Kam set the tone. I'd go him. Stevie is a total game changer defensively though.
I think anyone who hits double digit rebounds in a win will automatically get my vote this year.
3:41 left.
Foul!!!
MU not covering yet, if they don't cover....loss
Kam
SOTG - Those that took the Huskies and the points or the old codgers that figured out app streaming for the first time in their lives.
Didn't cover, but if we must, Jop
Jones the Elder
Kam
Al Amadou for his late game slam! Great first points as a Warrior!
Kameron Jones
1) Kam- didn't touch rim, shot looked pure. Despite the hot hand, didn't find the need to chuck.
2) TyKo- started meh, settled nicely. Worked hard on both ends and shot looked nice. Passing wasn't there tonight but other aspects were.
3) Chase- game has slowed down for him. Looked like it's all coming together
Kam
Jop
Kam
All answers besides Ben Gold are incorrect... that was a top 10 MU dunk of all time.
Pretty easy. Kam
I vote for:
1. Old codgers who streamed for the first time - AND got past the Free Preview on the Fox Sport App.
2. Kam
3. Chase
Jop
Enjoyed watching the growth of Ross and Gold, and we got solid games from Kolek, Oso and Stevie ... but Kam's pretty obvious.
Kam
Kam set the bar , so Kam it is

It was a very nice dunk but not in the team picture of best all time MU dunks.

Thanks, my bachelors degree finally payed off.
Shaka. We have a great and deep team that plays well together.

Ps - I think all 8 returning regulars had between 6 and 9 FGA. That's remarkably odd, I think??

That's why God invented Marquette engineers. They have to be good for something!
Kam a good choice, but I also liked Chase's efficiency - kid is definitely going to get paid money to ball - almost certainly on the US side of the pond.
I have to go with Kam. He set the tone early with his threes, legitimately attacked the rim in the second and sought out contact leading to a career high in FTAs, and showed some aggression on the boards late. Studly performance.
Honorable mention to Chase and TKO.

Don't get me wrong - TKO is awesome and our most important player - but I wasn't impressed with his game last night - try to force things a bit too much (although as I and others have mentioned - his deep stroke looking much improved). 4 assists against 3 TOs versus a very poor NIU teams isn't his best outing. I'm no sport psychologist, but clearly dude thrived when he had a chip on his shoulder - not sure being the favourite suits his approach.

This cracked me up. I tried to get a classmate ('80) onto the stream, but he just couldn't figure it out. I'll go with Kam on this one. Still smooth! If the team needs energy, Stevie will provide! TKO added some arch to his shot, it would appear, and loved Chase staking a claim as the next BEast 6th man of the year.

He had two turnovers early and I agree he was looking to force things too much. But he settled down nicely and played very well after that.

I chalk those TOs up to first game jitters. It will be interesting to see how teams play TKO in conference. In his first season, teams played him to pass because his offensive game was not as good. In his second year, teams played him to pass and he scored. This is where having other players that can drain shots is going to be important. It will be interesting to see what Ross/Stevie and Jops numbers are in conference from 3.

I thought he looked bored.

Were you in the building? He simultaneously stiff armed NIU's center with his left while dunking with his right. Yes he's 6'11, but the level of coordination on that dunk was incredible.

Al Amadou for his late game slam! Great first points as a Warrior!
I was going to post the same thing. I was not able to watch the whole game, because of the Big East opening day coverage. Amadou's dunk was the most enjoyable thing I saw.
Quote from: bilsu on November 07, 2023, 12:50:19 PMAmadou's dunk was the most enjoyable thin I saw.
Give him a break! He's just a frosh and will eventually put on some weight!
Bravo.

Agree Kam for SOTG.
Agree Stevie had an awesome game among others too! Stevie lead the team by far with +26 +/- ratio. In playing less than half the game Stevie also led team in steals with 3. Stevie had 6 rebounds also.
Stevie
Kam Jones gets my nod.

He's not wrong. The team D was completely different any time he was off the court.
That said, our lazy mods need to stop salivating over McRibs and put Kam's picture up.

Obviously, we're not in mid-season form. I'm trying to figure out why SJU didn't get credit for a win over Stony Brook in the standings. These are REAL PROBLEMS people!
