SOTG

[PGsHeroes32]

I'm a contrarian by nature but MANY here have bemoaned Luke's ability to stay out of foul trouble.  He  not only stayed out of foul trouble but dictated what happened on both ends.  He gets my SoG vote.

JJJ was awesome - i particularly loved how he controlled himself after getting too aggressive and reaching for steals in the first half.  No doubt a great game.

If I were to have JJJ's game ore Luke's game against Michigan........I'll take Luke's.


Great all around game from Wojo on down - even lots of coachable opportunities.

addition: i was behind on the post game interview to get the kids to bed, but he also got the 'Northwestern Mutual Player of the Game'.  So i'm validated!  (by some arbitrary reference)

Huh?

I'm willing to bet if JJJ has this exact stat line every single game. We lose very minimal amount of games even to teams like Nova.

Dude was 9/13 and had like 6 steals.

[WarriorFan]

Traci - for running the point effectively.  7 points, 5 ast, 0 to.  Exactly what we need from him, and in a game he didn't start.

Honorable mention to JJJ for being incredible and Luke for 32 minutes of work.

Again - not knocking JJJ's game at all, he was awesome.  But you could say the same thing about Luke's line.

I agree with you about the a Michigan game. The reason for this is we cannot really expect someone else having an impact game at the center position. JJJ's production could be replaced by another player.

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

Wojo's mind games for SOTG!

[jsglow]

JjJ.

Honorable mention to Fisch.

And how 'bout the young Steve Novak (Sammy)?

[brandx]

Again - not knocking JJJ's game at all, he was awesome.  But you could say the same thing about Luke's line.

I chose jjjjj for the SOTG, but have no problem with it being Luke, as well.

[MattyWarrior]

Triple J, in less minutes than Fishy

[Newsdreams]

LUke because he was the 1st half...

[DUNKS45]

You can't go wrong with either jjj or Luke. I give it to jjj. Loved the intensity tonight.

[dgies9156]

Big Fischy.

Stayed out of foul trouble. God love him!

More nights like this and the Fish will be a contender for Big East POY.

[wadesworld]

Win as a team lose as a team.  Team game.  MU for SOTG.

JJJ's production could be replaced by another player.

I was thinking that too. Some nights it could be Cheatham, Reinhardt, Hauser, Rowsey, practically the entire list of perimeter guys. Fischer's contribution is almost impossible to replace.

[MU82]

Loved Fischer's game tonight and said so often as I watched. But JJJ set the tone ... beginning to middle to end.

Steals, rebs, drives, 3s. Looked like a man among boys.

Well sure.  But we are talking about the SOTG.  Not the season MVP.

I would argue (although not vehemently) that JJJ was better than Luke tonight.

[fjm]

Luke was SOTG. He played his position basically by himself. Heldt foul trouble early.

[muwarrior69]

CBS name Fischer the player of the game.

[jsglow]

Fisch played an outstanding game and would be stud worthy any other night.

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

Never been a big fan of fischer.  But he was really good tonite.

Jjj was great but id have to go fisher

[Silkk the Shaka]

Jajuannaman.

Complete game. Looked calm but surgically destroyed Vandy. Exactly what I wanted to see out of him tonight but on a much higher level. His instincts are awesome, and he has the skill to match now. Haven't enjoyed watching a player's game progress this much in a while. He obviously put in a ton of work and it paid off. Really happy for the guy!

[keefe]

luke

[mugrack]

NBA JJ

[Marqus Howard]

Luke. He was our best player in the first half, and we really needed him as a result of Heldt's early fouls.

JJJ was great but it seemed like several of his steals were thrown right to him by Vanderbilt (he only gets the easy steals).

[TVDirector]

Luke
Had to play well on both ends-
Kept Kornet from taking over
Needed to excel as Heldt played more like a goofy frosh than I expect don't hoped. 

JJJJ was a beast

[brewcity77]

JJJ was great but it seemed like several of his steals were thrown right to him by Vanderbilt (he only gets the easy steals).

I know this is in jest, but at least two steals it seemed like the pass had to be intended for him. Vandy didn't do themselves a lot of favors.
