Musketeer SOTG

[wadesworld]

Kolek

Joplin had himself a tournament.

[Jockey]

OMax hands down. Best defensive game by a Warrior in recent memory.

[HutchwasClutch]

Kolek- easy pick

[nyg]

Whoever guarded Boum. First team All BE and he went 0 for 9.

Omax had the best hustle play of the year under the boards with tip pass to Joplin to I believe go up 27. Demoralized X and all momentum to us.

But, Kolek wins.

[WarriorFan]

Kolek, without a doubt.

Special mention to the defense on Boum by Mitchell, Jones and Jones.

I guess if you literally walk off the court with a trophy of your own, you are also SOTG

[Nukem2]

Tyler, but a huuuuge special mention for OMax!

[WarriorHal]

Back to the norm for the past few weeks: Kolek SOTG & the BET.

[brewcity77]

Kolek. BEPOY. BETMOP. SOTG.

[jutaw22mu]

It has to be Kolek.

[Daniel]

Tyler wins again lol.   Phenomenal.....

It could be Jop, the BE 6th man of the year.
It could be OMax for sending Colby Jones back to Brimingham.
It could be Stevie for his usual hounding D and a scoring touch.
It could be Oso for his work on Nunge.
It could be Sean, who got a lot of cred on TV for his D, even though
it could be Kam, who I thought guarded Boum more than Sean.
It could be TKO, who many have called the maestro, BET MVP.

But it's none of them.

It's the real Maestro, Shaka Smart.
He put this team together. Only one (1) top 100 recruit. He got them to buy in, and believe in themselves and each other.
We have heard a lot about how much these kids enjoy plating with each other.

I thought (with no inside, or even outside, knowledge) that the BE coaches predicting us for 9th was logical.
The progression, the development, the improvement of TKO, Oso, OMax, and Kam was astounding - and I think the coach had a lot to do with it.
He has bought into the history of Marquette as a basketball school. He's a Wisconsinite.

I am not going to doubt him again.

Shaka for STOG.

Kolek

Joplin had himself a tournament.

Jop was terrific.  They're especially hard to beat when he has it going

[Frenns Liquor Depot]

What a special group.  A whole lot has to come together to get a team to play together so successfully. It is so rare to witness it on your favorite program/team.

Enjoy every moment.

[Class71]

How do you pick one player from a Team, I mean a Team of great players.

Congrats to Marquette and the fine image this Team and Coach project to the nation.

Al is smiling up there in a front row seat. Shaka's story is still being written and what a story it will become.

I expect this team will all come back next year. It is just too much fun to leave for any reason. And for Shaka, he has found a home where he has the flexibility to coach his way, get paid well and not have blue blood management pressuring him to recruit and coach by some other approach.

Last, the Blue and Gold lighting on the Empire State building tonight shows the respect NYC has for a Team from Milwuakee. If you can make it in NYC you can make it anywhere.

... and the show ain't over yet. Enjoy the moment and keep the fire burning. We love you all.

[forgetful]

Can a coach get SOTG. Shaka hasn't gotten one all season.

[TatumU]

Love the Shaka shout... if not it's  Kolek ... but I'm going to vote omax who set the tempo deffensively.   This game was all D

[connie]

Lots of good choices.  I say TK.

[AZWarrior]

TK with 20 points, 8 boards, 3 assists and 3 steals.

Yes, Shaka deserves it but he'd get SotG every game if he were eligible.
