Think it has to be Kam.
But Stevie and Chase were awesome, and the defense is so, so much better when Ben is on the court (plus some good offense from him today).
Jop isn't in the conversation, and the numbers may not agree, but my eye test tells me he's not just a passable defender now, but a plus defender. His activity is so much better than I ever expected from him.
Kam no doubt.
Kam
Defense
You think?
It's crazy to say that an MU player would get a triple double and not be SOTG, but it is hard to not say Stevie.
He had an insane game.
Kam and Chase also very deserving.
You get the third triple double in program history, it's an automatic SOTG.
Ummm, well, I don't know, I guess I'll go with that Kam guy
KAM
Obviously Kam, but great team performance.
I mean yeah, its Kam
Incredible from Stevie and Chase
Jop and Ben for all their insane offensive issues all year. Very impactful on D at key times.
Kam but Stevie was absolutely outstanding. Tremendous team defensive performance as well.
Kam but I loved Stevie tonight too
A strong argument can be made that Kam, Stevie, and Chase all played their best game ever in a Marquette uniform.

Chase, definitely, Stevie, maybe, Kam, I feel silly arguing against a triple double
Coaching staff....... All the right moves
Kam obviously, but huge input from Chase and Stevie!

I agree. Stewie was awesome. Stewie and Kam are The Show.
3rd triple-double in MU history. Kamerooski!
Kam. What a luxury to have multiple SOTG candidates.
I mean it has to be Kam, but damn. Hard to imagine that a guy gets a triple double and I'm feeling like Stevie really deserves it. But it has to be Kam.
Unless...the mods implement a special rule where if a guy gets a triple double, he is the "Legend of the Game" and not eligible for SOTG. Kind of how the BE POY isn't even on the All BE First Team. If there was a rule like that, then I'd vote for Stevie.
Ross played 37 minutes. He was huge. So was Stevie. But still has to be Kam
Kam, but Chase was fucking awesome on defense. Stevie too.
It's Kam but holy sh*t if Chase didn't have half those deflections
Kam. Kam.
Kam. Kam.
Kam. Kam.
The Triple Double!

Exactly.
It's gotta be Royce
I mean it's gotta be Kam. He scored or assisted on 17 of our 27 FG (63%) and also grabbed 13 of our 31 rebounds (42%). This is the kind of performance to get him right in the thick of it for NPOY.
But my goodness, Stevie deserves mention for the best game of his career. Career high 21 points, 4 steals, 0 turnovers, and a defensive pest vs Braden Smith all night.

I think you are right on the maybe for Stevie. After giving this some thought (and looking through a game log), the 17 point 6 steal game vs. X in Feb 2023 (the Omax tip-in game) might top it. He forced Souley Boum into 7 turns that night.
Kam

If Stevie misses his last shot would he be STOG?
Quote from: MUBBau on November 19, 2024, 10:50:57 PMIf Stevie misses his last shot would he be STOG?
Would probably be Stevie in that case.
So, Stevie helped his podcast mate make Marquette history and likely win the SoG award, what a guy.
Seems like the perfect time for the co-winner crowd

Kenpom had Stevie as MVP, so obviously it's him.
J/K it's Kam.
Kam Jones
Honorable Mentions Stevie And Chase
Kam. Easy.
I liked how Benetti and Raftery spent the last 3-4 minutes of the game rooting for Kam to get the triple-double.

This exchange got me after a Kam layup...
Raf: "He's master of his domain."
Benetti: "It's real and it's spectacular."
Jason and Raft together are great.

Chase and Stevie each with 5 steals. That is huge.
But a triple double is historic. Kam.
0 assists for Stevie. Gotta be Kam.
If he didn't pull a triple double my vote would be Chase but give it up to Kam.

agreed. The job he did defensively on Smith was masterful.

Consistent with my post/vote up-thread, I have to admit that once they started talking about it one of my thoughts was, "Stevie really deserves SOTG, but if Kam gets that triple double, it'll have to be him."
Ross - played amazing D. 4 steals, 5 boards. Impactful play...
but:
Stevie - leading scorer, also 4 steals, impactful defense and hit key free throws at the end...
but:
Kam - one of the most masterful displays of team and individual play we've had the pleasure of watching in a long time.
Kam
I will go with Matt Painter's pick...Kam
Kam, but weirdly would've gone for Stevie if he didn't hit that last 3. Entire starting 5 on D were exceptional.
Kam

Not weird at all.
I'll go with Benetti and say Kameron "Syrup" Jones
How can you give it to a guy who missed every one of his three point attempt????? Surprised he didn't cost us the game.
Hats off to Stevie and Chase to even make it an option to include anyone other than the guy with the triple double.

Agree picking Kam. Could also hear Matt Painter say Kam's name under his breath and shake his head after Kam made a basket late. Reminded me of Charlie Spoonhauer uttering McIlvaine's name after Mac blocked another shot.

Yeah I'd vote Kam but just to confirm that people who are mentioning Stevie aren't crazy.....Pomeroy actually had Stevie as the game MVP.
Mr. Triple Double, obviously.
Chase was my pick until the last five minutes. Stevie right up there as well
