Might as well be the 1st. Heldt SOTG?*

Needs to seal the deal with one more rebound for the dub dub
Heldtasaurusrex all the way

Heldt. SOTG. Thread should've ended with the first post.
Luke doing his duty to get Heldt back in the game by fouling out.
HELDT
I have said it from day 1, we dont need scoring from the 5. We need defense n rebounding!!! The kid brings it. He can score the scraps too, good enough n the kid hits free throws!!!
He is a better fit for what this team needs.
The backup quarteback comments wrong!! estats are wrong too!!
Double Double!!!!
Heldt finished with 15pt and 10 rebounds - A DOUBLE DOUBLE!!
Guy isn't very talented but he works his a** off and gets the most out of his ability.
Hard not to root for him.
Heldtasaurausrex!
THE TERROR FROM NEENAH!!!
Congrats Matt.
Agreed!
Double double. Give it to him. Matty!
Heldt. Very impressive development from year one into year two.
Matttttttt
Heldt!
Sam
JJJ
Katin
Rowsey
without a doubt. He earned it.
Heldt, no doubt. 100% from the floor, 100% from the line and a double double. Can't beat that efficiency.
But Hauser had an awesome game.
Heldt!!!!!
Wocky, make it so.
+++
MH versus X, different MH vs St. Johns. Both unanimous, making' life easier for Rocky!
Coining it right now:
Give 'em Heldt, Steve.
Heldt +1
Will the real SOTG thread please stand up!
Gotta be Heldt, 15/10 3 fouls 1 to
Can't discount Sam's performance though - 19/8, 4 steals, 1 assist.
Id give it to Heldt but man Sammy was really really good too!
Heldt all the way
Chick says Heldt for SOTG. She gets credit for texting me before the game and predicting Heldt. Well done Chick.
This one is a lot closer for me than I think for most.
Reinhardt- When SJU went on a run and got it to 10 points, Katin went on a personal 10-0 run to squash their momentum and keep us out of spitting distance. Handed out 5 dimes too.
Sammy- Set the tone early going 4-4 from three. Grabbed eight boards and was a terror defensively nabbing three steals...two of which were all out effort plays.
JJJ- Least deserving of the group but I though he responded well after the benching and had a run in the 2nd half that put a stop to SJU's last stand. Plus...that dunk.
But the SOTG should go to Heldter-Skelter. 100% from the floor, 15 points, 10 boards and solid defense in the post. Was the heart of the team tonight.
RT@ScoopTakes: Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while. #JJJ4SOTG
Heldt's a comin'!
1. Belts.
2. Hauser.
3. Rowsey.

Quit overthinking it, friend. THE TERROR FROM NEENAH!
Fg: 6-6
FT: 3-3
Pts: 15 (career high)
Reb: 10 (I assume career high)
2 nice tip-ins
Couldn't find his minutes yet but only 3 PF's. Remember when he was a foul machine?
Had 2-3 missed FT rebounds that went to others, I thought he wouldn't get the dub-dub.
As Skat pointed out, good work by Luke. I roared when he got
the contested rebound for # 10 and was impressed that the crowd was on it. I remember a post when Matty was a recruit or a raw frosh when one of the regulars indicated he had game.
Good work tonight by Sam, JJJ, Rowsey and Swag, but it's the maiden for Matty.
Students trying so hard to be Duke. SAD!
If you go strictly by stats, an argument can be made for Sam or Katin, as well. But, Matt hung a double double and had a breakout game for him, silencing the doubters. Let him have his first.

Absolutely.
Not only is Matt SOTG no one is even contesting it! That's a first...
Heldt!!
He's rolling thunder, pouring rain
He's coming on like a hurricane
His lightning's flashing across the sky
You're only young but you're gonna die
He won't take no prisoners, won't spare no lives
Nobody's putting up a fight
He got his bell, he's going to take you to hell
He's going to get you satan, get you
Heldt's Bells!
Heldt's Bells, you got him ringing
Heldt's Bells, his temperature's high
Heldt's Bells!
He'll give you sensations up and down your spine
He's a friend of evil, he's a friend of mine
See his whiteness flashing as he splits the night
He block's shots with the left, blocks shots with the right
He won't take no prisoners, won't spare no lives
Nobody's putting up a fight
He got his bell, he's going to take you to hell
He's going to get you satan, get you
Heldt's Bells!
Heldt's Bells, you got him ringing
Heldt's Bells, his temperature's high
Heldt's Bells!
Heldt's Bells, satan's coming to you
Heldt's Bells, he's ringing them now
Those Heldt's Bells, the temperature's high
Heldt's Bells! Across the sky,
Heldt's Bells! They're taking you down,
Heldt's Bells! They're dragging you under,
Heldt's Bells! Gonna split the night,
Heldt's Bells! There's no way to fight
Heldt's Bells!
OK, I'll partially contest. People are asking me to ignore Sam's 19pts, 8 rebounds, 4 steals and one assist -- and choose the guy with 15 pts, 10 reb, and...well, that's it!?!?
Admit it. You all just want to see every active scholarship player get a SOTG! Do you think we just give participation ribbons here!?!
In this case, yes. A legit double double.

