Stud of the game Cincy

Was that Norman Einstein referred to here?
Jae's game was all-around so i voted for him but would be happy with DJO and Blue in a triumvirate

You based your initial reasoning off the fact the team struggled without him. In reality the team struggled without both it's top two guys.

Fair enough, that is certainly how I phrased it. Bottom line is that I believe that Jae's 'steadiness' was a critical factor to the game. He gets my vote, with absolutely no disrespect to the rest of the team.

And that is a fair opinion both did play great.

My vote is for Jamil.  He was the guy that made the full court pressure defense work, and that's what turned the game.  Any of Jae, DJO or Jamil good choices.

[bilsu]

I voted for Jae. DJO was amazing, but he was playing against guards he was physically stronger than. Jae was playing against players that were bigger and stonger than Jae.

[MUMac]

Not trying to cop out, but I could not pick A stud today.  To me, it was an entire team effort.

Didn't get to see the game so didn't vote, but got to love Sultan's post about Van - the times, they are a changing.

I honestly can't think of a guy who played meaningful minutes that didn't comtribute.  In the end I voted Jae but both Seniors were outstanding.

Not sure that blue was included in the triumvirate. My guess is it was DJO, Jae, and Wilson. Not sure how 10 People voted for blue and 4 for jamil, he was awesome on both sides yet gets less votes. His defense and length with the press was great. That said vander is looking great lately.

When Blue was on the bench, MU struggled rebounding.  When he was in, he was active and if he did not get it, either kept it alive or needed to be accounted for.  That was a huge difference.

As I said, I thought it was a team effort.  If I had to chose from a gouping, it would be DJO and Jae.  All, though, really played well together and won as a team.

I voted for Jae but lots of love for all the J-Bros....DJO, Jamil, Junior

Don't forget Jamail. Nice game tonight.   

[Canadian Dimes]

I gotta go with Jae over DJO, both had great games and both scored 23, but Jae stuffed the stat sheet and led us also in rebounds and steals

[MU82]

Might have been best all-around team win of the year.

In addition to having a very nice stat line, Jae appeared to be just about everywhere, so he gets my vote by a slim margin over DJO and others.

Actually Vander led in rebounds and Jae was tied with Derrick in steals.

[MerrittsMustache]

If you look at the box score, you could make a case for someone else but if you watched and paid attention to the game, it's DJO. Without question.

Completely agree. Impressive game by many after the first four minutes.

[MUDPT]

Complete effort.

D Wilson had 3 steals and a rebound in 4 minutes.

Actually, not looking at the boxscore, I voted for Jae.  To me, he did everything out there yesterday.

Except guard his man.

As I stated a couple weeks ago, since BE play started Buzz has been turning up the pressure and letting Jae play "free safety" because he realized that Jae's D can be awful in the half-court set. Crowder has been a steals machine, no doubt, but don't let that fool you into thinking he's a good defender. Jae brings a TON to the court and MU would really struggle without him, but his defense is often brutal.

[brewcity77]

DJO gets my vote, though any of the starting five would be worthy shouts.

[GGGG]

Except guard his man.

And DJO does?  His defense was terrible in the half court yesterday.

[Henry Sugar]

I vote Jae.  He tracks the best statistically.  Interestingly enough, second best was Blue, who has now been net positive in every game but the ND game since

[muwarrior69]

What's taking so long. Pick one!

[BCHoopster]

DJO is a defensive liability.  He does not give a real effort on the D end.  But when gets the ball, the light turns on.  His D has improved from last year, but
seems to wonder a lot on D.  Mayo and Vander defend much better.

[DoggyDaddy]

Jae and let's move on.
