Re: Game Thread - Saint Joseph's Hawks (A10 Tourney)

This seems like a good matchup for us. The regular season game shouldn't have been as close as it was. They shouldn't be able to exploit our lack of height too much. They don't force many turnovers, which has been our Achilles heel. Even with the way we stumbled to the finish line, I expect to win this one. I was surprised to see KenPom predict such a close game, and even more surprised to see ESPN's numbers actually favor St. Joe's.

Yes, but if you look at the ESPN PickCenter, both team rankings and number fire have St. Joe's as 1.5 point favorites. Both of them put the smart money on the Dukes, but have St. Joe's as the favorite.

Re: Game Thread - Saint Joseph's Hawks (A10 Tourney)

I feel a little better today about this game than I did Sunday night.  But just a little bit.  Out starting 5 all need to score, and not get in foul trouble.  Its really that simple, for tonight.  A little help from TDM or Lamar would not hurt.

Re: Game Thread - Saint Joseph's Hawks (A10 Tourney)

Lamar Norman starting instead of Frankie?

Re: Game Thread - Saint Joseph's Hawks (A10 Tourney)

You go Lamar. Is Frankie ailing?

Men coming out strong.

Re: Game Thread - Saint Joseph's Hawks (A10 Tourney)

Beats me. But if Lamar goes all Melquan Bolding on them it's OK with me.

Weathers got some long arms.

Re: Game Thread - Saint Joseph's Hawks (A10 Tourney)

Great start so far, just need to tighten up a little bit defensively.

Re: Game Thread - Saint Joseph's Hawks (A10 Tourney)

Good thing for the fast start or we'd be down 20.

Re: Game Thread - Saint Joseph's Hawks (A10 Tourney)

Refs were calling every tacky foul and hand check then miss Carry getting absolutly hammered under the hoop.

Carry doesn't get a lot of calls he deserves on his drives. Been happening all year.

C'mon, Dukes.  It's time for a little second-half magic.

Let's Go Duquesne!

Probably miss 2 or 3 a game on Carry. If he was slightly built he'd probably get more calls.

Charlie Brown is absolutely insane.

A little defense might help.

Agreed.  Awful defensive effort tonight.

Another agonizingly disappointing tournament performance by this snake-bitten program.  Not even a mini run in the tourney.  Terribly, terribly disappointing.

Re: Game Thread - Saint Joseph's Hawks (A10 Tourney)

St. Joe's played one hell of a game.  Dukes played well too but for needed to pressure the 3 better.

Very disappointing end but they are young and appeared to be running out of gas. Wasn't Eric Williams sensational though?
