Roach

[Saratoga2]

No doubt in my mind. Roach was great.

[Dukeblue91]

No question about it Roach today.

[CameronDuke]

Jeremy Roach will and should win this voting contest and it may be unanimous.

[MarkD83]

To whom it may concern. Don’t even think about it!!!

[MarkD83]

You thought about it. Argghhhh😊

[OZZIE4DUKE]

Roach. Honorable mention to Mark Mitchell.

[rsvman]

Roach. A no-brainer today.

[gep]

Roach... but wow, Ryan Young is a GREAT asset to this team, especially with the slow starts for Lively and Whitehead. Coach Collins groomed him well

[JasonEvans]

To whom it may concern. Don’t even think about it!!!

I mean, Mitchell deserves some consideration (so does Flip, but we are getting tired of voting for him every single game) but yeah... it is virtually impossible for someone to win this unanimously.

Yeh, when I saw that Roach hadn't gotten all the votes so far, my thought was some voters voted for their favorite Duke player. I don't think there has ever been unanimous vote since I've been on DBR.

GoDuke!

I've been a bit of a Roach detractor, but he shut me up last night. Clear MOTM, and it was not close.

To MarkD83, I'll be your Huckleberry.

To jv001, no reason to start now!

To Phredd3, so the Jeremy you were expecting finally showed?

I voted for Mitchell because his performance against the two prior teams we've played Kansas and Or. St. were lackluster at best(7 & 5, 1& 0), particularly Thursday's game. Filipowski had his least best game (12 & 4) against those 3 collective opponents so wasn't in the running. So, it came down to Jeremy and Mark. And then I thought, everyone is going to vote for Jeremy because he finally delivered the kind of game we were all expecting. So, who exceeded my expectations?

Yep- Roach played like a vet and the other guys settled down. Great to see Mitchell step up

I was certainly not expecting 21 & 5 ast 4 rebs 2 steals with just 1 turn from Jeremy. That's an amazing game, statistically. My expectations are more in the 10-12 ppg range, Jeremy certainly exceeded them.
Not to take anything from Mark, he had a great game too and exceeded my expectations as well.

[Phredd3]

To Phredd3, so the Jeremy you were expecting finally showed?

As noted by DiB, Jeremy far exceeded my expectations. Frankly, I expect him to regress to the mean. But that doesn't change the fact that his game last night was top-notch.

Is that you Doc Holiday?

What MarkD83, Phredd3 and DIB said. I just thought Jeremy played his best game at Duke. He carried the load on offense with his scoring, playmaking and defense. I thought Mitchell stepped up his game as well. He's going to be a very good player for Duke.

GoDuke!

How did any player not named Jeremy Roach get a vote? Easy Mitchell, maybe?
