1. Fishy.
2. JJJ.
3. Engine.
4. Du. Why did he shoot that 3??
We tried everything we could to give it away. Big game. Big W. Go Warriors.
-
Johnson and do not even bother to argue it.
-
JJJ - game winning FT's. And lots of other good stuff.
-
JJJ. Hands down.
-
johnson. clutch free throws. win a close one. hopefully his experience continues to show as the rest of the team was awful down the stretch
-
JJJ no doubt played well the entire game
-
JJJ and it's not even close.
-
J cubed
-
Fischer is our best player. It's between him and Johnson.

What was wrong with the 3? Wide open, chance to go 2 for 1. Not sure you were going to get a much better shot than that.
-
JJJ energy off bench and clutch FT's
-
JJJ. He played like a man tonight.
-
Ben Simmons. He was actually the only player on the floor tonight. Or at least the announcers struggled to name anyone else.
JJJ. Played like a veteran, great to see. If he finds that elusive consistency, he's a really nice player.
-
JJJ was aggressive all night, wanted the ball at the end, and made the shots. Upperclassman stepping up.
-
Close but I would say Luke. Played smart with 4 fouls. Some great rebounds and outlet passes to aid transition.
Also, practice outside with PE clothes the rest of the year!!
-
Actually, it was Ben Simmons according to the ESPN announcers. I think he was the only one playing as a matter of fact.
-
JJJ. Huge game.
Honorable mention to Luke.
-
JJJ
-
JJJ by wide margin IMO.
-
TreyJ played like he was shooting a highlight reel.
-
JJJ. I think he was able to get to the rim and he played with more poise then everyone else. He needs to go to his left and hit outsides shots.
-
JJJ
Fischer
Traci
Hank
Henry

Another vote for JJJ -- excellent game overall and clutch at the end.
-
Can i get a moniker update on all our players? Who the unnatural carnal knowledge are the engine and fishy? Are there any others i should be aware of? And those are really the names we are going with? You guys are weird.

Fishy is an obvious play off of Fischer. Carter was dubbed 'the engine' in Italy. Cohen is sometimes called 'chief'.
-
J3
-
JJJ - No question. He single handedly won that game for us.
-
Plain white Tshirt.
-
I never thought we'd see a game like this from JJJ, but he showed the most solid game he has since he's been here
-
JJJ
-
JjJ. Perhaps his best game as a Warrior.
-
JJJ. With Luke a close second
-
JJJ played a very complete game. He deserves it.
-
I second the Plain white T... They should go with it all season.
My second vote is for "playground court."
Third vote: JJJ

Thank ya!
-
I vote triple J best game in along time. No hero ball.
-
Of the problematic 22 turnovers, the box score shows the only two players without a turnover were Wally (2 minutes) and... JJJ.
-
JJJ for the win, improved desicion making, Fischer very close second
-
JJJ
-
Absolutely JJJ.
Played aggressive yet within himself. Really great game. If we can get that type of play out of him more this season, we will be a lot better team.
-
Jujuan for sure. We'll need him this season. I think he'll be our X factor this year.
-
Js for days.

Smarten up and start paying attention. :o
-
Close the polls - JJJ in a landslide!
-
JJJ
Those free throws were everything.
He is beginning to show what he was recruited for! Go get 'em Jujuan
-
Fisher. 19-8, and was a big presence down low all game. Aggressive, and didn't foul out even though he played the last few minutes with 4 fouls.
-
Jajuan hitting the FTs sealed it, but The Engine had a great game too. Turnovers are why he didn't get my vote, but that's the best point play we've seen all season. That position should now be his.

I feel much more comfortable letting The Engine learn the college game than Cheatham learn the game and the position. At least as the starter playing the most minutes there. With some coaching (of Carter and the others to give him an outlet), he can limit those press turnovers. Believe he was 9 assists and 0 TOs when in the half court. And he won't go 1-5 from the field and 1-4 from the line once he settles in and gets a few SWAC defenses against him to gain confidence.

This is tough for me. I was at the game and 100% agree Fischer was the stud - Wojo trusted him for 35 min of game time (and probably would have been 40 if not for foul problems).
JJJ came up big in crunch time, and played well, but sat on the bench for nearly a half - I guess credit to him for playing efficient. But seems to be the scoop favorite.
Screw it, I have to go with my gut, especially after typing it out.

