Offline With all of these crazy finishes, big comebacks, great halves and bad halves (excluding St. B which was ugly start to finish) I was thinking about the youth factor versus the rust factor. Now I am aware that we are very young based on that one statistic, but after 24 games I don't think we can use that as much as a rationale for some of our funks. Don't forget all the transfers played or were in college for a year, sat out a year and are now playing. Does that make the guys like 20 years old? Not a big deal, but I really think in large part the rust factor and the injuries set us back more than anything. SC already plays 90% of the time like a seasoned vet and he is the only real freshman starting. I can see the youth with the other freshman, but not SC. What we need is consistent energy and intensity and guys that need to lead night in and night out need to do that. We are getting there, but KD isn't the only one getting driven crazy by the ying and yang performances. Let's get the Explorers on Wednesday! Go Dukes !!!. CLK, please post the list showing the number of wins that everyone predicted at beginning of season - thanks buddy. Offline I really want to win that trip to McKeesport. Kennywood here I come, 22 wins on the horizon. Go Dukes!Final predictions: Offline With all due respect CLK rooting for Elduque orIronDukes12 now! Haha. Honestly thought I was the optimist at 21 originally Offline With all due respect CLK rooting for Elduque orIronDukes12 now! Haha. Honestly thought I was the optimist at 21 originally I'm another 21er. 21, in honor of Roberto Clemente! This is for the entire season, not just the regular season. Offline Judge, I would gladly give up the fabulous prize to McKeesport to my friend El Duque for 25 DU wins this season. Ahoya-Dukes!!!
