SOTG

Just wondering, but how many points did Jae have off of Vander's 7 assists and 4 steals?

You guys make me chuckle. You really vote vander? Seriously? Good grief.

I voted Vander.   He was everywhere early when nothing else was working.   He was the most active player on the floor and led.   Jae got hot in the second half, but Blue had a better all around game.

I voted Jae.  That said, VB played a great game doing exactly what Buzz asked him to do. 

Kudos also to Juan who in 5 minutes of work at the end was 'first to the floor' 3-4 times.  Great hustle kid.  Buzz was half way across the court applauding your effort.  That's how you'll earn some minutes this year.

Jae for one reason

Swagger - seriously think of all the yelling that would be going on if he and Lazar could have played together.

Really?  Swagger?  Against Jacksonville?

The one thing I can't stand about Jae is his yelling "AND ONE" after every contested shot.  Its stupid, childish, and will probably get him in trouble at least once this year again.

Homer and George gave Vander the Cyganiak Planning Player of the Game award on the radio postgame, FWIW.  I totally agree...when Vander plays that kind of game it really helps the team excel.

Could you not stand it when Jimmy B & Lazar did it either?

Jae does it 100% of the time down low.  The other two were hit and miss.

Then go DJO. He had 19 pts(way more than Vans 3), he had 5 of each assists and rebounds, which is his goal for the year. Only 1 TO and had 11 pts in the 1st half when the rest of the team was pretty poor.

I would, but I plead my case against Jay, and Vander is still second, and DJO is a distant 3rd.  The people have spoken, Jae is the SOTG.

Boooooooooooo!

Foolish majority!

So we have 3 legitimate candidates for SOTG (Jae, Van, DJ-Oh); We have Juan who hustled his butt off and is likely to get a little more playing time; We have a backup point guard singled out for only 2 TO's in an ungodly amt of minutes for a frosh; Jamil seems to be letting the game come to him and being more comfortable in the offense and a long athletic big that we can use to match up; Mayo destined to be an offensive force; JJ playing like a more confident part of the team; A starting point guard that gives our coach inner peace; And two dependable and serviceable bigs.

Things are alright in MU Nation

Agreed, it's good that there's even debates about who should be the "Stud", and even better that there are 2, 3, or 4 honorable mentions every game too.

I'll be honest, I voted for Jae prior to looking at the stats.  He was straight dominant for an extended period of time during the second half.  That really stuck with me.  Vander had some bone headed plays that also stuck with me.  Personally Vander's stats didn't provide the same impact to the game that Jae's did.
