Dunleavy shrugs off dismal
start and kills the 'Cats



Mike Dunleavy | Duke

Mike Dunleavy was a combined 3-for-14 in the semifinal game against Maryland and the first half of the final versus Arizona.

But in the second half of the final Dunleavy found his stroke.

He hit 7-of-11 in the second stanza and finished the game 5-of-9 from behind the arc. Dunleavy paced the Blue Devils and lifted them when they needed it, hitting three 3-pointers in less than a minute.

For being the unlikely hero in the pressure situation of the championship game, Mike Dunleavy is my PTPer of the game.
