOTG, I'd pick Sam, too, but I don't think it was by a landslide at all, as some suggested. JJJ played like a man possessed in the second half -- was absolutely the best player on the court. We don't build that nice lead without him getting steals on THREE straight Georgia possessions, including one out of a GA timeout. Very impressive run. We had a good rebounding edge largely thanks to JJJ's 10 boards, too. But Sam was outstanding all game long, and deserves the SOTG, IMHO.
Very honorable mentions for Howard and Heldt. I'm feeling pretty good about the future with our Hellacious H's: Hauser, Howard, Haani and Heldt!!!

I am a big fan of Sam but your own words are why I think JJJ is deserving of the honor .

Interesting. I thought you said Wojo was a "de motivator." Sticking by that?

Is Wojo a "de motivator" ... or is MFINY often a "d'oh commenter"?

Yeah, still trying to understand his statement that Wojo doesn't have the players Back. Where, why did he come up with that.
Sam I Am!
Wojo.
Gave everyone a rest.
That's good coaching
Samuel is rightfully the SOTG from yesterday.
Jury is still out on his nickname, though.
Some good, workable suggestions so far in this thread, but I'd go with "Hauser? I hardly know her!"
Sudden Sam
Doogie.
I like the trend of these SOTGs, more to choose from Tuesday night.
Sam will continue to make people forget Henry. He is already a much better player for our team.

Only if you stop saying this will people actually forget Henry. So my bet is no, they won't forget him.

I will NEVER forget Cordell Henry.

I'll agree that Sam is better for what Wojo wants to do. He's a better defender and decision maker. But as far as ability to take a game over, raw physical talent, Henry has a definitive edge. Despite playing a somewhat similar position, they are very different players. I'm glad we had Hank, and I'm even happier we have Sam.
