Pretty clearly Mark Williams, IMO. He's really coming on strong.

I didn't watch the game, so going only by the box score and other comments. What about Coach K and his staff... VERY short turnaround from an intense win against Virginia... against the Syracuse zone that always gives massive problems to opponents. I always fear the Syracuse zone, even if Duke wins. And this appears to have been a comfortable win... 20 point lead in the second half. And, to get Mark Williams involved against the zone... brilliant.

not only did Mark Williams establish career highs in pts and rebs, but his defense was intimidating and he cleaned up the offensive boards for put-back dunks, increasing the efficiency of the offense. Well done big fella!

I voted for Mark Williams but I thought Roach had a very good game. Nice turn-around for the young man. Looks like he's been working hard.

GoDuke!

No doubt. That rebound he swiped from Guerrier showed the kind of determination that embodies Duke basketball. Nice to see...

Well, all the coaches had to do was read the DBR cover story yesterday to figure that one out. :D

I had a brain cramp and voted for Brakefield when I meant to vote for Williams...oops! Williams is the obvious MotM here (although there were several great performances!)

I thought you cast your ballot thinking you were voting for the MOTM from the Virginia game, in which case Brakefield was a fine choice.
