MVC POY

[Stickboy46]

No chance a WSU player gets POY. Everyone else have fun.

Agreed, Too many good players that will have to hold their teams up this year (not to knock on them at all). WSU will be lucky to get a first teamer in my opinion, way too balanced.

Well, J Mo just scored 38 in one half.

Is that a POY performance?

What I want to know is why he had 0 in the first half.

And why it took a super-homer 26 FTA disparity at home to hold off North Dakota.

He was quite passive in the fist half. The offense wasn't flowing well but Spencer Haldeman and Klint Carlson were hot. Spencer was 3-6 with 8 points, Carlson was 3-6 with 6 points and even Hunter Rhodes at 7 points on 2-3 from the field (2 free throws as well).

He came out and hit is first shot about 20 seconds into the half. About a minute later a ref screwed him over by calling a loose ball OOB against him. A ball that never went OOB, nor was it ever touched by him. At that point you could see something click in his head and it was game on.

If by "super homer" on the free throw attempts you mean 8 of them coming in the final 1:33 of the game as UND was trying to extend the game and Morgan making sure he had the ball then it was homer calls. If by "super homer" you mean drawing multiple "and 1" opportunities as he drove past his man for a lay up, then yes they were homer. Morgan took over rebounding as well. UND crashed the boards hard, and in the process commited a ton of fouls by jumping through Jeremy as he was going for the rebound. Thus earning the bonus and free throws.

At one point in the second half he was 2-8 on free throws and many of those misses at the front end of a 1-1 early in the second half. He finished 16-22.

Here's the interactive box score. Feel free to browse the second half play by play.

The replay is on ESPN3. Feel free to watch it. I'd argue that for a large part of that game a majority of the calls went UND's way.

Only in the minds of a couple UNI fans could that level of disparity equate to a game being called in favor of the other team.

Unreal.

Unreal.

UNI shot something 17 free throws the final 4 minutes of the game as UND was in full foul to extend mode. That's an undeniable fact backed up by the box score and watching the game.

If WSU doesn't win the MVC outright there might not be any second teamers either.

Yes. Most teams do start fouling to extend at the 4 minute mark, down 4. Good grief.

If WSU doesn't win the MVC outright ... they don't deserve any 2nd teamers.

Might have to be by 3+ games. PPG is all that matters.
