SOTG

Looks like the decision's been made.  Nice to have these kind of disagreements.

I would give it to Jae BECAUSE of the throat slash move. Louisville is or should be in everyone's top three most hated teams we play on an annual basis. I loved it, laughed hysterically when they showed it and rewound it about 10 times to watch it again. He's ana emotional guy, and Louisville has broken our hearts a ton of times over the years. He just hit a shot to put us up 16 and remove all doubt. Plus ithis just addsfor more fuel to an already intenses and heated rivalry. It goes in the pantheon of Buzz walking it out, them coming back from 18 in 5 last year, Jerry Smith's prayer bomb, etc. Love it.

right with you on this. +2

Just got home - looks like the polls are closed. Loved DG's big offensive plays, but Jae was the man at both ends. Heart and soul of the team today. FWIW, Homer and Mac agreed.

I'm still saying split it...but that said, it was GREAT to see someone on this team show that kind of emotion today (even though I thought it was a stupid gesture to make). Also, Gardner and Crowder are starting to create a nice 1-2 punch on the inside for us.

Just noticed the "Top of the class in sportmanship" tag under Davante's picture. Guess Crowder was eliminated because of the "T". Silly, IMHO.

Silly and completely unnecessary.  You can name DG the "stud" without giving Jae a backhanded reprimand.

I didn't go through this thread to add up the votes, but the SOTG poll thread has been open for a lot longer than this one in the past. Seems the mods agreed that Jae's T cost him any shot at it.

Just sayin'

Gardner pounds his chest and flexes in opponents' faces all the time and screams And1 as much as anyone on the team. Don't get me wrong I LOVE it, but he gets a pass while everyone else gets ripped on for similar things.

Just got done watching the game after successfully avoiding the score all day. My vote would have gone to Jae. Had a decent game throughout, but he was immense late when it came to winning possessions. I know, 5 TOs sucks, but 6 steals and an assist make up for it. And he fouled Dieng out, no matter how ticky-tack that one was.

Can't complain too much about DG, though DJO could've got it, and I even could have seen an argument for Mayo and his 3/4 from deep off the bench. All around good game for us.

[Lighthouse 84]

As I went through this thread, at the time Ox was named SOTG for the Looserville game, Jae had 15 votes, DG had 12 votes, two wanted to split the vote and there was one vote for Buzz.  At the end, Jae had 19 votes for SOTG and DG still had 12. I'm not counting those like HaywardsHeroes and others with multiple posts.  

Now, maybe it's me.  Maybe I'm a little f-d up maybe.  But I'm just trying to understand the process.  Is it a vote among those who chime in or up to a mod(s) to decide regardless of what the masses say?

SOTG is not a democracy.  The mods chose who they want based upon our input.

[Lennys Tap]

Voting for Crowder was the equivalent of writing in "Warriors" in MU's pick the nickname contest. His votes were not considered, I guess because the mods felt he was out of line with his end of game gesture.

JC was also chosen quickly after the last game.  It's the mods discretion.....sometimes that is best. 

Anyhow, Gardner might just lead the team in SOTG this year as just a SOPH.....over the likes of DJO and Jae! Who would've thought that possible before he stepped on campus?  I can't wait to see the big fella the rest of his 2+ years here!

My vote went to DG.  Looked like Bob Lanier out there yesterday.  Of course he's limited on the high ball screen.  Buzz is learning how to harness his skills.  Man he was awesome in and around the offensive paint.

. Great analogy.
