Kyle. We needed him to bounce back and I think we are best when we get off to a good start which he did getting us going tonight.
I can't vote for any "one" person. This was the ultimate definition of a team win!
Go Duke!
Very difficult question for this game; I'll go with Jon, but honestly -- and in my heart -- want to select "THE TEAM," since superb contributions were made by so many.
For the first time this year, I will not vote, This was a Team win.
Team should be an option
I am going to need to sleep on this one and vote tomorrow. I am torn between the 3 guys in The Firm, Devil Weapon 3, the 3 S's. Man what a great game those guys played as well as Zoubs, LT, and the rest of the guys.
Hard choice.
When the team plays as singular as it did in this game, it's hard to pick one...
...but the way Zoub's stood tough in this game and got some great rebounds and some absolutely crucial assists, I have to give him the nod. He set the "tone" of this game while Kyle set the "pace"...
There was no way I could choose among Smith, Scheyer and Singler so I voted for Zoubs.
In truth this was a total team win, our most complete game of the year.
Since all 3 of the Ss had great games, as did Zoubek, and indeed Lance, it was impossible to decide.
So I approached it on a golf handicap basis - Jordan Davidson draining a three in the Final Four against the Big East T champion - in a way it sums up how sweet this entire year has been (so far!), in a way.
But I loved how Zou owned the key area. He got every big rebound. Just a mountain out there.
I'm sitting this one out. I can't find a good reason to prefer one of the big three over the other two.
Schmingler
I put my hand in the fire for Singler, but my fondest wish is that we have a three way tie for first, with Zoubek a close second. Everybody made important plays tonight. People that didn't know or care much about Duke prior to tonight had to be impressed. I would say we did a workmanlike job of dismantling what West Virginia does well, so that we could win in nearly a laugher. Payback for the last time.
It was bad that Butler got hurt, and I think we all hope it is not as serious as it appeared.
were's the schmingler option?
Gave the slightest edge to Kyle for rebounding(mentally) from the last game.
Because all three were firing on all cylinders, I went with Nolan. He has a place in my heart.
I know, doesn't make sense. But you gotta do what your heart tells you to do.

Great team win. So Jordan Davidson gets my vote to reinforce that.
Voted for Davidson because I can't pick between the starters!