Yep....if we wait 20 more seconds and then give up a basket, we may not have a chance to retake the lead.
Would Marquette have gotten a better look at the basket after 20 seconds of stall ball? We were only up 1 so LSU would have had a chance to tie/win unless we got a 3 there.
SOTG? JJJ

Apparently The People's Republic of Scoop is a dictatorship.

Don't you forget it!

Luke deserves it but JJJ absolutely wanted the ball in crunch time. We were missing someone like that for the first three games. Maybe he's our clutch player? Never thought I would say that.
-
First SOTG I've ever throughly disagreed with. Oh well.
-
JJ played a great game but Fisher played his heart out on both ends. He deserves it.
-
JJJ. Huge win!
-
ESPN just called. We're gonna need to change it to Ben Simmons.

Hey, we're all just pleased that we get to argue about it this morning topper.
-
I'd have gone with JJJ. Loved his aggressiveness all night, and loved loved loved that he stepped up and hit the free throws.
But absolutely no problem with Luke. He's become a very good college center, and he had a superb game. I love the way he grabs the rebound and passes quickly to get the break started, often releasing the ball before he even hits the floor.
-
This ridiculous snub will simply motivate Trey-J to play even better tonight.
-

I am with you on that. He did want it and didn't settle late in the game. That is huge.
-
JJ. But Luke is up there too.
-
Luke and JJ were the studs. Thought Luke did a great job getting in position for rebounds. Hope he stays out of foul trouble tonight.

One note I forgot to add, sat around a bunch of the NBA scouts, and along with the usual suspects, were taking plenty of notes on Luke.
-
Luke had a great game, but it would not of matter if JJJ did not make those two free throws. Besides that JJJ scored on a drive after he got hit in the nose. He did not shoot the free throw, because his nose was bleeding. He showed me the toughness I did not know he had.

It seems like the big difference this year is that Wojo trusts JJJ to play through his challenges, whereas Buzz pulled him right away last year. He really is a confidence-based player, and the more floor he sees the better he seems to get.
-
JJJ - this is an abomination! (Probably didn't have a pic of JJJ, I mean, what were the odds!?!)
-
When Luke went out for four minutes with his foul trouble, MU held and built its lead from 6 to 7, with JJJ taking control with points, steals and rebounds. Luke subbed back in for JJJ, and MU lost their cushion immediately until JJJ was put back in and then he won it at the end.
My bigger question after Iowa was why JJJ sat to start against LSU? I thought he was the only one who played decently vs. Iowa. Things are different behind closed doors, I know.

JJJ played just 23 minutes, for 6th most on the team. Your example isn't the entire picture.

I think JJJ has been so ineffective the past 2 years because his game hasn't matched the team's style. Marquette has played such a slow half court offense the last couple years, and JJJ absolutely shines in the transition game. He's fast, agile and has a lot of great moves when he catches defenses on their heels. If he were to transfer to the likes of UNLV, we would see him play like this more often.
-

And in those 23 minutes, he scored 16 points, 4-6 on twos, 2-4 on threes, 2-2 on FT's to clinch, 5 DR's (same as Luke in 35 minutes ), 3 assists, only 1 TO, 1 block, 2 steals. A 137 ORtg. Incredibly efficient on both ends, unlike the rest of the team.
Luke played great. Absolutely essential. JJJ was the finisher, though, even though his coach didn't let him be the starter.

If Greg F*cking Stiemsma can get an NBA game, Luke sure as hell can.

Buzz didn't pull him right away last year - he was coaching at Virginia Tech. Wojo coached JJJ last year.

Forgot to mention had to play defense against perhaps the number one pick in the draft as well.

95% vote for JJJ. Luke gets it.

You mean the guy who went for 21 and 20? I think I overheard the announcers mention hm once or twice :)
Tough match up for Luke and Henry. Wojo tried to make a late adjustment on Simmons to have the guards disrupt his dribble drive at the free throw line. I thought it came a bit late, but MU was also focused on Blakeney, who was the 16th highest rated recruit, and LSU's leading scorer coming in, shooting 47% from the treyland. MU held him to an 0-fer 6 from behind the arc. I thought that deserved a mention...kudos to Sandy and JJJ primarily.

Defense on Simmons was great imho. Shot 42% from the field despite only sitting within 10ft of the rim. Shot 62% in his first the games. He just shot a lot

+1, last season is blocked from memory.

What's the point in this if just about everyone votes for the guy who doesn't win?
Lol

We should all refuse to vote after tonight's win.

I don't recall Rocky ever actually asking for anyone's opinion.
