Who was Man of the Match in Duke's 66-60 win over Syracuse tonight?

Where's Boeheim? Amazing meltdown. Worthy of Dean at his best.

I picked Rodney because I thought he did a much better job defensively than Jabs and also because he was unstoppable, but we just stopped going to him. Which is silly.

MP3, without his fierce play in the 1st half, we woulda been down 15. He plugged some serious holes when our other stars were playing like dog poo.

Jabari and Rodney would both be worthy, but I went with MP3 because he and Cook were the only two good ones in Chapel Hill and he was very good again tonight and two in a row should get him some recognition.

Jabari with honorable mention to Rodney and Marshall. Lets hope Marshall's play is recognized in future PT.

Gotta give it to Jabari for his play down the stretch, but no love for Sulaimon at all? I thought he played brilliantly, and would have been my 2nd choice.

Several good choices tonight. Yes we take Jabari for granted, and yes he could win it every game but i just want him to shore up his defense more. Work in progress there. A beast on offense though.


I went with Hood. He abused the zone from the high post every time he got a good catch in the right position, and his defense has improved so much. He did a good job on Fair most of the evening, including drawing the critical charge.

Shout out to Plumdog III. Dude was a beast on the glass, and loved it when he finally faced up on a catch in the high post and drove it down the teeth for the dunk attempt. With the way he is playing our inside defense just went up a couple of notches.

Our guards played great defense all night on Cooney and Ennis. Cooney has 4 points and was totally gassed down the stretch. Quinn hit some big shots and made some nice plays. I was worried about fatigue and a hangover from the unc debacle but they gutted out the win.

Shout out to Boeheim too for the childish meltdown. Cuse would still have had a chance to win if he does not act like an idiot, especially with how we were shooting free throws. Just a dumb, stupid thing to do. It's not like K had a meltdown on the Hood play at their place. that took away any chance at all of them winning.

This should be unanimous. In one play, Rodney Hood stood his ground and drew an offensive foul, a technical foul, and a second technical foul. (Right or not, that's what ended up happening.)

Rodney Hood for executing beautifully in the high post and playing good defense. Could have easily gone with Jabari.

From section 12: Jabari was "THE MAN" with those rebounds late in the game. When everything was in the balance, he sure came through.

Why no 'Boeheim" option? He's the who sealed the game for us! :eek:

I voted for Marshall for his first half play. Could've voted for Jabari or Rodney just as easily. The reason I couldn't vote for Jabari was those 7 turnovers. It was basically a 1. Plumlee and 1a. Rodney. GoDuke!
