Voted for Matty but it could go to Gray or Harris. But IMHO the turning point in the second half (albeit I was at a wake for the first half so I was spared the ugliness) was the dagger 3s that Matt made that just chipped and chipped away at the lead. Editing to add that Kelly O is going to be a stud later this season and next year. He is another steal.

Foo me once shame on you, Foo me twice shame on me.
I have to go with Matt over Elias only because if Matt hadn't kept us somewhat close (yeah behind by 15 I guess is in the game), then Elias's amazing effort would have been for nothing. I won't argue with anyone who gives it to Elias as he was absolutely amazing in the 2nd half. WOW! MB though really was hot and without his play we would have been blown out in the first half.
For those who were saying it should be KO red-shirting over Sam, I think we saw tonight a great example of why KO isn't red-shirting. He had a great 2nd half too!
Now if we can just not come out flat against Wake Forest on Saturday. We can't keep spotting teams 15 points and expect to win.
I agree it should go to both Bouldin and Harris. Without both their efforts and sparks, we lose. In the end I say Harris . Special props also to Kelly Olynk- solid defense, boards, steals,- really looking better each game by leaps and bounds!!!

Very tough call, but I'm going with Harris. I think the comeback never happens without him coming out in the second half with his hair on fire. He secured all loose balls, made all FTs and finished at the hoop - strong. That set the tone and that made the difference for a team that needed a shot in the arm. Way to go, Big E!
Don't make me pick between Bouldin and Harris! I guess I'll go Matty for the carreer high and keeping us in it in the first half but...Harris baby! And the awesome D by Gray! When we were down by 13 or so in the with about 12 minutes left in the game and it looked like we were going to blow it, I put the TIVO on pause and made a stiff Captain and Coke...I think it was the difference maker. And Mal, it's time to start eating crow about Kelly (although I saw where you were coming from). I'm on the Olynyk band wagon now! Anyway I'll vote for Bouldin. But Bouldin/Harris should have been an option.
That was crazy. KO is starting to play the way he played every game I have ever seen him play and Harris is definitely a beast, but once again, Bouldin leads by example and puts the team on his shouders FTW!
