--Fordham is the second worst Offensive rebounding team in America which can be expected when you run the Beilien style offense they are known to run, but you better be able to shoot it from deep in that offense and the Rams are ranked 343/351 from 3 this season at 29.4%. 

--The defense for the Dukes stood at 84.2 points per 100 possessions after the Fordham win. The following nine games, the defense has been 110.4 per 100 possessions.  

--Ideally the Dukes will value the ball and in turn punish Fordham, but at this point in the season I think it is more realistic that they'll commit a few more turnovers than you'd like to see. Hopefully they aren't live ball turnovers to give the struggling Rams offense some easy baskets.

--The 6'10 Slanina gave us some issues in the first matchup and led the scoring for Fordham in their comeback win over Mason on Wednesday.

--Fordham isn't playing seven guys at most at this point and essentially played six on Wednesday.

-Dukes need this game, should get this game and will then get their needed bye week before next Saturday @ St. Joe's.

Two things.

1. There is a monster truck rally at PPG at 1:00
So prepare for traffic.

2. Please stay for the women’s game. I don’t like DH because I think it’s hard to commit to 4.5 hours of Basketball. But please stay.

Thanks for the info

Krivacevic starting!!!

Lifeless , dispirited effort thus far.

either pick it up - or just make the season end .

 

Terrible so far.

Discipline vs lack of.   Thats the difference.   This is actually junk ball Dukes are playing.  F-

Can't play much worse.

Go ask them tough guy.

Making ignorant posts isn’t interesting, Dukes need to suck it up and keep playing.

Let’s see what happens 2nd half.

Let’s go Dukes!

Paging the moderators

Kerrywood sleeps with the fishes!
