SAM. But must mention JJJ ' s hustle and big contributions as well.

Hauser.  Nice games by JJ and Howard as well.

1.jjj had 16 points 9 boards 5 steals 3 assists and 1 blocked shot. He worked hard on rebounding and defense and without his intensity we would not have won. Yes it was ugly at times but he kept fighting on and never gave up

Apparently they gave jjj another rebound, so he had a double-double.

Hauser, but Johnson not that far behind.

[Stretchdeltsig]

Sam. 

Marcus was no.2.

I appreciated the efforts from JJ and Howard, but it has to be Sam. And that said...

Watching Sam the past month, he really reminds me of a young Doug McDermott. I know it's easy to make insane comparisons, but just look at their games. About the same size, both solid defensive rebounders, great three-point shooters who take smart shots, efficient inside and out, just an obvious great player. I understand that McDermott put up far gaudier numbers, but if Sam was playing on a middle-of-the-conference team in a mid-major like McDermott was as a freshman, don't you think he could be putting up 15/7? Say that he was playing for Missouri State, Green Bay, or another mid-major, wouldn't his stats look similar? I'm really excited to see what he will become. Howard as well, but man, I'm loving me some Sammy.

Shout out to Matt for playing like a bat out of Heldt!

Sam.

JJ and Markus honorable mention. Katin played better, still not to the level I had hoped.

I think that's a great comparison.  Sam has a ways to go on the defensive end (what Frosh doesn't) but the kid is an absolute natural.

2. Sam made the most of his opportunities on the road very impressive

The only thing surprising about your post is that you didn't have Deonte #2

[We R Final Four]

Matt Heldt--biggest game when we needed him the most.
16 min 4 pts 7 reb(4 off revs) only 3 fouls and was scrappy and smart when we needed it.
If MH came in and had a typical MH game with the foul trouble of others this would have gone down a different road. MH did enough to allow others to win this game.........and for that Matt you are the S.O.T.G. Take a bow.

[avid1010]

sam was clutch.  appreciate what jjj did...but 5-15 isn't sotg worthy given what sam did in crucial points of the game.

Wojo, for getting up in JjJ's grill at halftime.   

[ATL MU Warrior]

Sam's 6 point run in the 2nd half was a big time momentum changer and i believe sealed the victory.
