MOTM: Duke vs. Syracuse (Feb 22, 2017)

[JBDuke]

Who was Man of the Match in Duke's 78-75 loss to Syracuse tonight?

[JBDuke]

Several possibilities for me this game. Luke was a key to our zone attack - both when shooting the 3 and when manning the high post. Amile was strong inside all night, and made key FTs and baskets down the stretch as Syracuse was getting back into it. Harry had one of his best games so far. I went with Jayson, who had a real stat stuffer kind of night.

[Troublemaker]

I went with Luke for his key role in attacking the zone.

However, props to Matt as well for shutting down leading scorer White. None of White's 7 points were scored on Matt. He got a 3 in transition on Luke and got 4 free throws when Cuse was in the bonus and other guys fouled him.

Unfortunately, Matt can't be the only person playing defense.

Amile and his free throws kept us alive. Lead them Amile! Make them believe!
