I disagree - one bad play can't rule out an otherwise great 40 minutes.

I don't know if Lockett played a *great* 40 min.  And situational awareness should, count.  You don't foul a 3 pt shot down 3 in the least few seconds.  

[brewcity77]

And Lockett's rebound on the third FT sealed the game. He's my vote.

Silly, he caused those free throws!

Exactly.  It's your poll - you *can* DQ Lockett, you know  

Silly, he caused those free throws! Ok, You can all vote for him, but unless another mod beats me to it, he can't win SOTG.

GOOD!!! Thank you!!

Jamil. His jumpers in the 2nd half were HUGE. A close second to Vander, Davante and Lockett.

[RushmoreAcademy]

Lockett can't win after that play unless he has a run away game otherwise.  I vote Vander for the big first half.

[Jay Bee]

LOCKETT!

[tower912]

I voted Gardner but could live with Blue or JWilson.   

[The Process]

LOCKETT!

Feel free to throw your vote away, Jay

[AirPunches]

Gardner, Jamil, Lockett, and Blue in that order. But it is very close and there is a case to be made for all of them.

[MU86NC]

LOCKETT!

What game did you watch....

I think it's has to be Gardner, Lockett's foul was unbelievable and Blue had two bad TO's in the last 2 minutes. I will say that was Lokett's best game of the year, up until that foul he played he'll of a game.

Why does everyone harp on Jr's TOs and Lockett's foul, but give Gardner a free pass on horrible defense.  The last few games he hasn't rotated for help D, is late getting down the floor (gave them 5 points by my count today). 

I realize he is great on Offense and a hell of a FT shooter, but we won this game on D.

Because he scores.  He is terrible on defense...a little better than last year but still not good at all.

[Skatastrophy]

I can't believe so many voted for Lockett.  He made the most boneheaded play of the game.  Nothing he did can make up for trying to give GTown the game on a silver platter.

Ox was a beast, again.  SOTG.

I think Gardner has played better defense that O'Tule as of late. (UConn and GTown Games)  Watching Ox hedge on the ball screens, he usually pushes the ball handler back towards half court whereas O'Tule kind of half-ass shows help and allows for more open looks off the screen.

I think in the LSU or Badger game the commentators even commented on how active Gardner was on Defense...I think he's getting much better and more active.


Back to the topic...I vote Ox

Against LSU and UW, he was fine, the last two games have been dreadful.  I'm sorry but Defense is half the game, and if you are terrible on D, you can't get a SOTG.

[avid1010]

ban anyone who votes lockett...a senior, fouling a 3pt shooter, after the realease.  he's lucky the 3rd freethrow (thanks buzz)...let alone the 3pt shoot itself.  he's as good as anyone on mu at turning his back to his man, and the shooter never even should have had that look as lockett didn't show help...just got caught in limbo and lost his man...which accounted for his pathetic close-out.

[tower912]

Forgetful, it can't be Lockett because of the boneheaded play at the end.   It can't be Blue because he did nothing in the second half and made an idiotic charge at the end.   It can't be JWilson, because he was passive on offense the entire first half and the last 5 minutes of the game.   It can't be Ox because of erratic defense and FT shooting down the stretch.    Nobody played an error free, complete game.   Ya gotta pick somebody.

I vote Lockett, they all screwed up, as you sum up nicely.  But Lockett played great D, except for one play, had a key block, and nearly put up a double double.  His rebounding is a key reason we won the game.

Lockett, then Wilson (D and rebounding) then distantly Blue, Gardner/Junior.

[UticaBusBarn]

Gardner, in the clutch, made two foul shots.

In the clutch Lockett's three shot foul almost cost the Warriors the game at the end. Blue, in the clutch, turned the ball over on a set play coming out of time out.

Gardner won the game, while Lockett and Blue almost lost it.

Regardless, a great (albeit ugly) game. Compliments to the Warriors for a big, big team win.

he D is fine, and he hustles down the court.  hard to know what buzz is telling him regarding crashing the offensive boards, and what mu's transition D is supposed to be doing.  he had 7 rebounds, and created a lot of other rebounds for teamates with good box-outs and amazing hands.  he doesn't loose his man on D...and that's more than can be said for lockett.  

[Badgerhater]

Will all people who have never committed a bad foul in a Division 1 basketball game please raise their hands.

Now those of you with your hands raised.....put them down if you never played D1 hoops.

You must have been watching a different game then.

As for not losing your man.  True, but he has responsibilities in help D that he does not fulfill at all.
