SOTG

Harry Frickin' Froling.  MU loses without his threes as they took the lead back. Actually tired out Govan running after him who was gassed the rest of the game.

I agree with this, but he will not win this vote.
I will go with Rousey over Sam, because I always lean to the player that steps up and hits the game clinching free throws.

[DoggyDaddy]

Geez was I love Sam! The Washington Post was effusive in praise of his shots "with a calm that bordered on nonchalance." But Drew gets the close nod for the steady ball handling, 10 assists, and taking control in OT. He has to distribute for MU to win and this a lesson for Creighton and beyound.
Kudo's for Harry: take those threes when your open, big fella!

If Joey is as good as Sam is by his Sophomore year we're going to be darn good.

And if Joey is as good as Sam was as a frosh, we're going to be darn good next year.

MU would've won the game in regulation had Rowsey done something you're taught to do in the first organized basketball practice you'll ever attend (so 4th grade?)...stop the ball.  And it would've come on Sam's unbelievably clutch shot.

Sam.  So smart, so efficient, so fundamental.

True, but Mulmore is lightening quick so had AR tried to cut him off it would have absolutely resulted in a foul and if he makes both free throws were without AR for OT.

[CTWarrior]

Sam my choice for more consistent performance and efficiency.  Rowsey very worthy as well.

Rowsey ended with 3 fouls, so don't think that is the case.

OK Wojo No Worries.

[SaveOD238]

This post was with regards to Froling.  I tend to agree that without Froling we don't win yesterday, but he definitely wasnt the Stud of the Game.

Mods...what about adding another award?  If there's a SOTG for best overall player, can we also have a "clutch performer" or "6th man" award for the player who made a few contributions at key moments that were massive.  Greg hasn't won SOTG all season but would have a ton of these.  Jamal, Sacar, Heldt, John, and Froling too.

Love that quote about Sam. Perfect description. His smooth and nonchalance on the court is special.

Big score for Wojo to prioritize and land San, and subsequently Joey.

Sam needs a new Scoop nickname.  He is the Fred Astaire of the Court.

Something tells me that's not going to be a popular one in the locker room... I think I've seen Sammy Splash references elsewhere. Seems more appropriate for a 20 year old kid (in 2018)

Agree. The existing Big Smooth nickname certainly applies. Cerebral Sam. Samtastic. Samsational. Lots of options.

SPLASH is his high school name so that is not going to get it done.  Macallan Smooth?

I like where you're going with that one

Sam was robbed of this one. Rowsey was great, but Sam was better.

2 in a row now (St. John's)

Sam should have never signed that compensation deal where his bonus was based on the number of times he made SOTG.

Is it possible to be robbed of something that has no value or meaning, and which you don't even know about?

You forgot the "Eat at Arby's"

[muwarrior69]

Starting with the Creighton game and if we should win all SOTG threads going forward should be a poll thread.; but then we are in the peoples republic of scoop where our dear leader decides.

Word is, Alex Jones just ranted about the conspiracy against Sam on InfoWars.

Last year, the conspiracy was against JJJ.

Which proves that the mods hate white players and black players, forwards and guards, tall guys and less-tall guys, etc.

Especially etc.!

Hold on -- Ners is actually Alex Jones???   I mean, that would explain a lot of things.