Agreed but defense too. Not that Hauser was terrible on D but Heldt had to clean up the mess when we loss guys on the perimeter plus deal with St. John's bigs.
That said, I would have no problem with Hauser either.

I see where you are going with that. Heldt came to play, had been amping up his game the whole year, hell I would have gave it to him for his OT Seton Hall defensive performance alone. Close contest Heldt by a nose.
Don't listen to them Rocky. Screw the "everyone should get one" crap, if Luke puts up the same numbers than Nobody is saying Luke should get SOTG and wed all vote Sam

Heldt didn't miss all night. 10 rebounds. Perfection.
Sam with the three turnovers disqualifies him
I thought Heldt's performance overall had a larger impact on the outcome of the game than Sam's did.
This is a nice problem to have. Great performances all around. Looking forward to the great finish to the season!!
Matty "The Beast" Heldt for SOTG!
Last time around, Yakwe killed us. Tonight he was denied in the post. It's not ignoring Hauser, but acknowledging Heldt.
1. Matty. Came to play. I get your rationale Rock, but he was perfect on the night.
2. Doggie. Great seeing him go off early and often.
3. JjJ. The dunk alone gets him third.
Good team effort. Go Warriors!
Quote from: Dr. Vinnie Boombatz on February 21, 2017, 09:05:23 PM
Heldt. Very impressive development from year one into year two.
I'd say on top of that, his non-con improvement until now has been very encouraging. He made a big leap last year too, but got hurt towards the end.
Good point, Lighthouse. Matt didn't just score 15, he was 6/6 from the floor and 3/3 from the line. No wasted possessions on offense. 100% eFG% cannot be denied (especially considering Sam's paltry 95%).
Had Markus not exploded last game Matt 'the difference' Heldt would be back to back.
Look at the line my brothers:
29 minutes, 6-6 shooting, 3-3 from the line, 10 boards, 1 TO, and 3 fouls. That's the equivalent to 140+ quarterback rating.

TAMU sums it up perfectly. Not discounting Sam's performance, and could care less about having all Scholarship players win SOTG, but IMO Heldt was SOTG tonight.

I'd put JJJ ahead of Reinhardt but otherwise I like everything you say here.
This is why we didn't need to give Heldt a pity SOTG a few weeks back when lots of Scoopers were lobbying for it even though other players were easily more deserving.
40 years from now, when Matt is bouncing his grandson on his knee, he'll proudly recall this day and finish describing the action by saying,
"And when I got my first SOTG, I really earned it. That's what made it so satisfying."

Had the same thought. Turnovers were the difference for me. 1 for Heldt, 3 for Sammy.
It better be Heldt
It was a good team effort overall. Sam got us out of the gate strong. He had a robust stat line. However, what Matt did against a very athletic team is impressive. I would say give it to Matt simply because without him we would not have won. JJJ had some honorable mention worthy moments in the second half.

Yep, because then Fisher would have had 22 minutes (double his 11), 12 points (double his 6), and 14 rebounds (double his 7), and 10 fouls. Or maybe not.
Heldt was also fantastic defensively, hedging screens and getting back or keeping with the guard.

If I admit it, will that sway you? I'll admit it. During the game I was hoping that Heldt would have a big game so that we'd see every active scholarship with a SOTG. I thought that would be kind of cool.
But, as I said, I was hoping he'd have a big game. I wanted him to deserve it; to earn it. And he did. Heldt for SOTG.
HELDT
Hauser
JJJ (dear God... that dunk was amazing!)
JJJ played pretty good in his return. But it has to go to Heldt
Perhaps the new cover photo on Marquette BB's Facebook Page (https://www.facebook.com/MarquetteMensBB/) should count as a vote for SOTG.

He was talented enough to get multiple D1 offers....and he is talented enough to have 15-10 in a Big East game in a must win for his team near March...Maybe didn't come in with much "talent" but Wojo and the weight room are making him into something.

Wise call.
I voted for Heldt because I think he deserved it, but Sam did have a heck of a game. I especially liked his great diving, sprawling save of a ball headed out of bounds ... except that Haani turned it over about 2 seconds later. And I think that might have been it for Haani for the night.
I also very much liked Sam's two mid-range jumpers after nice fakes shed the defender who had closed on him. After the first one, I said that if he did that more often it would make him a more dangerous, well-rounded player. After the second one, Bardo said the same thing. Which either confirms my superior intellect or worries the hell out of me.

Sam was brilliant not just on his early 3s but his two pull-up moves. Hadn't seen that from him creating his own shot. His best game of the season, I thought.

Thought the same thing and hope we end up as successful as UW has been the past 15 years.
I went for Heldt partly grading on a curve. Sam had a great game, normally SOTG worthy. But Sam has played at that level before. Matt may have had his Jean Felix game last night, playing way above what anyone thought was possible.
Glad Matt is SOTG. Otherwise there would have been Heldt to pay!

Any idea what the record is for most number of different SOTGs we have had in a single year is? Wondering if 9 different SOTG candidates is close to the record.
