Agree on Lane.

Agee but honorable mention to Lane

I mean it's gonna be impossible usually to argue against Agee since he's the only one who can be relied on to make layups and get rebounds.

This was a great W - LFG!!

Seriously. Can you imagine this team without Agee?

Hey gotta out dawg the champ to earn that title. I'm okay if he keeps winning it and players feed off that energy

I thought Hill made some monster grown-ass man plays. He can ball! Also, Dominguez' off-ball movement was superb.

Hill made a couple of nice shots. Lane carried us down the stretch and got the steal that led to us getting the lead back.

He's the only one who can rebound in the post on this team. Fed is a way worse rebounder than I thought.

is agee going to be a bigger dog this year for us than andy was?

On post game show, Bucky said he'd followed Lane since he led his team to two high school state championships in Alabama, and he's nothing but a winner!

Agee and Lane. We're starting to build a pack.

Griffen or Pop could be DAWG #3.

It was Lane until Agee hit the three. Only Agee gets DAWG credit for hitting a three.

This is correct. Maybe a guy like Vinson or Hill hitting four but it can't be a pure shooter like Dominguez.

Hard to pull off. Looking better than Senior year Andy but Junior year Andy was insane,

Vinson has 1 career 3

Agee is your undisputed DAWG of the game

Not seriously

OP mentioned permaDAWG status. The Lane talk is just for sake of discussion.

This raises the question though, just because you're the most DAWG, are you necessarily DAWG of the game?

Every player goes into each game with an expected level of DAWG, and I think you can make a good case that DOTG is as much about how you perform relative to your Expected DAWG as it is overall DAWG-ness.

Agee's DAWG is probably always going to be the highest, just by how he plays combined with the position he plays, but Lane's DAWG plays really changed the momentum of the game last night.

I think DOTG is a combination of overall DAWG, DAWG/Expected DAWG, and how much your DAWG-ness impacted a given game relative to how much you generally impact the game. Like a 'Adj.DAWG+'

I'm all for Adj.DAWG+ discussions but I think DOTG needs remain the same. Agee won't win it every game.

Agee, Dominguez, and Lane are shortening the bench. I know Bucky wants to play 12, but 9 of them are gonna be sharing 110 minutes pretty soon.

I think it's easier to shorten the bench too when some of our games are a week apart right now. But building that depth is going to be huge when we get into that twice a week every week grind of the SEC.

Right. So if he caught fire it would kind of be a dawg moment.

Yes. We have to give credit to guys who perform at a higher DAWG level than their baseline.
