MOTM: Duke vs. Maryland (Feb 11, 2012)

[JBDuke]

Who was Man of the Match in Duke's 73-55 win over Maryland?

Wondertwin powers activate!

Seriously.. Miles was the man, but Mason and he combined were a two-headed dragon. Enjoyed watching them.

[PumpkinFunk]

Has to be Miles. 13 points, 22 rebounds, 9 offensive rebounds, some solid defense, no foul trouble. He was helping keep us alive in the first half when the team as a whole was seriously struggling.

Good jpb Mles!!! I always love the seniors so I'm glad to see Miles make his mark with a record breaking performance. We need him to be a force rebounding and on defense from here on out.

[jv001]

Way to go Miles!

[1999ballboy]

Miles for sure. Really good game from Curry too though.

[ArkieDukie]

Another vote for Miles! Love to see his efforts reflected in the stat line. Here's hoping that his performance in this game boosts his confidence for the rest of the season. Would love to see the authoritative Miles show up in every game from here on out.

I guess Gbinije gets a vote since he got in the game finally.

I can't wait til the time when he gets to contribute. I think I'm really going to like him as a player. Please be patient Mike.

I see that Silent G has a relative on this board.

[Verga3]

Miles' 22 hasn't happened since Mike Lewis snagged 22 v. Temple in 1968. The Missoula, MT native, has lived and worked in NC for many years. Miles may hear from him....WE ARE FAMILY!!

[devildeac]

Miles!

Most # boards by any player for Duke in the K era according to Duke Sports Network on the way home besting (beasting?) Brand by one. Big brother cleaned up a lot of middle brother's "junk" this afternoon/evening;).

[DukeGirl4ever]

Miles (aka Clark Kent if you've seen the pictures with the glasses) did his best Superman impression today.
He was huge - he did the little things to help us put the game away.


Was very impressed...this is what I have been waiting for the past 3 years. Of course I remember saying this in February of 2010 about another senior...I hope it's deja vu!

[cascadedevil]

Coach K proclaimed Miles the MOM to Bob Harris in the postgame. Never argue with K.

[ThePublisher]

I would like to nominate whatever Nike person designed those hideous uniforms as the FOTM (failure of the match). Please tell me that was a one time thing. You couldn't even see the names or numbers on the guys jerseys. Terrible....

[OZZIE4DUKE]

I would have voted for Plumlii if that had been a choice, but having to choose one I chose MP1 tonight. Fantastic effort in today's game, in all phases! :cool:

[Greg_Newton]

Miles's night, but I could see an argument for Rivers. He was just everywhere on the court today, even when he wasn't scoring.

Led the team in assists, too, but wait a minute, he doesn't pass the ball:rolleyes:;).

Loved watching Miles play and the reaction of his teammates at the end of the game. I really thought that Austin was working hard on defense today...I love that!

Not only did he grab 22 boards, but Miles did so while Mason - our best rebounder - also played. So his internal competition was pretty impressive.
