Poll: Gameball Duke Vs Louisville
- Thread starter BluePhil
- Start date
Zion. For a lot of reasons but here’s the biggest.... he was 8-9 on the free throw line. We had to have those points and he got them.
The team came through when their backs were against the wall...but Zion held the wall up. Zion is my vote.

Cam kept us in it while Zion was on the bench! And his clutch FT’s sealed the deal!
He’s coming around folks...just in time!

1st ever that I’ve voted the “defensive spark” as I’ve always thought, “yeah but whatta bout the dudes actually getting buckets” Not tonight! JG, you earned it my man!
My vote went to Cam because he made clutch free throws down the stretch when we needed them most
We don’t win that game without Tre and Jordan’s fullcourt defense. I went with Jordan, but I’d vote for a “team defense” option.
I went with “ZION CAN’T DUNK” Cardinal fan. He should get the game ball. Helpful reminder.
I wanted to give it to Jordan but Cam’s 16 of our 35 points during the comeback were all too clutch for me to pass up. Still can’t believe RJ had the balls to throw that between the legs pass.
Also when my wife got up and went to lay down in the bedroom because it’s more comfortable than the couch. I’m not saying she had more to do with the win than Jordan, but I’ve put her on notice that she’ll be watching all games in the bedroom until further notice.
Went with Cam but just as easily could have taken Z or Goldwire...... Just love this team and they make a little history every game now! So funny to flash back now to Rece Davis of ESPN saying to Jimmy Dykes on the play by play, "Duke is getting their tails kicked." Yeah Rece, keep on talking, our boys are about to make their move.....OFC

I went with Goldwire, Even Zion mentioned his importance down the stretch after the game.
Would anyone expect anything else from Zion re his teammates.
MVP goes to my wife. She didn't cuss me out after I woke the entire neighborhood up.
Goldwire. It’s not coincidence that our comeback came as he was in the game. The others fed off his energy. Yes, Cam was excellent down the stretch, as was Zion, but they needed a spark, and #14 provided it.
Listen to what Zion said after the game about him.

Coach K has been preaching the importance of the role player this season. Clearly we would not have won without Zion and Cam down the stretch, but I went with Goldwire. We wouldn’t have even had the opportunity to attempt a comeback without him and Tre’s on ball pressure.

I actually went with Coach here. Because of what he did and because it was tough to pick between Cam and Zion, while also acknowledging what Jordan did.
Went with the GOAT. Once again he keeps it all under control, pushes the right buttons, AND DOES NOT COACH LOOSERS!
Terrific post germanton! JG's significance can't be stressed enough in my opinion! He gave us fresh legs, another ballhawking presence, and K knew he needed SOMETHING from the bench that would give us a lift. I will remember this game in his early stages at Duke as Jordan's finest hour to this point. God bless him, and God bless Zion for paying tribute! Is that a humble star for you or what???!! AMAZING!

You could literally cherry pick a player like that every game lol. Bad logic.
That's the hard part about the game ball. If I actually had to put myself in the locker room and watch the players -- I think they would give it to Goldwire.
Great coming out party for Goldwire. His offense needs polish but his defensive energy made a huge difference. Also - Props to the ole coach for going with a 3 + guard look.
Just an absolute "team" win and effort! Have to go with Cam in this one, not just for his daggers, but his all around floor play.
Kudos to Zion and a great defensive effort by Goldwire.
Go Duke!

If Joey Baker's Comments to the team "We are doing this!" When Louisville called their final timeout were an option I may would have picked that ha!!
I actually love that Zion can have a stat line like that and be a distant 3rd in the voting. I sincerely love that about our fan base.
The point is not that cam isn’t deserving, he is, but that it’s not close? When you take out such a gigantic line, it isn’t cherry picking.
