Luke for SOTG

[tower912]

No way on luke.. He had a good game but everyone that says luke is just remebering his last few games.  He played well but his defense was still shaky for stretches. 
Reinhardt was really good and is contributing in many ways including his defense. 

Rinehardt is the cleat sotg, thise voting for luke just feel sorry for him
Over the last 6-7 games kr n mh have been our two best players

No agenda here.

No agenda here.

Luke should really get SOTG now just to spite that comment.

No, just no.  I've been as hard on Luke as anyone around here, and I watched this game and thought, damn, Luke is dominating this game.  He dominated a guy that may be a lottery pick. 

He put up 18 pts, 8 rebounds and 6 blocks.  That's just insane. 

I joked that Rheinhardt should get SOTG just because he hasn't gotten one yet, and Rheinhardt had one of the finest games of an MU player in the last 3 years.  But, Luke still was head and shoulders the best player on the floor. 

That doesn't take anything away from KR's performance, just speaks to how great of a game Luke had.

[HutchwasClutch]

Hands down, it's Luke.  All those nice open looks Reinhardt got were courtesy of Creighton having to respect Fischer early.   Reinhardt was terrific too, he knocked them down, but Luke was great.  And his defense was fantastic too, saved a lot of points with his blocks.  And the block shots started early too, and kept coming.

Mo Watson.

Now that is just mean....but I still laughed at it.

Katin was great, but Fisch did everything well. Came out confident on offense, blocked some shots, grabbed some boards. Very impressive game.

Luke SOTG - no contest.  What he did today was special.  He has not played well in the BE and that hurts our team.  Today he played  with confidence and a level of intensity I haven't seen.  katlin had a very good game as well but we have other guys in his position that can as well.  Best win in some time!

It's not about "that can", it's about "who did" and KR was the stud today.  Don't get me wrong, Luke played great.  Hit the shots we were expecting all year and blocked some shots.

Katin

[HutchwasClutch]

Are people just looking to keep SOG tally tight at the top?  Feel bad Reinhardt hasn't won yet?

Fischer did his work in 7 less minutes than Reinhardt.  He was a beast on both ends.  Plus, Reinhardt's contributions were largely in the first half.  I think he scored all but three of his points in the first half.  Plus, Fischer's work down low early, opened things up for guys like Reinhardt. 

Reinhardt played excellent, but I don't see how SOG doesn't go to Fischer today.

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

Katin basically played point guard half the time.  7 assists n led us in scoring.  His defense is under appreciated n pkayed tge 4 most of the day.  Good game for luke but kaitin was much more valuable.  Again nothing against luke but i think voters are giving luke just a little more credit than he deserves because of it being a bounce back game fir him.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Would love to give it to Katin, he's been playing his heart out. But this one is a no brainer for Luke.

18 points, 8 boards, 6 blocks, 8/9 from the floor.

More importantly, he took Patton out of the game. Wojo said post game that they scouted Patton and knew he bit easily on shot fakes. Luke intentionally pump faked every time he went against Patton. Got him up in the air and got easy fouls against him. Won us the game. We don't win if Patton plays his normal 25 minutes.

Good observation about Fischer opening up things for Reinhardt in the first half, but look at the second half.  Every time Reinhardt touched the ball in the second half a Creighton big came out to double team him, hence opening it up for Fischer.  Teams make adjustments.

[MU1980]

My vote is for Harry Froling. Is that allowed? After a few practices going against Froling, Luke bounces back with arguably his best game at Marquette.

Since it can't really beat Froling, it has to be a CO-SOTG. In watching the game AND looking at the stats it has to be both. The blocks for Luke and the assists for Reinhart on top of their scoring means they both absolutely deserve it. 

[TSmith34, Inc.]

Again nothing against luke

There is this thing called the internet.  On it, things that you write stay around pretty much forever.  It turns out people can go back and look at things that you might have said previously on this internet thing.  And pretending that 90% of what you've previously said doesn't exist? Well...

[ducs]

Luke. Was the presence in the paint we been missing

[CTWarrior]

Fischer in a photo finish over Reinhardt.  Picking one over the other is splitting hairs.  They both had great statistical games, but Luke getting his opposite number in foul trouble was a key to the game that doesn't show up in the stats so he gets the slight edge.

[rocky_warrior]

Had to go with Luke.  His stats are studly enough to get it 18 pts, 8 reb, 6 blk!, 3 ast!, 1 stl.  But as mentioned, the stat that doesn't show up is limiting Patton to only 19 min.  That was a huge part of the game.

If it weren't for Luke's work against Patton, this would have been an easy call for KR.  Maybe next time Katin...

[brewcity77]

I'd say Katin being the key in beating both the press and the 1-3-1 was just as important as that, but Luke is a totally fair choice. He was excellent yesterday, and most notable that he did so against the on-paper best center in the league.

[Loose Cannon]

As Long as we have a SOTG selection after the Game I'm Happy.

And somewhere in the world, Sand-Knit is off kicking puppies.

[PGsHeroes32]

It's gotta be Luke.

That was a dream game out of him.

But without an agenda.

Fish and Renhardt. Both were keys to the game.  Double win!
