MOTM: Duke v. Ga Tech (Jan 8, 2020)

[JBDuke]

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

[Devilwin]

Cassius Stanley..No question an amazing game..

[OZZIE4DUKE]

Cassius (not Winston) Stanley!

[ncexnyc]

Who is this Cassius Skywalker? The kids pretty good.

[CameronBlue]

Cassius was the tie that gets all the gravy. Tre was the shirt and vest that did all the work. His defense was impressive as always, great assists to Stanley, knocked down jumpers when the team needed him most.

Tre MOTM with Cassius and AOC getting secondary honors.

[HereBeforeCoachK]

The CASH.....no doubt. I mean, three absolute highlight hoops in a row to help turn the game around? Dont get no bigger than that....

My heart said "Javin" but, my brain preferred Stanley.

[DUKIE V(A)]

Great road victory when lots went against us. Tre gets my vote.

[SkyBrickey]

I may have to change my name to SkyStanley.

The back screen by Jack, the perfect pass from Tre and the one handed alleyoop jam was a thing of beauty.

Am I the only one who saw what Jordan Goldwire did to GT?

I was at the game. Maybe it wasn’t as obvious on TV.

Cassius redeemed himself in the end for lazy play and not hustling. Not the MOTM in my view.

[CoachJ10]

My heart said "Javin" but, my brain preferred Stanley.

The plays Javin made in the last 3 minutes had my heart and brain saying "Senior leadership still exists at Duke!"

[Devilwin]

I agree with the above..Thought about Tre, but he didn't have a Tre type day. Several turnovers and got lost on defense a few times. Cassius fired us up..AOC had a good game. In the end I went Stanley..

[Acymetric]

Surprised the guy who lead the team in every statistical category (FT shooting notwithstanding, yikes) isn't getting more love. Hard not to vote for the PG who leads the team in rebounding...Tre for me.

[weezie]

Can we someday have co-MOTM option?

I hate to not pick Floor General Tre.

[moonpie23]

help me out, folks.

Please, please, please - somebody with better youtube editing skills. I want that three seconds of Stanley heading for the tomahawk and the announcer going "Uh oh." over and over again...

You're not the only one... If anybody on this board even guessed JGold would not start yet play 37 minutes in a gritty ACC win on the road, please stand up!

Almost changed my vote after missing the FTs at the end, but considering Tre went 5 for 10 I decided it had to be the rim and the sightlines that were the problem. ;)

[elvis14]

Had to go with Cassius. It's not just the wow factor and yes I realize that he had some poor moments but...timing matters. There was a point in the game where we needed someone to step up and put us over the hump and he delivered.

Tre put up great stats and had some struggles. JGold did his thing (which is much better than last season...so very impressed with his improvement in all phases)

[Reddevil]

Cash made a splash, but Tre made hay.

[jv001]

I voted for Cassius for his game changing plays but could have easily have voted for Tre. Both were great but both were not so great. I was really upset with Cassius for not being aggressive in the first half. There was one instance he could have gone to the floor and gotten the ball or at least gotten a tie up but he just reached for the ball. I thought to myself, Coach K isn't going to like that and maybe that's why Cassius didn't play much at the beginning of the 2nd half. But man, did he come through when Duke needed it. He was really aggressive and changed the game around. As for Tre, missing 5 of 10 FTs and having 4 turnovers is not like our amazing point guard. However he is our leader and he had some very impressive stats but I had him 2nd in MOTM. GoDuke!

You have made my day and my week!

[Lar77]

Wow, not many voters today.

I went with Javin, but I can't quibble with the other votes. I went with Javin because he was key down the stretch with defense and yes hitting two FTs. Cassius had spectacular dunks; Tre set up those spectacular dunks; JGold was terrific all night on D.

I will give choke of the match to Jose Alvarado. Air guitar, really? Thank you for inspiring us.

I voted Stanley for his momentum shift he provided even though it's been a long time since I've seen K that angry with a player.

And Dribbles got what he deserved in the end-- an L.

Cassius Manley gets my vote
