Can Archie be MVP? (I guess not as it is MVPlayer)... Leading up to the game, he mentions getting Lander & Geronimo more minutes (obviously coming from Rob & Al), while also mentioning Rob & Al need to step up their game.... Well it worked, and both of them had solid above average games.

This one is close in my mind, as a few guys did some very important things... but I think overall I vote Al Durham!

Sorry for being tardy with this! Who is your IU MVP in the victory over PSU?

 

Franklin - 16pts, 3rebs, and 2stls

Durham - 18pts, 4asts, and 2rebs

TJD - 21pts, 6rebs, and 2asts

Galloway - 10pts, 5asts, 4rebs

No question in my mind:

Write in candidate Rob Phinisee...dominated on the defensive end and, well... Big Shot Rob!

I will add, Thompson had 7 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 blocks. 

Phinisse had 3 blocks, 1 steal, but 3 turnovers and only 1 assist. He played stellar defense, with key defensive performances to end regulation and overtime...as well as hit the go-ahead bucket with under 20 seconds. 

Galloway had a line that included only 1 turnover compared to 5 assists on 36 minutes of playing time. He also shot 4-5 from the field and 2-2 from the line. He’s such a hopeful freshman. 

Al only had 2 turnovers compared to his 4 assists with a pretty solid shooting night (including 50% from 3).

TJD had his typical 20-something and over a handful of rebounds  

This is a tough one. Solid offense and balanced scoring, but one of the poorest defensive performances overall. For that reason, part of me wants to give it to Phinissee for his effort on D when it was most crucial. It was the 1 assist to 3 turnovers from a point guard that makes it hard to. Part of me wants to give it to Al for stepping up big and playing under control after a lot of scrutiny. If Thompson had hit all 6 free throws instead of only 3, then it would be hard not to include him in the list with 10 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 blocks.

I’ll nominate Galloway in this one.

10 points on 4-5 shooting (2-2 from the line), 4 rebounds, and 5 assists to only 1 turnover in 36 minutes of playing time. He may not often lead the team in any one category, but he fills in the stat sheet on a consistent basis. He was some good adhesive to the entire unit once again, and it’s consistent role players helping out wherever they can who help teams win close games. His imprint on this game, like so many others already this season, didn’t go unnoticed by me.

I'll go with Galloway also. I have been astounded by the rate at which he has grown from the beginning of the year to now. He just does things with a purpose. If some of our more highly rated guys played with the same intensity we would really have something.

Despite the apparent lethargy.

 

TJD. Takes it but not by much. 
 

Rob had the most clutch plays on O and D at the end. But little in between.
Galloway most consistent. But nothing huge.

AF-was close, made some shots.  Had some not so great moments  

Durham-same as AF for me.  If he hits 2 of those open 3s in OT maybe he takes it
