Your MVP- Iowa at IU

[Reacher]

Who you got?

[KDB]

Leal.

[13th&Jackson]

Leal with a big shoutout to Ware for gutting out

[Parakeet Jones]

Ware. 

[IU Scott]

Leal but Ware was huge as well

[thirdgenhoosier]

Leal.

Co-MVPs for me - Leal (career high 13 pts), Ware - 23 Pts, 10 RBs and 3 Blks in his 1st game back, and he wasn’t even 100%. 

[bluegrassIU]

Leal was great. But Ware was the best overall player on the court tonight 

[Naturalhoosier]

We won!  I will allow this.  

 

Leal killed it tonight!

[5fouls]

I give a game ball to Leal, but i think clearly Ware was the MVP.  Points, rebounds, altered shots, and toughing it out when he was clearly hurting.

Clearly these 6 people are the brightest basketball minds on this site....

Hey Dana Altman! Kel'el Ware ain't soft, bro.

I loved his fire tonight... he played strong and with passion. Everything you'd want from a player.

Very happy for Leal. He IS the walking embodiment of high IU IQ, and he shot with confidence. He can scratch his name on Ware's trophy.

Great team win. Everybody contributed. But when we needed a lift...

LEAL !!!!

Never been happier to cast an MVP vote to this up and outstanding young man.

[Reacher]

My heart says Leal, my head, Ware. Of all our games this year, I think this one calls out for Co MVPs. Leal not only scored but had 7 rebounds. Off the bench. Ultimately, Wares influence on both Offense and defense won me over. Another double double.

No, the original six are brilliant. The rest are bandwagon wannabe coat tail riders.

So, no.

Not the first time @bluegrassIUwas a bit premature with something 🤣

[NCHoosier32]

Ware

[rico]

Leal

[bluegrassIU]

Tastes Great

Less filling 

[DWB]

FWIW, Leal got the game ball from Woody.

[Parakeet Jones]

I like Leal as much as the rest of you, but if he had been getting regular minutes the better part of his career or even just this season and wasn’t a guy just starting to get his opportunity, this wouldn’t even be a close vote. It would be Ware by a wider margin.

No lies detected.

This board is funny.  We need an atta boy vote after wins.  Ware again totally dominates, while partially injured.  

Pumped with a huge atta boy to our hometown boy Leal.  Perseverance,  good attitude, and refusing to quit, while being a great teammate and student athlete.  Deserves a game ball.  Keep it up.  Now if Galloway could just never stink like that again, that would be great.

this is what i'm saying.  i am so happy for Leal and about Leal and to each their own, but Ware was the MVP of the game.  definitely an atta boy to Leal!
