All the players mentioned in this thread have a case. Cliche warning but Theo played like a senior. Was impressed with his poise and thought he prevented a lot of easy St John’s baskets (and 5-5 from the line was huge). He has my vote.

All of this.

Can't be Greg because of how he inbounds the ball against a press.   Played well otherwise, but that DQ'd him in my mind

All of the others had stretches where they deserved it.   Justin.   Theo.   DJ.   

DJ because of how bad MU was against the press when he sat.

Whoa! Who decided to play Lewis at the end instead of Garcia?
Yup, but the nojos will willfully ignore

Theo. Clutch FTs and defense down the stretch and no dumb turnovers that I recall.

Most of our wins, SOtG has been pretty obvious, a couple there were two legit choices. This one, everybody who played had some very good moments - and some real head-scratchin' moments.

I'm 51/49 with DJ over Theo.

DJ: Whenever he sat, we had trouble initiating the offense. Made a huge floater down the stretch. Knocked down a big 3. Got 5 rebs and 3 steals. Oh ... and his one-handed jam/steal/two-handed thunder-jam spree might have been the most exciting 30-second stretch of Marquette basketball this season.

Theo: Just a man out there. Blocked the attempted tying shot and 2 others, and intimidated throughout. 6 boards and 2 assists. 5-5 from the line, every one of them a swish. Took no crapola from anyone.

Having said that, I'd have no problem with Lewis or Elliott.

And though he didn't have a great game, let's not forget Koby hitting a very Vanderish winning bucket.

DJ: His two dunks slowed the Johnnies run out of the locker room. Then Wojo reinserted him a little before the 8 minute media time out with MU down 2. MU quickly regained the lead and never lost it after that. He was a +4 for the game.  Theo is close but he was a -4, not so much on him but because MU was getting tagged with DJ sitting.

I might add, DJ also had 5 boards and 3 steals. Theo a close 2nd. KPom says JFL, though.

Actually, we just about always do know. I rarely have issues with the effort these young men exhibit.

Our guys don’t always play well, but they play hard game in and game out

MU82 and the good Doctor make a pretty good case for DJ since we would have been DOA without him due to lack of ballhandlers but I would say Theo for the time played without fouling out, FTs, and the game saving block. I also don't think Greg should get all the blame for his inbounding but whatevs. For those of you that disagree with me...

Theo. Was a very stabilizing force down low, and provided much needed toughness on the defensive end.  Made big FTs when we needed them.

I’ve read this about four times from you Tower. That press break sucks. That is on Wojo. You are killing GE.
He wasn’t given anything to work with on those inbounds. I understand that it’s difficult for you to give Wojo any blame at all, but inbounds plays both offensively and defensively, and press breaks are terrible.
We run the same oob plays on our 5th grade girls team. Not kidding.

I'm with you. Everybody who follows basketball at all knew exactly what was coming. The lack of preparation was obvious, and inexcusable. I'm not a 100% Nojo (90%?) but I have the distinct impression that he will never be a great, or even very good, college basketball coach.

No Elliott somehow denied García to do the inbound. He does a good job normally plus his size, Greg was making really terrible dumb choices. Best is García inbounding passing to guards and running near center court to be a pass option or screen for the guards.

Perhaps the coach could decide who should take the ball out of bounds—you know by coaching...just a thought.
Garcia wouldn’t pass to the first open look, and I don’t think he’s best either.
