MOTM: Duke v. Princeton (Dec 18, 2018)

[JBDuke]

Who was Duke's Man of the Match in their win over Princeton tonight?

[curtis325]

Zion!!!

[weezie]

Yes, and Tre was looking very very alert and heads up even during the first half doldrums. He's getting better and better at the helm,

[OldPhiKap]

RJ for me. But a sloppy game early, and a mismatch later.

Team defense would probably be my real vote, after the first 12 os so minutes.

[lotusland]

Wen’t with RJ for his all around game including 6 boards, 3 assists, a steal and a block to go with his 27 points. Zion would be second and Jack 3rd. Alex’s passing and ball handling was shaky but his shooting was solid. Nice game from Bolden and Tre was steady as usual.

[HereBeforeCoachK]

I went counter intuitive and with AOC...his 3 in the first half when it was close really kind of jump started a run that lasted most of the rest of the game. Obviously a vote for RJ or Zion is easy to justify also.

[MCFinARL]

Voted for Barrett based on total game but he did have a rough beginning. This felt like a team win to me in the end.

[devilsince1977]

Jack had perfect 6th man numbers. 10 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks, and ZERO turnovers. He also took the lid off the 3 point bucket when we needed it. The kid is a great epoxy guy. Much stronger than just plain old glue guy.

Marques came in soon after the score was 8-0 and the Princeton offense got about three backdoors. He shut that down for the most part, something Javin was bad at tonight, and he was solid elsewhere on D, and good contributions on offense.

[devildeac]

Barrett for me but several other guys had good quality games, including Mt. Zion with a double/double and 3 steals, Tre with a 6/0 game, Jack with 10/4/4/2/2, Bolden with 7/5/4 blocks, AOC with 10 and Besser a perfect 2/2 FT :).

[CDu]

Williamson for me. Scored 17 on just 8 shots. Led the team in rebounds and steals. Also second in blocks and third in assists. He filled the stat sheet like none other tonight, and did so without a ton of volume.

[brlftz]

Voted RJ since he carried us on O for a while, but I also want to point out that Tre is now at 56 assists versus 12 turnovers on the season.

[KandG]

Thought there were a lot of great contributions on both ends after the slow start (and shout out to Jack White for always doing many little things well). I thought RJ even with his erratic shooting start looked like the one player Princeton couldn't guard at all, even with multiple bodies in the paint. His guile on offense and variety of finishes in traffic and transition was well showcased. Solid defensive game as well.

[DukieInBrasil]

Zion got my vote, a 2x double, and again he had more (or =) pts, rebs, asts, steals or blocks as he did turnovers.
Plus his efficiency on offense was insane, 17 pts on ~10 offensive possesions? That's great!
Granted, RJ also had >= p,r,a,s or b than turns, and he scored 27 pts, on 24 possessions.
