Who was Man of the Match for Duke in their loss to UVA today?
Carter... consistently good on both ends and fewest bad plays.
Wendell Carter with 4 assists, 4 blocks and a steal in addition to a double-double 14 points and 15 rebounds.
You can make a good case for Carter, but Bags was phenomenal and gets my vote.
Carter played very well for the most part, but missed some key free throws down the stretch. Bags was clutch, so he gets my vote.
I am certainly not saying Bagley played poorly, but his somewhat ill-advised missed 3 with under a minute left was pretty much the opposite of clutch. Not knocking his performance, he played great overall. Votes for Carter or Bagley are votes well spent today.Quote:

Our freshman have to, HAVE TO improve their foul shooting. The missed front ends of the three 1 and 1's cost us the game. Marvin's missing 3 of 4 in the first half didn't help either, but they were in the first half. Carter (2) and Duval, their misses cost us big time, and yet, we still had a chance to win until the very end. It's a learning situation, and they will learn. Hopefully quickly. LGD GTHc!
Oh, and thank you NC State! 9F!
I'm with Grayson. Not for the points (lack thereof) but the guts and the focus.
He's our captain. They just need to follow him.
