Luke Maye the hero and a few important minutes from White too. Getting to the Final Four has been a true team effort. Very excited by how Maye has played in the tournament.
LUKE MFing MAYE . .
- Thread starter BillyL
- Start date
Luke voted regional player of the year!
I've rewatched it a dozen times and still don't expect that sequence to go down that way....the best part of this is how much he was mocked by Duke fans, they mocked the kid at every turn and he's ****ing breaking their hearts time and time again.
Kudos to a couple of regular posters who've both eaten some humble Luke Maye pie.
Anyone else liking almost every post on this board?

To their credit, they actually have a thread praising Luke for the most part. Pretty classy.
Yep. My dad is a Duke fan, I respect the program but it doesn't change the fact that they're eating crow big time. Doesn't make me forget all the dumb shit they said about him prior to this.
Maye is getting some love on twitter from some lovely women right now.
Lukeeee mayeee go ahead buddy. You were not ready against Ibdiana and I called you out on it. But you are my boy. Thank you so much.
Maye a 3 star recruit out shines all of the 5 star McDonald all Americans playing for Kentucky. Again experience prevails over oad's.
All Luke did in the last 2:45 or so was hit both ends of a 1 and 1 from the stripe, grab a rebound, bail us out as we struggled to inbounds the ball for the second time in a row, make a stellar bullet pass assist to Jackson for an easy 2, dive on the floor and secure a loose ball for UNC, oh, yeah, and knock down the final shot to beat one of our most hated rivals as time was running out to send us to the Final Four. That's all, not too bad for a 3 star kid from Huntersville.

kudos to roy for giving him the 4 year ship.
LUKE MAY MVP SOUTH REGIONALS!
i knew he could do it along.
I cannot prove it conclusively, but I believe Luke also deflected the pass at the 1:37 mark that wound up in Berry's mitts. I have enlarged and slo-mo'd that action, and sure looks like the ball changes direction after Luke reaches out. Not 100% sure though. Either way, still Luke Maye, MOP of the South Regional!
I thought Luke was a walk-on his first year? Or was he supposed to be a walk-on but ended up getting a full ride afterwards?
Well, he was great this weekend.
45 minutes played
33 points
15 boards
4 assists
2 steals
0 turnovers
1PF
63% FG
80% FT
Great comments. We always wanted a player like Luke and didn't know we had him.
I wasn't in any way intending to minimize his contributions. Not in the slightest.
Nice interview with Roy on ESPN Mike and Mike this morning. I think you have to be an ESPN subscriber to get this. Regardless, here is the link.

I want to praise Theo Pinson here as well. After playing really badly for too long, Theo came up Huge down the stretch with several rebounds, 4-4 from the line under pressure, defense, and of course, the final speedy trip downcourt for the final assist on a great find!

Total team effort with contributions from everyone who played. This group of young men epitomize the term "team".
Darn kid, must have slept in - he was clearly 3 minutes late. Make him run laps and take the course over.
