Shout out to Sean though.

Sean hit the biggest shot of the game. He’s the SOTG.

Oso Igohodaro

SEAN. JONES.
-
Cmon, it’s Oso.
Sean is 0-fer from 3 before that shot
-
On the last minute alone, Sean.
Huge 3. Deflected ball on a dagger 3. Defleted ball when everyone else missed it at the end.
-
Jop, but I'd be ok with Sean.
Can't believe there aren't more votes for Jop.
-
Sean. EGBs late
-
Refs almost got it for the Bruins.
-

What game were you watching? Though no beef with the Oso call.
-
Sean was the PG when the run was ignited. He got the ball in the lane repeatedly when Tyler was struggling. Plus he can defend.
-
Its gotta be Oso.
Hes been frustrating a bit to begin the year with some uncharacteristic slop and the free throws are bad
But he started the shift. That dunk woke us up. We started running the offense through him and everything came alive.
Sean and Chase on D and getting to rim helped. But it all started and went through Oso
Jop also gets props while streaky shooting, being the only guy who could make any sort of bulk shots.
-
1A) Oso
1B) Sean Jones

Oso shook the team out of its slumber and reminded us of the Oso we fell in love with last season.

This. It was great to see a much more assertive Jop, as well.

I'd go S Jones.

Are you anti diminutive citizens????? Watch the 17-0 run and the last minute. :)
-
Dud - everyone in the game thread.
I’d go Oso but surprised by the lack of Jop love. He’s the only reason they were within striking distance.
Sean and Chase played very good stretches too.
-
Legit arguments for Oso, Sean, and Jop. Toughest call in awhile.
-
Sean
-
Joplin.
Oso.
Sean.
Joplin and Oso is tough, because Jop owned the 1H and Oso the 2nd.
Sean was huge, that shot was stones, that defense was massive. Without the above 2 we don’t win this game though
-
Hop and Oso really stepped up huge.
But it’s Sean. The goddamnn stones on that shot. My word, son.
-
And don’t forget Oso D on the last shot. Oso.
-
Sean Jones

Sean Jones

Sean ! ! ! 8-)
-
Really hard to say - Oso, Jop and Sean all have a strong case. Ultimately I'll go w Sean because Defense wins games and his final deflection was huge (even though dude still might have missed). Also got robbed with the call on that clean strip/block. Plus that shot - big when it mattered.

Jop.
Massive shot by Sean but come on.
-
Jop and Sean are very worthy, but it's Oso. From beginning to the very, very end, he was our best player.
-
Oso missed too many free throws to get SOTG. I will go with Sean Jones. Not only for that clutch 3, but the basket he scored when he came out from under the basket and then spun around the defender and scored.
Props to Tre Norman for hitting a three.

Those were also Seans only 2 buckets out of 6 attempts.
Sean was huge tonight. But people are really underselling Oso. He was even bigger in that 17-0 run and literally ignited it.
And also had huge D even if less disruptive.

Jop had a team high 19, second on the team with 4 rebounds and hit a huge shot with 2:00 left to put MU up 4.
I think I’ll change my (meaningless) vote.

Adem Bona - All PAC Twelve 1st Team Selection, averages 18 points and 8.7 boards - Held to 13 points and 3 boards
Berke Buyuktuncel - Future lottery pick - Held to 0 points, 4 rebounds on 0-5 shooting - posterized twice
Aday Mara - Supposedly a future lottery pick - Held to 0 point, 2 rebounds on 0-1 shooting
UCLA's strength was in their big men. Oso outshone them all and his dunks were what sparked our run and then knocked it up a notch. Oso was the stud.
Honorable mentions to Jop and Sean "ONIONS" Jones
-
Probably helped that we got Berke in his first game. Was not impressed with him at all, wanted him with the ball in his hands at all times.
-
Not even close. Sean and his lock down defense. UCLA started their offense 12-15 seconds into every possession. The Mad Leprechaun had to burn two time outs to set a play (and Shaka then switched to zone).
-
Sean is #1 - We don't win without him!
Jop is #2 - Kept us competitive - might have been blown out without him
Oso is #3 - The refs treated him poorly - he responded by delivering timely and violent offense!
Team win, solid coaching adjustments!
The crowd was very supportive, definitely louder than the UCLA crowd, That was fun!!! So glad I came to the game...
-
Sean is my pick with Oso and Jop tied for second.
-
I gotta go with Jop. If he hadn't thrown down some 3's in the first half, our 17-0 run wouldn't have gotten us even tied. He worked his ass off on D, including an elbow to the jaw, and held his own down low.
-
Really tough call. Jop's offense kept us in it early and he played some of his best defense against UCLA's hulking front line.
But ultimately, when no one stands out for the full 40, I'm going with the guy who played the biggest in the biggest moments.
Sean Cojones it is.
-
Jop, 19 points.
-
I give it to Sean Jones, followed by Oso and Chase. Those three ignited the comeback and did it in short order. Nod to Jones for burying the game winner.

