James is a dude and is figuring out how to play the point guard position before our eyes.  Some of his passes tonight were awesome.  Manipulating the defense and the one guy who plays at his own pace on this team.

[nyg]

38 points, 8 assists, 1 turnover and 1 foul. In overtime. And drains three free throws to tie game. Freshman

Best game by MU player since.....

Back up the armored truck.

It's James... But, I want to vote for Chase Ross because of his defense.

Yeah, but he was 5 for 14, missed a front end under two minutes, in overtime missed three wild shots, made three fouls, resulting in four points.  Parham and Owens were above him in pecking order tonight

Why?  That game was very entertaining.  Two teams playing bad defense and fast offense.

Chase had steals, but his defense was really poor otherwise.

[BE_GoldenEagle]

Nigel James.

I said on the discord that we only won that game because Chase Ross could foul out and Kim English could not.

No clue what Chase was thinking down the stretch. Just terrible decision making for a should be leader.

The youth is showing some things.

James
Chase was short on almost every shot in the second half

Show me the player who played well on defense.

[Miss Katie’s]

NJJ.  Honorable mention DO for the steal late in regulation. 

[Eye]

Most obvious choice in quite a while.

[DrJay24]

The best thing Ross did in the second half was foul out. Was hurting the team on both ends.

Very exciting low stakes basketball. I'll give you it was more fun than a pickle ball game

IMO, Stevens did the best job on Sellers.

[Zog from Margo]

James certainly looks like the foundation of a rebuild. When was the last time a freshman at MU had a game like that one? I was hesitant to refer to him asa "grand slam," but I'll happily eat my words.

[Daniel]

I am thinking . . . But I think Nigel James played pretty well tonight,   lol.  Go NJ!

[Jay Bee]

Nigel, but shot out to the Western Reserve Bros.

Happy Damarius is getting actual PT now. Ceiling is niiice for him.

His performance has consistently dropped off at the end of close games this season. I'd guess it's mostly mental but probably physical too. I don't remember seeing him sub out in the 2nd half so he must've been exhausted.

Ty, Nuke.

[tower912]

30+ as a freshman is Markus Howard.

Great game.

[BM1090]

NJ, obviously.

Ben is doing so many things well and just cannot buy a jump shot.

Royce has been a lot better too.

[panda]

Shaka for finally after 19 games getting the rotations right.

[WarriorHal]

Super game by Nigel. And a fun game to watch for a change with the correct outcome!
