MOTM: Duke vs. Notre Dame (Jan 4, 2014)

[JBDuke]

Who was Man of the Match in Duke's 79-77 loss to Notre Dame?

[jv001]

I voted for Rodney but thought about Quinn, but Qs defense was just too bad for me to vote for him. GoDuke!

Voted for Rodney and his 27 points, even though his D was as terrible as anyone else's.

I'm going to go with Dre because he's showing real signs of leadership on the court and we surely are in need of that. He was playing defense and yes he got fouls called but he managed to keep his focus.

I agree.

You mean other than Atkins? Rodney. He picked up about 8 points of slack that we normally get from Jabari, kept us in the game IMO.

I'll agree with the consensus that Rodney makes a good case. But he had some major lapses on defense. Which goes with the theme of the night. I think without Tyler's defensive toughness, and offensive contributions, we might've gotten blown out in this one. He and Parker were the only ones that seemed to know what they were doing on defense.
