SOTG

[bilsu]

FJO had 3 or 4 drives where he was just physically dominate. However, he does half of what Crowder does on the court.

It has to be Jae.  He was collecting big rebounds and had his hands in the way of key passes.... I don't think I felt a moment of relief in that game until Jae hit that three to put us up 6.
And while not a SOTG, Gardner's buckets late were arguably the biggest.

He hit that 3 immediately after he took the charge.  That sequence was what sealed it.  (And I think Murray had a beef on that charge call though.)

I'm voting Jae but that takes nothing away from the great game both DJO and Junior had.  All three upperclassmen understood that they 'needed' to play more basketball together as a team.  Each had huge contributions to the game.  

Let's remember that when basketball finally ends for 2011-12, this becomes Junior's team.  He earned that field promotion stripe last night.

Junior ran the show, kept giving DJO and Jae the opps to score when things were not falling. He drove the lane, dished, scored, dove for steals.  3 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and only one turnover in 37 minutes of basically handling the ball multiple times on every possession.  The props he got from the Seniors in the post-game presser seal the deal.

Junior. THE Point Guard. Marquette.

Disagree with that. Was Jae still moving? Absolutely. But his position near the basket was established, and when the offensive player deliberately lowers his shoulder and drives into the defender, he's the one that's committing a foul. The same thing happened in the first half, can't remember who was defending, but it was incorrectly called a block on Marquette.

That's one of the rules officials are very inconsistent on, but once you lower the shoulder and drive into the defending player, it should be a foul every single time.

This.

Agree completely.  It was a charge, an obvious one.  They did not have a beef with that call.

I loved DJO's four step to the basket to end the half. I'd give it to Gardner for playing on one leg. His points were pretty much the difference.
