I think I'd go Stevens, but Chase is deserving as well. James HM and Royce was good when he was able to be on the floor.

Just better.  Should not lose to anyone except St Johns and UConn the rest of the year.

After as much abuse as he received, it would be the height of hypocrisy to acknowledge Chase.  Adrien, because of all the 'compliments' Chase has already received.

Stevens and chase a very close second

Some boneheaded plays, but give it to the Birthday Boy. Great overall game from him and knocked down some really important 3's.

Interesting tidbit. The announcers went crazy talking about Bizjack. But I think Ross had a better game than him.

Stevens also a great choice. Tremendous game, and if it wasn't Ross's birthday, likely would have given him the nod.

Stevens. He's the best defender on the team and knocked down big shots.

Winning the BEast tourney. I dont know how. But its happening.


But I predicted a 20 pt win today, so not that accurate in my picks

If Chase hadn't had as many drives to disaster I'd go with him. As it is, I'd say Adrien - nailing threes and pretty decent D.

Again, why? First 13 minutes were ugly but the last 27 Marquette played great basketball.

Any game fans are watching of this garbage team is deserving of a stud of the game itself.


As for actual players, its either stevens or James. Ross is absolutely not him.

They haven't played like a garbage team for a month now. Time to reset your expectations. The season is lost but they aren't bad anymore

57th in T rank since 1/5. 41st since 1/17

Stevens.

Avoided the game threads like the plague this year but stopped in at halftime in part to comment on how bad Chase was. 

Credit to him for a great 2nd half.

Chase ... best game in a long time. HM for Stevens. Glad to see the improved 3-pt shot & contribution on offense.

We are better but we haven't won a road game yet......we will be a big dog on our next game at Nova.....certainly hope for an upset but expecting a win is silly.

Saying the team has been playing solid for a month is a gymnastics hoop?

Won the last three at home. Led at half in the last two road games. They've been fine. They buried themselves, but they've been fine for a month.

If you don't like facts then that's your issue.

Post by: tower912 on February 07, 2026, 04:41:53 PM
Yes.   Obvious recent improvement.  The defense today may have been the best all season.  And MU made 3s.
4 of the last 5 at home.   The next step is snagging a conference road win.   Solid upward trajectory.

I'll be there to hang the "led at half while away twice" banner next home game.

Chase was terrible in the first half.

Nigel was locked in all game.

Chase gets it from me mainly for the fact in the second half he actually let the game come to him and stopped forcing. This is the Chase we need.
