MOTM: Duke v FSU (Mar 16, 2019)

[JBDuke]

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

[Devilwin]

Tre was just awesome. Got my vote.

[DangerDevil]

Zion was incredible as usual but Tre seemed to drive the ship for us tonight.

[TNTDevil]

I wanted to give it to Javin but, nah, Tre was spectacular tonight.

[TruBlu]

Tre for MOTM. Zion for MOTT (Man of the Tournament).

[summerwind03]

I find myself voting for Tre in these polls often. Glad to be joined by many others tonight!

A very good weekend. For the team.

[weezie]

Love that Tre. He willed that game into submission.

Love them all!

I'll post this here again:

an unusually tough call tonight. Tre had a great game shooting and scoring and defending but had an unusual 3 TOs, Zion scored the most and the most efficiently, but didnt rebound well or rack up many steals/blocks, and RJ struggled from the field but led us in boards and steals...


...voted for Zion out of habit

[ncexnyc]

Tre Jones come on down. The young man picked the perfect time to have a huge offensive game.

[DU82]

I voted for Tre, but there is no wrong answer tonight, because no matter for whom you voted, you voted for a champion.

[Neals384]

I wanted to give it to Cam for 0 turnovers and only 1 foul.
I wanted to give it to Javin, for showing extraordinary toughness against the FSU giants
I wanted to give it to OMG Zion.
I wanted to give it to RJ, who excelled even though he seemed to be totally out of gas in the first half.
Tre is out MOTM. Career high point - very key as there were so many possessions where FS was simply taking away Zion and RJ - daring someone else to score. And he did. Plus the assists, rebounds and defense.

I think that may have been Tre's best game yet as a Blue Devil. He excelled in every facet. Honorable mention to Zion - without a doubt the best player of the tournament - and Javin.

tonight's game is going to help boost the team into the post season....


let's rock...

Looks like Bilas was outvoted on this one. He said Zion was the player of the game and scoffed at Shulman for asking.

Surprisingly, Bilas didn’t vote for Luke, Colby, and Cam J, as co-mvp’s, since they would have been great, had they been rightfully allowed to play in the championship game.

[Reddevil]

My head says Tre, but my heart says Delaurier. What a gutsy, gritty, tough job tonight against those behemouths!

[kako]

Zion got points, dunks, etc. And that one Magic-esque pass was amazing. But in this game he didn't hit the key shots. Barrett played fairly well, but again didn't hit key shots. Reddish hit the dagger shot, but the rest of his O game was off. DeLaurier did great on the boards, and even got points... but again wasn't key. The whole team played great D. Jones hit key shots, got a career high in points, dished the ball. He gave the team the spark tonight. To me, he's the obvious choice.

Gotta go with Tre but I don't think Joey Baker's availability should be underestimated.

Bilas disputed Shulman's claim that Tre was the "best player" in the game. I think a big part of our other players' success has a lot to do with the amount of attention Zion gets.

Tre can be the man of the match and Zion can still be the best player in the game at the same time.

[brlftz]

Poor Zion, it's like how Coach K never wins coach of the year awards. We expect him to be great. These awards end up being for overachieving, and when you're Zion there will be no such thing as overachieving anymore.

[jv001]

I thought Tre was the MOTM but all the starters were worthy. I think this was Javin's best game since he came to Duke and it was against a tough FSU team. Way to step up young man. GoDuke!

[Ima Facultiwyfe]

Javin Jones
Love, Ima

[Bob Green]

Tre Jones earned my MOTM vote as he controlled the flow of the game. I really thought he took over and lead the team to victory.

Runner-up: Zion Williamson. He was in Beast Mode as usual.

Honorable mention. Javin DeLaurier was impressive. Perhaps his best performance as a Blue Devil.

I'm not ignoring how important RJ Barrett is to the team there was just so many great performances last night.

Sorry guys, I have to disagree with all of you. The real MVP was Teddy Valentine. He’s the reason why I went to the game last night and the reason you all tuned in. Keep up the good work TV Teddy!

False. Mike Buckmire is the heart and soul of the team and the one true MVP.
