Texas Western SOTG

Markus. Helped us gut out a win we had to have.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Right. I love Sam. But tonight was not pretty.

I agree....but can we appreciate though that in a "not pretty" night Sam scored 8 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, and dished 4 assists? Also had a steal and a block.

Joey. Had some key baskets inside of 5 mins.

Markus but not for the usual reason. He was on Evan Gilyard tonight. Gilyard averages 19 points a game with 46% three point shooting. He held him to 10 points on 4/15 shooting including 1/8 from deep. Add in the 21 points and some fancy assists and he's the stud.

Shout outs to Sacar and Joey.

You may want to watch a replay and observe closely. I am watching the replay right now.  The game plan was Sacar on Gilyard from the opening tip and he guarded him 85% of the time. When Sacar went to the bench Chartouney guarded Gilyard.  Markus ended up on Gilyard a few times when Chartouney got lost on defense and could not find his man.  Markus was on Hawkins or McGee (the 2 small point guards) all night.

Noticed this last year as well, there are times like last night when Sam puts an unnatural amount of arc on his 3P shot.  Last night he was throwing up rainbows.

Joey for SOTG by a hair over Markus.

Sacar.

[tower912]

Joey had too many freshman moments.  Agree with the sentiment that Sacar was the only one who didn't piss me off.

[NCMUFan]

Sacar or Joey

Sacar

Joey in a nose over Sacar.  The former would have been an easy choice for me without the missed front end FTs.

[brewcity77]

More thought, especially the defensive side, and I'm on the Sacar bandwagon. He was efficient, didn't turn it over, and held Gilyard to one of his worst outings of the season.

Sacar had a great game. Timely buckets, consistent all night. Should have been guarding Lathon down the stretch, no idea why Markus was on him. Because of that he wasn't a huge factor in the last 5/6 minutes but I'd still have him as SOTG.

Sacar for his drives and defense

After more reflection overnight, I concur. Markus had the points, but Sacar brought it on both ends.

That's what I get for relying on the eye test while at the game. In that case I might slide Sacar above Markus.

Already amended and will take my 50 lashes with a wet noodle. Was at the game and I always feel like I get a less clear picture being at the game live than watching at home. Markus was on Gilyard a few times and those happened to be the times I was watching and thought that good defense was being played on him. Probably because I expect good D from Sacar and not from Markus so it stuck out more.
