POLL: Gameball Duke vs Virginia

[BluePhil]

After that game I think we are all hoping The Best is Yet to Come! We are living The Good Life as our winning streak continues. As I was watching Tatum tonight I was thinking "The Way You Look Tonight is awesome." He played with Body and Soul and his breakout game was Just in Time.

It was a rough game where it seemed Anything Goes. Virginia now has to Put on a Happy Face and get ready for UNC. I Wanna Be Around to see them beat the Heels, even if my Tarheel friends think I have a Cold, Cold Heart.

Hmmm, I'm not sure who to vote for?

Was close to voting for Matt, but went with Tatum.

Tatum.... but man Matt's defense the past few games has been amazing!

 

[dukiejay]

Easy choice is Tatum. He was sensational. But so was Matt. Ironic that it's two guys who spent so much time in the outhouse this season.

I went with Jayson Who Wanted To Sit My Azz Tatum.

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Matt played brilliantly on defense, but Tatum was exceptional on offense where points were hard to come by both teams. Jayson gets my vote.

Jayson put on a show tonight!! That's what a one and done does. Hey, how about a little shout out to his buddy Harry Giles. Big minutes from him tonight.
Go Duke!

Tatum showing he's grown and dominating. Great half by him!

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Gave it to Tatum! Played very very well!!

Jayson. Matt's D was the best supporting actor here, but I'll say this, Luke facilitated brilliantly tonight. Very Scheyer-esque. We don't need this every night from him, but to have this on occasion, especially when the other guys can't create, is a wonderful commodity to have.

Jayson, Jayson he was our man, others couldn't score but Jayson sure can.

 

[Mac9192]

Tatum. Can't single one guy out for good d, that was total team effort. Tatum is much better lately, kid is talented

And Bolden's blocks

Jayson for sure, but damn Matt was lights out tonight. I've been critical (armchair QB style) of him at times, but he's truly been lights out lately!

 

[germantondevil]

Hard not to go with Jayson. Loved the defense by Matt but Tate was during crunch time. He took the scoring load and put it on his shoulders and performed like a lottery pick should, when others were struggling

 

[SWEc/o95]

I see two people voted for someone other than Tatum. Still holding grudges from the State game I guess....

 

[hart2chesson]

Its Jayson- and really shocked its not unanimous....The thing I liked was we were seeking him out, and he didnt have to neccessarily create for himself. The team is collectively growing together. Tony Bennett must have thought he was looking at a Tyus "Stones" sequel w/Jayson dialing up the part to perfection!

Honorable mention - even though he shot poorly from the field, how about Kennard's 7 bds and 3 assists? Also solid work Harry- 5 pts, 2 bds, 2 steals and 1 assist.I thought his two second half steals were great hustle plays, especially when he dove to the floor!

x2 Well said ODD!

 

[LongTimeDukeFan]

Restating the obvious -- Tatum is the guy! It is great to see Jones getting the love for the contribution that he is making!

The BEST part -- Feels like Duke is ramping at the right time. Teams will have to look at Jayson "another option" behind Kennard and Allen -- love that!

 

[Kingbluedevil]

The part I liked about this game was we had a player that was hot and couldn't be stopped and his teammates recognized that and got him the ball. It could be somebody else next game and K being around the NBA players pushes this more than most college coaches.
