MOTM: Duke vs. UNLV (Dec 10, 2016)

[JBDuke]

Who was Man of the Match in Duke's demolishing of UNLV today?

[Native]

One of those "unanimous" games. A lot of guys played well, but there was a clear winner today IMO.

I'm on my phone. Is T-Bone on the list?

[Dr. Rosenrosen]

The Big Toe!

[gurufrisbee]

Grayson doesn't even get a last name.

Too bad we can't give Coach K a vote after a great game AND Army beating Navy.

No. Jacksonville Strip is, though.

[gep]

Grayson!!! He put his stamp on the game from the get-go

[Newton_14]

And the winner is.... Grayson Allen. He imposed his will today. Defense had no answer... Fun to watch!

[devilsince1977]

The demise of Grayson Allen has been greatly exaggerated.

[ipatent]

I suppose the lone Jeter vote was a nod to his homecoming.

[DukieInBrasil]

there was no one even close to Grayson. From the field, from 3, even got to the line a few times (4-5). He coulda scored 50+ if coach K wanted to leave him out there.

Meh...just shows that no matter what, we will never have a unanimous MOTM winner...just ain't gonna happen.... which is a shame because there are rare games, like the one today where you really can only make a rational argument for one player, In most games there are valid reasons to vote for different guys. Today just wasn't one of them.

Good golly, Miss Molly. I didn't even watch and the choice seems so obvious tonight. Why not unanimous? Someone better 'splain themselves...

"Jacksonville Strip" - now THAT sounds like an offensive nickname.

Looks like a home town voter to me - you know - like happens over on the dump!

It's DBR. We don't do unanimous.

[Tripping William]

It's DBR. We don't do unanimous.

I know, right? (Or "IKR" as the young'uns apparently text these days.) I suspect there was even an outlier or two in the March 28, 1992 vote.

[Mtn.Devil.91.92.01.10.15]

It's DBR. We don't do unanimous.

What are you even talking about??? Yes we do!

Well, I did not register the lone vote, but for the reason cited above I am not unhappy that someone did, and thus will cast no stones at that voter.

[Troublemaker]

90 out of 92 votes (at the time of this post) is an impressive feat for Grayson regardless. It's hard to get 90 out of 92 people to agree on anything, especially since there are no guidelines for MOTM voting and thus no wrong answers.

So happy to see that Grayson looks like his toe is healthy or at least healthier. That was one of the major Phase II questions -- whether he can get his toe healthy in December. About 5 minutes after the UNLV game ended, he was interviewed on ESPN and he said that the toe was getting "closer and closer to 100%." So I think we're looking good there. I think by the end of December, Grayson will have a 100% toe.
