IU vs Maryland MVP

Sorry that I haven't gotten to the Illinois and OSU games. If you saw my post on the Prayer Thread, it's been a rough last two weeks. However, I'm back :)

Went with Yogi, but almost picked Collin.

I am going with Yogi too.

 

Could have picked any of the 4---but this was Yogi's night.

 

He showed the country that Melo Trimble isn't the only great point guard in the Big Ten.

 

This was a STATEMENT performance for Yogi!

Would have to go with Collin. Realistically, two of Yogi's threes were in the final two minutes when the game was all but over. Collin's defensive work, especially the three blocks, make him the MVP in my opinion.

Colin yogi JBJ. All three were so important.

[hoosierpap 14,300]

Yogi all the way

[FortWayneHoosier 5,894]

picked colin because he really helped with early momentum 

[WayneFleekHoosier 47,916]

the entire starting 5!  A collective MVP for this game, huh?  Everyone contributed, especially the starters.

Had to go with Yogi and Agree with rebelhoosier848891… 

 

Yogi not only had an outstanding offensive night, but his defense on Melo was the difference in the game. He held, what has been touted as the best freshman in the Big 10 and possibly a first round NBA draft pick to just 10 points. His control of the offensive flow of the game and his running of the defensive scheme (telling others when to switch from man-to-man to zone, etc) was superb. To me, player of the game is the one person you would be devastated to not have in that particular game and although the entire starting five played phenomenal… I'd say the night would have had a much different outcome without Yogi Ferrell leading our troops to victory! On that note… fantastic performance from JBJ, Hartman, Williams & Johnson. Love seeing Hartman earn that starting position and giving 110 % on the floor. Had some good minutes off the bench for Zeisloft, Stan, Holt and Hoetzel too. GREAT TEAM WIN!!!

I'm thinking Collin but Yogi came up big in the end.

It's saying something when the past several games it's hard to pick a consensus MVP. This years team has so many contributors. It isn't just the yogi show or vonleh show of last year.

[Banksyrules 4,479]

It's Hartman. The one problem we have is that sometimes we don't start off well making the other team feel comfortable. He negated that and set the tone for the entire game.

Yogi was the reason for this win. I understand why many will say Hartman. We couldn't have done it with out him either, but Yogi was the one on top of the wrecking ball, a la Miley Cyrus, that absolutely crushed one of the better defensive teams in the country, and shattered the hopes and dreams of one of the nations best freshman.

Even with a stat line that usually can only be found in video games, 24 pts, 7-8 from 3, 5 assists, AND 0 turnovers, Yogi matched his offensive contribution on the other end of the floor. As the leader, he orchestrated smooth transitions between man and zone defenses that baffled Maryland. As the individual, he shut down the hot shot freshman Trimble, and did not allow his opponent to spark a Maryland run.

In this game, Yogi did everything that the fan base has been begging to see him do. He was the unstoppable force on offense, the rock on defense, and the floor general that made it all possible.

[Hovadipo 54,943]

It's Collin for me.

Also, special shoutout to Max for his short, but productive minutes. That pass to Stan was purty.

[Scooter D 928]

Went with CH.  The way that he started and the hustle and heart that he gave stole the show.  

 

I expect YF and JBJ to put together those types of performance, but I did not expect that from CH.  Outstanding performance.  

[bjobassman 47]

How about, just this one time, we give MVP kudos to the whole team?!  They all contributed, seemed to work well "together" all night, and I suspect they'd appreciate all members being able to take a huge bow for this one.  Thoughts?

[ALASKA HOOSIER 11,256]

Absolutely! I think there should be a radial button for the "whole team".

[Scooter D 928]

Agreed...this might have been the best team offensive performance of the Tom Crean era.
