Bluejays SOTG

[Jay Bee]

Domino is for play in game. EGB is for out of game behavior (ie cheering a teammate, slapping the floor, celebrating when appropriate)

Not always. In fact, passing the basketball in game has been called the "ultimate" EGB by #mubb staff.

It's an open ended definition... like SOTG

STOG?

Jop deserves a double refund plus punitive damages.

STOG?

Sublime trebuchet of gloom

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

New Scoop Rules per TAMU:

No quoting of other's posts shall be allowed in the SOTG threads (which btw I quoted Wades and agreed with his selection of Sean as SOTG)

EGB's are only "out of game behavior."  WTAF?  Does TAMU really believe Energy Generating Behaviors are restricted to those on the bench and that no player in the game can actually be perform Energy Generating Behavior?  Like Shaka says - Hey guys on the floor - I don't want you to dive for loose balls, or "celebrate appropriately," or slap the floor - I need you to be robots and flat throughout the game."

Domino of the game is:  "Spark of the game" despite Shaka awarding it to the high scorer and/or Ken Pom MVP every game.

Never said anything about rules for SOTG thread (like I never said other things you like to claim I did). Pointing out your tendency to not let things go and to state your opinion as fact.

I clearly didn't mean out of game as in players not on the floor.  I literally gave slapping the floor as an example, something done by players on the floor.

Congrats to Sean Jones, very deserving choice.

We Are Marquette!

It is laughable coming from you that you want to "point out my tendency to not let things go and state opinion as fact."  You just stated EGB's are for out of game behavior as fact.  And you really struggle to let things go..like I'm sure you'll feel the need to reply to this post too.

Reality is, is you can try to suggest Domino of the game isn't the equivalent of MVP, and you can also continue to argue that Stud of the Game on Scoop isn't MVP, yet the evidence is such that SOTG and Domino = MVP.

But, I'm all for creating a Sub SOTG on Scoop and we can call it the TAMUSOTG - and pick a player that isn't the leading scorer or KenPom MVP.  In fact, I'll start that thread next game.

Happy New Year, and when I have more time I'll quote 5-10 of your all-time best Projo/Slurper quotes!

I mean Shaka has told us what a domino is. He's told us what an egb is. I guess youre right that I'm assuming that he's sticking to those definitions for those awards.

I've never said anything about Stud of the Game not being (Rocky's) MVP of the game.

This is also I believe the first time this season that I picked the non leading scorer or KenPom MVP for SotG. So make your thread if you want,  it doesn't make much sense.

Your opinion is just as valid as anyone elses but try not to make things up

[MU82]

Spoken like a true Projo.

Because that has a lot to do with any of this.

Congrats to Sean.

I agree - jop should've won yet another sotg

[DoctorV]

Hey now!  I've legit forgot a few times  

This one, I decided immediately after the game.  I just like to let you guys argue about it for a few days!

I agree with those that say Sean.  My eyes told me we won the game because of  him.  I don't normally pay too much attention to torvik's BPM or NET but for this particular game it's clear we were outplayed when he was off the court, and won when he was on the court (BPM +34.7!!, NET +7).  I don't disagree with anyone that says other players were important to this win with defense or otherwise, but my eyes told me we won with Sean, and probably lose without him.

Meaningless Stud

This is where I was.

The entire team was excellent defensively, Sean included.

While there were others that were possibly deserving as well, and others that did great things offensively, the stretch from the 10 minute mark to the under 4 minute mark was the difference in the game.
Marquette was down 2 at the 10 minute mark in the 2H and up 4 at the 4 minute mark.
In that 6 pt swing SJ22 scored 10 of MUs 12 pts.

It was more the eye test and the magnitude of the moment for me though, and what he did with his 13 minutes.

I'll probably be in the minority here, but I was pretty surprised that TyKo was KenPom MVP. The stats are fine and he was still a solid performer, very very good defensively, but I'd be willing to bet he would say it wasn't one of his better performances offensively.
Maybe it was just me.
Either way, I was actually shocked that Shaka had Sean on the bench in the last 3/4 mins.

I only give refunds if you go back and edit all your posts to "NM"

Also, just realized I messed up and never put stats up for Jop's SOTG.  I owe him a refund.

With NIL now, you can take him on the scoop yacht and pay him for going!

Can someone now explain the criteria for DAWG?

Good lord, just learn to take the L and move on, dude.

[MU82]

I watched the 10-minute "extended highlights" on YT last night.

Was definitely impressed (again) with the spark - and valuable/necessary points - Sean provided. We don't win the game without that unexpected lift.

Also was very impressed by Oso's work on the boards. Most of the tap-outs they showed were not just slaps that produced 50/50 balls; most were directed toward where his teammates were on the perimeter. One beauty in particular was aimed right at Kolek, who flipped to Kam for an open 3 (which Kam made). Oso also did a tremendous job boxing out and pursuing defensive boards. We don't win the game without that effort on the glass.

And finally, Kolek ... after a shaky early part of the game, he was so in control in the second half. Went anywhere he wanted on the court and made the offense flow. Plus, he was outstanding on D. We don't win the game without TK's overall outstanding performance.

Gotta admit, before the season started I was definitely thinking we'd see Ross listed in the SoG Tally a time or two by this point. I'm hoping he'll be there within our next five games.

Very uneven season for him and Jop so far, especially on offense. If they become more dependable offensive contributors, we will be very tough to beat.

Simply put, this factor is the difference between the wildly optimistic prediction I had for this point in the season (13-1) and the merely very solid performance thus far (11-3). I've been through some s**t with Marquette over the years... I absolutely will not complain about 11-3 and a No. 7 ranking even if it's not quite what I predicted.

Yep.  This is where I am at.  Great to see Sean and Stevie break out of shooting slumps.  Hopefully they and Chase and Joplin become more consistent offensively.  And in the case of Chase maybe even have a couple big break out games where it becomes apparent he is ready for the next step of team leader next year.  Lots of room for improvement and development throughout the season even with the number 7 ranking.  This is more encouraging than discouraging to me.
