SOTG

[GooooMarquette]

Matt.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

He literally sat with the ball at the top of the key and on the wing by our bench 3 possessions in a row.

1 of which Luke gave the most priceless rattled face and quickly ran to set a screen to try something....Derrick just dropped it back to Juan who had to toss up a Kobe 3 as the clock went down.

He had to lay up attempts that we just outrageous...luckily one of them was one of Juans few nice plays of the day and he got a bucket out of it.

As annoying as Ners is with his blind Derrick bashing...you rival it on the obnoxious sticking up for him. It's ok for the guy to have a bad game once in a while, really not the end of the world. And he probably won't even know you admitted it!!!!

I do, when he has a bad game. 6 points, 3 boards, 5 assists, 3 steals, 1 block, 2 turnovers, 1 foul (that was actually his 4th steal), 2-3 3P. Compare that with what his teammates did this game. He manages that stat line, in a game where the team as a whole played terrible, I am very happy.

He actually had 2 blocks but they gave one of his to Juan. Also took a big charge. He was clearly the best defensive player on the floor, made 2 threes and had 5 of our 13 assists (39%). 8 guys played - 5 of them played like crap, 3 didn't. Derrick was one of the three.

Carlino won the game and should be the SOTG!

[jsglow]

Only 3 guys came to play.  None were perfect.  Carlino.  Two great shots when it counted most.

Nobody should be a STOG.

Geez, if that's my stud, I'd hate to see the offspring.

The game was terrible. We never should have let them get close. We played half asleep on offense most of the game and it seemed as if Wojo was trying to get them to drive the basket. We were fortunate that the 3s hit, otherwise it would have been a disaster.

It's a learning experienec this year, that's for sure. Would someone PLEASE teach Luke to avoid the ticky tack crap -- or at least hide it!

[willie warrior]

That's Willie's new motto

Sorry pal. He is a good player, but also a chucker. You can be both. Ever watch Nate Robinson?

So the guy who shoots the third most on the team and leads the team in assists is a chucker? You have a unique definition.

You may not have liked the team play but Carlino's performance was definitely stud-like

Per the mods, we have a stud when we win, and no stud when we don't win.

Personally, I have seen some pretty studly performances during games that were losses, but them's the rules.

Always figured you shot from the hip TAMU. Third most on the team? He leads the team in shots--not even close. You have a unique definition of "shoots third most on the team". But then again, you should never let facts get in the way of your exalted opinion.

[Loose Cannon]

Man, I hope  bickering like this is going on in the Locker room.

TAMU I'm sure is talking about percentage of shots taken, which is a more meaningful statistic in terms of how much a guy actually shoots. When Matt is on the court, he takes 23.0% of the shots for Marquette. That's third behind Jajuan (27.0%) and Duane (23.4%). If they played equal minutes, Carlino would not lead the team in shots taken. But because Matt plays 4 mpg more than Duane and 10 minutes more than Jajuan, he has taken more total shots.

Oh OK, slice the stats anyway you want to. That is not what he said. Next the excuse will be that he was talking about the last game. The fact is he has "chucked" the most shots. Doesn't matter--he is a good player.

Brew described exactly what I was referring to. You knew this too. Or at least should have. The stat has been used in response to your chucker label for Carlino before.

You see but you do not observe
