KState SOTG

[Elonsmusk]

Kam - Scored the last 6 points of the game for MU.  Kam made a three with 5:40 left to put us up 61-54 and then we went scoreless for 5 minutes until Kam hit another 3 with 33 seconds left to put us up 64-60.

Honorable Mention - JLew.  Great all around game.

[MU82]

We have nominations for Greg for a nice little stretch ... for Kam for a nice little stretch ... and for Oso for a game-saving block. All were important. We wouldn't have won the game without them.

One guy was good all game, even when he had to be a decoy/passer because the opponent was double-teaming him.

I mean ... 14 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, 2 blocks. Plus, only 1 turnover in 33 minutes. And a team-high +8.

Let's not overthink this, folks.

[Daniel]

I was thinking Elliott too because the SOTG should not necessarily be the guy with the most points, or assists or rebounds or all.

both had great games at different points of the game, gotta go with greg though seemed like he was making big plays for us when the game got close and on the run we made to take the lead

Greg made a difference in this game. Finally. We definitely need his shooting and leadership which he showed today. Kolek needs to quit shooting.

He shot 35.8% from 3 last year.  He can keep shooting all year, more will go in.  Today was an outlier.

[Phuket MU Fan]

Lewis.

Last night he really looked like he was in his own head. The Golden Breakdown has talked about how much better he's been when he's set and facing the basket, but last night he had good looks and just couldn't buy a bucket. I do hope the staff prioritizes a shooter with the remaining scholarship. While Kolek should at some point regress to the norm, in the future we'll need more shooting if the offense is geared toward paint and threes.

This. He’s in a terrible shooting slump but is distributing at an elite level and is a good rebounding guard. The shooting will come around

Greg Elliot

[Scoop Snoop]

Lewis. Honorable mention to Greg and Kam.

Agreed.  With the caveat that his cross court passes will start to get intercepted more as the season continues.  Opponents will have enough tape on it.  And if I'm noticing the tendencies, I should hope that someone else whose job it is to notice has as well.

[Pakuni]

He shot 35.8% from 3 last year.  He can keep shooting all year, more will go in.  Today was an outlier.

Obviously he's a better shooter than what he's showing (or we better hope), but last night wasn't an outlier. Last night was how most of the season has gone for him.
He's had one very good (WVU) and one average (Illinois) shooting performance this season. In those games, he was 12-for-23 overall, 6-for-11 from three.
In the other nine games, he's a combined 9-for-53 from the field, 4-for-35 from three. That's very bad.
I don't think he can stop shooting, of course, but maybe he needs to be a little more judicious about picking his spots. Some of his shots in the first half last night were poor decisions.

[Elonsmusk]

Just because Greg had his best game of the year with 8 points doesn't equate to SOTG.

It's either JLew or Kam.  KenPom say JLew.

Agree. Its Lewis


Elliott had a great stretch, Lewis had the best total game

[Miss Katie’s]

Justin Lewis.  Honorable mention to GE and KJ.

[Spotcheck Billy]

Lewis, really liked his defensive efforts too.

[#UnleashSean]

On a 40-min. basis, gotta go with Justin.

Big hoop by Kam, and a very good night overall.

The difference maker, in limited minutes, was Greg, and it was nice to see this super senior make a difference.

The super senior listed as a JR with another year after this one!

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Justin.

But Kam and Greg deserve the podium as well.

[TSmith34, Inc.]

If it were Spark of the Game, Greg would have a case. But Justin was the Stud.

[BM1090]

Watching the game I thought Kam.

But it's Justin. Could have been Kolek had he made 2-3 shots.

[avid1010]

Lewis...Shaka agrees.

[UWW2MU]

Since this is the "Stud of the Game" and not "Stud of these particular moments of the Game" I am going to have to go with Lewis.

Greg and Kam gave us sparks and got them going at times, Oso with the big play at the end saved the day, etc.  But for the full 40, Lewis is the man.
