MOTM: Duke vs. Iona (Mar 15, 2018)

[JBDuke]

Who was Duke's Man of the Match in their win over Iona this afternoon?

[proelitedota]

Tricks.

Easily the most complete game by him this season.

[duke4ever19]

Trevon Duval, of course!

[Bob Green]

Grayson Allen with 16 points and 9 assists wins my vote.

[devildeac]

Considering a Bolden vote for his perfect shooting day. (trolling elvis here :p)

:rolleyes:

[BandAlum83]

Grayson Allen with 16 points and 9 assists wins my vote.

19 points, 8 assists gets my vote. Duval.

[OZZIE4DUKE]

Trevon Duval! Hope he keeps his play (and outside shooting) at this high level! Would bode very well for our immediate future success! LGD GTHc!

[rsvman]

Another vote for that guy wearing number 1 for Duke today, which should have been Duval, but instead was some guy who could really light it up from outside.

[Devilwin]

No contest. My boy Tricky. 4 of 5 threes, 8 assists, and that behind the back pass to Bags for the dunk was just sick..

[ncexnyc]

Went with Trevon as his shooting early on kept things from getting out of hand, as Iona was smoking hot to start the game. However, after today's performance do we have to change his nickname from Tricky to Sandbagger, as where on earth did that shooting ability come from.

I believe ncexync is a golfer. I hope he's a sandbagger and has a +3 handicap. :cool::cool:GoDuke!

Duval with the votes?

What the hell happened? You folks are supposed to just insult him and talk about how you miss Tyus Jones.

Duval for me. Excellent game except for the 3 late TO as I think he was 8:1 at some point.

(<ducks>)

Rough crowd here. :o

LOL, <mr_garvey_substitite_teacher>Son of A... This is a MOTM poll not a Man_That_Didn't_Miss_Any_of_his_2_shots poll. Ya done messed up A-A-Ron!!!!! ;) </mr_garvey_substitute_teacher>

I voted for Trevon. He hit 4 3's, no really, he hit 4 3's.

[mgtr]

After all the abuse heaped upon Duval by this board, the vote today should have been unanimous.

[kAzE]

It's amazing what hitting some 3s does for your perception on DBR :D

Another music video from Tricky. "Hell Is Around The Corner"
Thank you Trevon just keep playing like Iona game when you go up against tough Rhode Island team.

It seems there are 3 kinds of Trevon posters:

1) those that hate on him and think he should be benched. A lot of these posters don't post much on DBR.
2) those that think he can do no wrong.
3) those that realize he is a freshman playing the toughest position in college basketball, that can discuss his play whether good, bad or indifferent, and will make positive comments.

We need Trevon to play like he did yesterday and I think he just might do it for 5 more games.

[Acymetric]

Grayson Allen with 16 points and 9 assists wins my vote.

Agreed. I think there are solid arguments for Allen, Duval, or Bagley this game. Duval scored very efficiently (and that behind the back pass was beautiful), but he did also have four turnovers to Allen's one. I was a little surprised at how much Duval is dominating the vote, but I do understand the sentiment.

it would help his draft stock quite a bit. it always helps to go out a champion!!!
Seriously though, if Trevon plays well enough to be garnering serious MOTM attention from here on out, i think that bodes well for the team.

I'll go one step further - if Trevon EVER gets a unanimous MOTM, we win the whole shebang.

What are we waiting for?! Everybody vote for Tre!

[jbay201]

the harsh criticism and derogatory comments towards him have to be from non-fans/trolls. duval is already shooting better than kennard did the entire ncaa tourney last year!

some players turn it up when its tourney time and i definitely think thats going to be duval. players really just need to have confidence in their shoot during the tourney...a lot of garbage teams filled with poor shooters playing out of their minds at this time and duval is a lot better than them.

I hear Duke Medical was just able to activate the bionic eye that was implanted earlier this season. The neural connections had to be stabilized, and they needed an off week in order to work on it. Thankfully there was enough time after the Friday loss at the ACC tournament.

There is still some adjustment needed ( thus the One miss from 3 land). That will have to be corrected after Rhode Island.