Great points about the UCLA bigs.

Also great points, especially about Joplin's D. As I think back, it probably was the best defensive game of his career, and we really needed it.
I'm sticking with Oso, but Jop's very worthy. As is Sean.
Love debating SoG when there are numerous worthy contenders after a hard-fought win against a good team!
-

This is true. I make a point to watch Jop on D. He's really improved. He played some outstanding D last night.
I was planning to then say, "But I still think it's Oso for SOTG" - but I convinced myself. Between the scoring and the defense last night, I say it's Joplin.
-
Lots of prisoner of the moment takes here. Without Joplin, Marquette loses by at least 19

Osp.
His defense on UCLA with 2 seconds left sealed it.
His dunks started it.
Now, if he would learn to shoot free throws consistently!

Unlikely unless the form changes.
Sean Jones for SOTG.

Good luck Rocky! When there’s a clear SOTG, he has 5 days to make the call. When it’s close, he has a few hours.

this. And amazing defense too. Jop is sotg

Sadly, he's been fairly "consistent"
-

I really like Sean Jones and he's going to win plenty of SOTGs before his time at Marquette is done. But I'm not sure I want to award SOTG based - in large part - on a shot that caused every right-thinking Marquette fan watching to scream, "No, no, no, yes!"
-

He shoots them consistently. He does not make them consistently.

Jop would be a very worthy choice, as would Oso and Sean. Not sure why insulting fellow Scoopers just because they disagree with you is your go-to post.
Given that you always say Jop, even when he doesn't play well, you would have earned some cred (or at least a chuckle) if you had simply said, "Stevie."

I don’t understand - he always plays well…

Oso, he was the force behind that 17-0 run and changed the momentum of the game.

On the bright side you got the chuckle instead

Yup, had to go quickly. *Hopefully* Oso only gets 24 hours in the spotlight before I'm forced to make another quick decision!

Per usual, it’s a valid question.

12-15 seconds into the possession? That's early for Mick Cronin teams.

I’m going Jop, the missed FTs by Oso broke the tie for me. I wish Oso would’ve spent all that time in the offseason that he spent behind the 3 point line, instead at the foul line. I actually believe shooting 3s messed with his FT stroke.
Let’s get good Kam & good Tyler, with what we had last night and get a Baylor performance vs the Jayhawks. We owe them a beat down (or two)!
-
Sean Cojones it is.
Though I (and rocky) disagree with the choice, he had a nice game ... and that's a GREAT nickname. Well done, brew.
And for all the attention he's getting for that 3 and his D (well-deserved), that was one sweet move Sean had for the layup. Totally okey-doked the defender into thinking he was taking the ball back out of the lane.
-
Agree on the nickname. And thanks to several posters pointing out his effectiveness getting into the lane when no one else could (he looked dwarfed in there) and disrupting the Bruin offense, I appreciated his contribution more this morning than I did last night.

"Projected first round pick" I admire the optimism. But Oso more than held his own against a stable of long, talented forwards. Showed he can handle with either hand and initiate offense at 6'11.
-
I actually thought that Oso may have taken another forward last night as a player. It seemed that he played, tougher, more aggressively and showed true leadership with his play. It felt like he knew he was playing against extremely good big men and he decided to move into a higher gear. He has shown glimpses before, and I think last night be the start of even bigger things from him the rest of the way. He looked much closer to an NBA player last night, IMO.

Oso's quickness and mobility for a big man is fun to watch. He still doesn't have a shooting touch, but his aggressiveness around the hoop is definitely more noticeable this year.
-
Gotta give the love to Jop. It was a spectacular game coming off a rather blah one. And he is the reason MU was in the game at all. Obviously, every point was huge. Tre’s three - one make… if he missed who knows

I gave my SoG vote to Jop, but there was a point in that second half where I said to myself “Oso is going to win us this game, he’s playing with a vengeance.”
TyKo was sitting.
Oso got the ball in spots where you wouldn’t expect him to get strong and he did, several times.
He definitely turned a page in his ferocity, and looked much more like a pro. I hope it continues tonight and again tomorrow against Dickinson and then Edey.
I want to see him hold his own on the D end and then dribble, pass, and scores circles around them with his speed and shiftiness
-
Anyone thinking Oso is coming back next year to “work on his game” for the NBA don’t know ball
-
Rico
Agreed. Oso showed signs of what he can be down the road. I think last night was his coming out party and think he plays big again tonight. Even his postgame interview seemed more like a man on a mission vs. being a nice guy.

Oso is one of my favorite Marquette players ever.
Arrived with little fanfare and hardly played as a freshman, worked his butt off, contributed as a role player for a good (but not great) team for a new coach as a sophomore, worked his butt off even more, became an outstanding starting center with a unique skill-set for a conference championship team as a junior, worked his butt off again, and became one of the unquestioned leaders for a legit national title contender.
Great young man, great story.
