Going to be a high percentage of wins that end up with Kam as SOTG this year.
Jop stepped up big at the end so HM for him.
Ramsey
Gold.
Joplin
Kam.
But hell of a half for Jop. We need in the flow jump shooter Jop so bad
Kam was terrific the entire game.
We are at our best when Ben plays well.
KJ1
Jop
When he got hot, the game was over.
Is Stevie hurt?
Its Kam
Jolp, then Gold.
Joplin
Incredible performance!
Kam was great from start to finish. 24-5-8-3 (steals)
Jop went en fuego at the end to ice it. He was also great on the boards. 27-10-3 (steals)
Really tough call, but I say Jop.
One call, that's all.
It's David. 19&10 in the 2H for Jop
Kam is a great kid. I think he'll be a solid NBA player.
Jop was great.
Kam was SOTG.

Definitely.
Shaka was getting after him defensively tonight but I think he's gotten much better.
I like to see him be passionate and fired up like he was at the end.
He was calm, cool, collected and did it all.
He is an All American and an NBA player.
Tonight though, Joplin was better, especially with the game on the line
Jop for the sweet mid range shot at the elbow
Kam
Jop
Kam - he's like the maestro.

Jop was great for sections of the game but parts of the game were the opposite of SOTG

We're so much better when guys reverse the ball instead of overdribbling and playing too fast. I fully expect us to be much more poised by next Fri.

I don't
Tough to pass on the guy who went 27-10 and also put the game away down the stretch.
But Shaka couldn't get Kam off the floor - Kam was just too damn good, and he filled the box score.
I'd pick Kam, but I'd have absolutely no problem if it's Joplin.
Kam also had 8 dimes and 1 turn. He could have easily had 12-15 dimes. He was excellent from start to finish and Jop slammed the door.

Please explain your simple math from 8 to "12-15"?

I mean you met Muggs?? He historically says we should be up by like 10 more pts than we are every 1st half ha
That said he's not way off. Kam had a lot of realllllllly good passes that resulted in wide open 3s missed or stuffed at the rim or fouled no score. Coulda forsure had around 12.
Quote from: PGsHeroes32 on November 08, 2024, 11:49:33 PMCoulda forsure had around 12.
I mean sure. But didn't. I'm not objecting to Kam as sotg. Just that those other shots "should have been made". They weren't that close.

He created at least 8-10 additional wide open looks. Knock them down. Period.
I think the ref that got a steal on Chase deserves a shoutout at least
Co SOTG Kam Jones And David Joplin
With 15 minutes to go in the game GM was up 5 and had momentum. At that point Marquette scored 10 points in a row led by Joplin with 2 huge offensive rebounds and 2 3 pointers.
Joplin played with a ton of aggressiveness and confidence tonight.
Kam, honorable mention to Joplin.
We are helpless when Kam sits.
It was bad Jop in the 1st half, driving into nowhere, and good Jop in the 2nd half. Kam, however, played a complete game the whole game.
Jop needs to just catch and shoot. Take $1000 off his NIL money every time he drives. He'll learn.
SOTG = Kam
KAM

Chase and Stevie had poor games. I think they'll be fine.
Quote from: MuggsyB on November 09, 2024, 10:09:58 AMChase and Stevie had poor games. I think they'll be fine.
Chase may have had a poor shooting game but 5 boards, 4 assists, and 5 steals were big time contributions.
Kam
Kameron Jones
Honorable Mention:
David Joplin

Chase was quite good in the second half. Very important contributor to the victory.
Not sure what was wrong with Stevie.
Jop. Double double in the second half alone. Led the way when it was winning time. Kam obviously just as deserving.
Honorable mention to Ben. MU had two big runs, the one to start the game and the one to end it. Ben was part of the first and the second one started when he came back into the game. Obviously a lot of bad in between those two points. But it takes humility and resolve for a starter to get benched for 10 minutes by two freshmen and then come in and have the impact he did to end the game.
Kam was stud of the whole game, but Jop was the one who put the hammer down when it mattered. I'd lean Jop.

I was under the impression that stud of the game was for the whole game, not just part of it. I was further under the impression that the whole game mattered, not just part of it. Thanks for setting things straight!

In terms of consistency, Kam was good the whole game, but not only were Jop's highs higher but I felt he was the most impactful in terms of the final result. Happy to clear that up for you.

I think it's cute that you think there are actual rules and guidance for a message board award.

Thanks, Brew! But I'll stick with the whole game SOTG as my pick.
