Man of the Match vs. UNC

[Jumbo]

Who was the Man of the Match against UNC?

[BD80]

Can't be Greg, he pulled a Steve Gray at the end. Lance played GREAT!

[OZZIE4DUKE]

I voted for Lance. He finally found is offense to go with the defense. Nice finishing around the basket and a couple of hook shots.

The TEAM today were the "Men" of the Match. Every player who stepped onto the court tonight played with a pair between their legs, and didn't take any B.S. GREAT team game was played tonight that we should ALL be happy for (besides the fact that we beat those second rate holes from down the road). Just amazing tonight watching the unselfishness, made me feel G-R-E-A-T to be a Duke lifer.

Also, I loved the fact that UNC didn't get any home cookin' from the Ref's. It seemed to go both ways throughout most of the contest.

I am so THRILLED!!!! And I don't want to hear any jibber jabber about Lawson not playing...Regardless of who played, we won, they lost.

GO DUKE

Lance played GREAT!

He sure did! Has to get an honorary MOTG; it's tough for me not to say Singler in just about every game, but Paulus's shooting was essential to this win; then again Scheyer (who has got tostop bending his knees so much on his 3s; I think he does so because there is something going on in his back, lower back, if I have to guess some more).

And the winner is, DUKE!

Lance was great but the freshman was the man!

[Dukebacker]

Greg kept us up tonight, but Lance was on tonight. Let's hope he can keep that up all year. That would be a huge boost.


What a game!

[mgtr]

Well, the net, net is in -- the winner is TEAM. Hard to think of who you would bench without making our team a lot worse. I believe I heard that we had six players in double figures. I think we have also had six different MOTMs this year. That is really phenomenal balance.

[mr. synellinden]

Some of those shots were off balance or off the dribble.

With Paulus playing the way he has the last few games, we rise to being a great team, not just a very good team.

Singler is a close second - played great on both ends of the court, great rebounding in the second half and avoided foul trouble.

Henderson had some freakish athletic plays including the monster block on Hanslkjflksjf just before Singler hit the 3 to put us up 71-62.

Thomas had his best game at Duke and had a great block or two.

What a great team effort - 6 players in double figures. And we survived a second half where our best player picked up his 4th foul with 16 minutes to go.

Awesome.

Scheyer was everywhere - particularly in crunch time. He did everything you can ask of a player and was in such control throughout. With Nelson hampered with fouls- Scheyer took out the lunch pail and had a great game.

[mehmattski]

Scheyer was the glue tonight. Greg's 3s were big and Lance's contribution was certainly unexpected, but Scheyer's overall game rose to the occasion tonight.

[Duvall]

Scheyer probably had the best game, but I can't pass on a legit chance to vote Lance as MOTM.

[dyedwab]

I voted for Lance, but GH's defense was something tonight. He was less of a factor on the offensive end, but he was part of the key to holding down Ellington and a couple of his blocks were just sick

[Devil in the Blue Dress]

What a great problem to have!!!! The embarrassment of riches and talent! How many games is this now that selecting only one player of the year is so hard?

[captmojo]

Had to vote for Kyle. He filled his role just right. He will improve his role against Beaker with each time they play.

[OrangeDevil]

Okay. Greg had an absolutely incredible game. Jon too. But my vote, as it often has this season, goes to Kyle. Where would we be without him? While his stats don't necessarily compare favorably to opposing post players, he's often battling a bigger player who's being rotated with another big. And Kyle is often battling two of them at the same time. At the other end, how often has he delivered the dagger offensively?

While Kyle is rarely at the top of the stat column, but he is consistent and reliable. He is critical for our chances in March.

[jipops]

This one was tough but I actually have to go with Singler. Not only does he have to square off against Tyler but he still manages to stay out of foul trouble, plays 37 minutes, and posts a double-double. Every facet of his game tonight was beautiful, he blocked shots, got his hands on passes, drew defenders out, had some beautiful pro-type moves. I thought his play was phenomenal and boosted us in the 2nd half.

[Devilsfan]

TEAM DUKE. Great effort!

[weezie]

TEAM DUKE. Great effort!

Team DEFENSE!

Yowsa!

[91devil]

Lance Thomas playing with CONFIDENCE gets my vote. Did you see those low-post finishes on Psycho-Travel?

LT = MotM
