Sacar. Biggest glue guy in college basketball.

By the way, Morrow has a little Bob Jackson in him

Agree on both points.

[rocket surgeon]

both hausers were solid, BUT gotta go with sacar.  if he has an ordinary game or less, we struggle a little more

[MU82]

I'm going with Joey.  Sacar and Sam are both worthy, but I think this is a huge game for Joey to get his confidence back.

If giving Joey SOTG would guarantee he played like this every game, I think every Scooper would join the Joey chorus. But just as me doing a lot of Scoopin' about Nova didn't keep the Warriors from beating the Friars, Joey's status in the SOTG sweepstakes won't affect him one iota going forward. Hard to believe, I know, but it's true.

So while I'm thrilled Joey's back, he's no better than third choice for our illustrious award.

Usually, it's either been Markus by a mile or Markus and another Warrior in a battle for SOTG, so it's weird to not have Markus figure in at all. But he doesn't this time, as gritty as his performance was.

This one is Sacar or Sam, Sam or Sacar.

Sam was money from 3, played stout interior D and battled on the boards. Sacar was dynamic offensively, had a couple of absolutely gorgeous assists and played hellish D.

Apparently Kenpom says it's Sam, so that clinches it for me:

It's Sacar!

Sacar! Sam had a bad first half with some turnovers/bad passes.

Wait, Why Dave?  Stephanie donated half the genes and 100% of the work during gestation.

Exactly.... if anyone's the mvp, it's her!

So now we got some Scoopers choosing SOTG based on what Tony Smith or KenPom say?

I always post my choice before I look at the box score or other stats, and before I see who others are choosing. The GooooMarquette eye test.

Have enough tooth docs, glad to have an eye doc on board !

"The strength of our team is our team."

If MU plays that way with a 100% Markus, look out.

I'm in the Sacar/Sam camps for all the reasons stated.  In the end, Sacar with the edge.

Since, I was the one who brought up Tony Smith, he picked Sam. I picked Sacar.

I stand corrected. And you are right about Sacar!

[drewm88]

Sam

[Afroman]

This is probably the toughest one of the season, but I'm going with Sacar.

[TSmith34, Inc.]

Sam. KPom agrees

Does KenPom attempt to calculate in defense?

Really nice effort by Ed today when Theo had a very meh game.  Thought Ed's defense was much improved.

The twosome of Theo and Ed have turned into a solid weapon inside. Far less drop-off than earlier in the season.

No kidding. Dave only needed to be there during the fun part.

I also post before looking at the box score.

Box score says Sam. My eyes said Sacar.

Incidentally, Sacar is starting to remind me of one of my faves from the 70's - Walter Davis from UNC who could be counted on for 15/5 every game. Not quite at that level yet, but getting better

[Class71]

Sacar offense 1H, defense the whole game. Sam for 13 and 18 and leadership. Can not choose between the two.
