Honorary Steel Ballz Award - Ole Miss

[BandAid]

Congrats to BYU on winning their second round game. Pick your Steel Ballz performance for our tournament appearance against Ole Miss. This one is pretty much a pick'em between the seniors.

Also this poll will only be open for 48 hours, so get your vote in.


Candidates:

Matt Stainbrook - 20 points on 8/10 shooting (4/4 from the line), 9 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and a block.

Dee (Darwin) Davis - 17 points on 5/10 shooting (4/9 from 3, 3/4 from the line), 2 rebounds, 3 assists, and a steal. He also really protected the ball, which was huge after seeing BYU turn the ball over every time they looked at it on Tuesday.

Jimmy Farr - 6 points on 2/3 shooting (1/1 from 3, 1/4 from the line), one assist, one block, and 13! rebounds.

Other - I'm not really sure who else you would consider. JP was great coming back from his ankle tweak. Myles protected the ball when Dee went out with foul trouble. Remy played well all-around. Just a good game by everyone. But if you pick this option be sure to tell us why in the thread.

Remember, don't let the stats alone dictate your choice. Consider who had the game most worthy of Tu's Steel Ballz.

Chris Mack. For calling out the "experts" in the post game interview.

[X-Fan]

I'm sorry, but I need a choice of "Stain Train & Darwin Davis" because those two held it down today! What tremendous job of SENIOR leadership! Dee setting the table and hitting BIG 3's, Matt doing work down low and making great passes! Great job guys! Keep it going!

OTHER......

Because I vote all 3! They were huge! Obviously Stain and Dee were enormous, but I loved Jumping Jimmy Farr's boards today!

[Porkopolis]

I'm with LadyMuskie. Coach calling out the "experts" was awesome.

Stainbrook. He was not about to let a cheap T derail Xavier's 2nd half rally.

Farr. Give me a Mr Windex with 13 boards all day long. Way to go Mr Farr.

[fellahmuskie]

I voted for Stainbrook, but I agree with the Chris Mack votes. I pretty much lost it after the Creighton loss at home and had major doubts about his leadership of the team, but he has done a terrific job and deserves so much credit.

All of the above.

Other, Stain and Dee split the sack.

How about his huge 3 too!?

[markchal]

Farr played his best game of the season IMO. His 3 was huge but he's such a terrific rebounder. I wish some of that would rub off on Jalen.

Other:seniors being true x seniors.

Stain was big but Dee making those outside shots really helped the offense flow

[Smails]

Matt "and one mutherfuker!" Stainbrook

[Xville]

got to give it to both Dee and Stain today....those two played like the seniors they are and it was great to see. Let's keep it going tomorrow and make it to the second weekend once again!

Also, honorary mention to Mack for telling the experts to eff off. I hope he does it every single time before and after every game....the other big east coaches should do the same. I want them to point blank call Gotdweeb and SVP out.

By rate, Reynolds is a better offensive rebounder and not too far behind on the defensive end. They're two of the best rebounders in the conference.

Dee was great but his wide open outside shots were a result of Stain kicking the ball back out to him. Dee does a great job feeding him and Stain does great job kicking it back out for the open shot.

Jimmy Eat Board. Well played Strange.

The Lead Boot of Mr. Oppression is killing my rep game, so, here's a public shout-out.
