Blue with 5 steals

Not taking many shots....overall he is 5/9 from 2, 1/2 from 3.

Luke Winn's tweet:Vander Blue is everywhere vs. ARG. Steals, great open-floor passes, slick pull-up Js. He, DJO + Cadougan are gonna make a great Marq bkcourt

Qunicy Miller hit a 3 with an assist from Blue for the win.  (I believe)

Was Vander the only non-mcdonals's all american on the team?   Earning a starting spot and equally impressively being in the game in crunch time says alot about this kids abilities.
