Let's grab the bull by the horns.
Markus, done deal.
Morrow. Nearly a double double and timely with his production.
Markus is the obvious one.
Morrow also totally deserving, really glad to see him playing so well.
The game was stagnant until Markus took over.
Markus, finally I think you jerks will agree. He's been robbed twice already this year.
Ed.
C'mon! Jamal, he scored two buckets.
Marky Markus.
Below the radar stats-- Joey with 10 boards and 6 assists. 'Touny with 8 rebounds. Sammy with a quiet 21 points on 11 shots.
Markus
Honorable Mention Sam and Ed.
Ed needs a makeup at some point for the Badger robbery
Ed
1. Markus - We didn't get going until he got going
2. Ed - Picked us up when we were slacking in the second half
3. Sam - Overall efficient and smooth game
Had no idea that Joey had snagged 10 boards and dished 6 assists quietly a nice game in a supporting role
Markus - great shooting night tonight, let's hope we see more of this Friday
Markus. He was absolutely unstoppable at times. When the game got close in the first half, he seemed determined to push the lead back up to double digits -- and did it almost single-handedly over the course of about 4-5 possessions. Also played good defense overall, with 3 steals and 3 rebounds.
Markus came up huge in the first half when we put the game away. Ed was great and I love that little jumper, but it's Markus tonight.
Ed
Markus. Always nice to have someone who can go god mode; 19 points in the last 10:22 of the first half. You could have started this thread then.
Only those who don't want Markus to win it for some reason could pick somebody other than Markus.
It was an even game ... until Markus made, like, 80 straight 3s.

1a. Markus
1b. Ed
Gotta give this one to Ed. Theo in foul trouble/off night -he needs to step in. TOs are ugly, but the rest of that line is smooth. 18/8 w two steals, two dimes and two blocks.
Tough call because Markus gonna Markus, but I put Ed first because with Theo struggling the call came and he answered it.
Plus - I like balance in our STOG column. 6 names after 11 games would be encouraging.
Markus.
Markus
1. Markus. After a couple of quick turnovers, he heated up and led the way.
2. Eddie. He's starting to show how he averaged 9.4/7.5 and led Nebraska in blocked shots.
3. Sammy. Damn steady.
Need the next one Friday boys. Go Warriors!
Maybe because we have such a dynamic scorer like Markus we should have a "second" SOTG like hockey.
So Markus for sure (early TOs stopped later)
Runner ups-Joey and Ed
JoeC- need to dial down the TOs and you'll win a few of these.
Markus by a long shot. Ed was getting his in the second half, but Markus was Markus in the first and put it away.
Remember when we had Henry, and debated naming the honor "SOTG not named Henry?" Well, eff that. It was Markus all the way. Ed was good, Sam was good, Joey was good, but when Markus' shots are falling there is nobody better than him on the floor.
Howard
Markus. No doubter.
Ed and Sam were both good too.
