Sean was great in the second half, but boy he had a rough start. Because of that, I'm going Oso. Locked up Kalkbrenner, dominant on the glass against a good rebounding team. The game was won with defense and he was the key to that.

I think I’m giving Jop another nod. Really good defense, another really good rebounding effort, two huge threes. Sean is a close second.

I came here thinking SJ was the lock, but folks here have me thinking Oso and Jop are valid options.

Good games by Oso and Jop (first dunk at MU), but give it to Jones the younger.

Sean. In addition may be the domino of the game. Rattling in his first three seemed to wake up the offense.

Oso was so dominant on the boards and defense. One of the main reasons we won this game was we killed them on the boards - not a sentence anybody usually says about Marquette - and our defense was excellent most of the game.

Sean Jones was quite the ignitor and did a lot of great things in his 12 minutes of play, but Oso waged war against Kalkbrenner for 35 minutes, and Oso dominated yet another acclaimed center. Those 2 FTs at the end, after Kam had just missed a 1-and-1, were huge as well.

Absolutely no problem if SoG goes to Sean, though. Kolek played well, as usual. Jop did a nice job. When Stevie hit his second 3, I declared victory.

Sean. But if the Jop we’ve seen the last two games is the one we get moving forward, this team has another level they can reach.

Sean

Jop, Stevie, and Oso honorable mentions. If Oso scored a bit more would’ve been him. Dominant on the boards and defensively. Jop some big time offense down the stretch. Stevie so important in ways that don’t show up on a box score.

100% Sean. Jop hit bug shots but immediately gave them back up on the other end. Jop also had some brutal defensive possession helping off Scheirman and giving him open 3s

Jop.
He’s back and here to stay. To follow up his stellar Georgetown game with the 2nd half intensity he showed today on D and to be assertive with his shot selection, without the ball sticking, was just what this team needed.

Yes he had a couple times where his help D left Scheirman wide open, but he also had some possessions where he really disrupted people.

Sean.

Said it before, say it again, he is the key to the season.

Excellent defender, drives at will, and if he hits a high percentage of open looks, this team is unstoppable.

Oso played big boy basketball against a top player and won that battle easily. My vote, Oso.

I'd have to go with Sean. Part of what was so impressive was that he came back from a really rough first half and then ignited us to turn the game in our favor. We can't depend on him to do that every night, but man it was beautiful today. Really happy for him.

Sean Jones, Steph Jones, Shawn Jones - one of those 3 has to get it.

As a former dunker yourself, what did you think of Jop’s slam?

Sean Jones. Honorable mention to Stevie. His minutes were impactful, but it was more what his presence allowed for in terms of other lineups. Just immensely important for shaping the rest of the units. I don't think it was a coincidence that Ross' hands and defense felt more impactful.

Gonna say Sean Jones - he ignited the team with smart drives, passes, and 3 three-pointers - in a SINGLE GAME!   Outside the missed breakaway layup a great game!   It’s Sean!

Highly impressed (9.5 out of 10), and highly worried he was going to biff it and get stuffed by the rim.  Bet you slo mo that one and he had about 1 inch of clearance.  The 2 second celebration with the fans in the stands behind the basket?  0 out of 10.

Sean Jones. He will not make that dunk mistake again. He was the spark that lit the fire. Strong honorable mention to Oso for a great game playing defense and rebounding.

Wasn’t until SJ got going that I through we would win.  They needed energy and he delivered.  Give it to him!
