Pretty sure Harper said we are recruiting a higher caliber of player after our success this year and if this is any indication of the possibilities I am pumped!!!  We just need to get a signing or two to build even more momentum.  All of these guys are players, with size, and we are still hot after some other guys (big names) as well.  Let's bring it home Dru!!!  Go Dukes!!!!

I literally had tears coming down my cheek.  I was shaking!!  I was in college when we last went dancing.  All these years in the desert as someone mentioned.  Unbelievable defense when we couldn't hit the back side of a barn the second have, but we never wilted.  So happy for KD, players and DU fan base.  We did it boys!!  OMG, OMG!!  Thanks to Bonnie nation and Richmond poster for the congratulations.

Biggest win in a long, long time.  Happy for KD and the kids.  Good for program, and just a stellar performance.  Agree about some of the foul calls, they gave Holmes a few that didn't happen on Dixon.  Let's enjoy this, Saturday against Schmidt will be tough, need the D to stay on their shooters, no surprises with either team at this point.  Met a younger guy Dukes fan/alum at Brush Creek dive bar in Warrendale - shout out to you buddy!!

Kidd and Dome I couldn't agree with you more.  We all want the Dukes to win and this should have been our year.  I'm sorry but I'd like to know what the odds are of the Dukes winning the A-10 tournament and I would put good money on us not achieving that goal no matter the odds, just the reality.  Just look at the point that Dome made:

We are last in the conference in offensive efficiency and we are last in the conference in points scored from the foul line. We are last in the conference in the percentage of points we give up at the foul line.  This is no conspiracy this is our style of play and it’s been that way since KD got here!

CLK and Iron Duke I am with you as to the last 6 minutes.  No matter the refs you can't have what happened, or better said what didn't happen,  in the last 6 minutes - end of story.  As CLK said:
With 6 plus minutes to go the Dukes were up 4, and Dambrot had three time outs left. and then the  wheels fell off.  From that point on there were no visible signs of coaching.  

And as Iron Duke said Grant became the hunter and Dambrot the hunted.  No response to their press, no timely use of time outs, it is what it is.  Hopefully we bounce back next game.

I have to agree with Stew, very disappointing.  Disciplined team totally schooled us.  No offensive flow, flawed defensively with the back door cuts, what more can you say.  Embarrassing that we are now 1-11 versus Davidson - just inexcusable.  And whoever said we still don't have a set rotation is correct and that is unacceptable at this point of the year.  Oh well.

Hats off to the Dukes today, best offensive game that I've seen in a while. The D was as usual really good.  Kareem played very well today and I commend his effort.  He actually I believe made the play of the day when he made the 3 after RI cut it to eight in the second half.  I also like this 10 man rotation, 4 bigs, 4 guards and F.Drame and Matus at the 4 - along with one of the bigs at times.  Dixon does drive you crazy sometimes, but boy he is fun to watch and his ceiling is very high - how about his blocks?  I thought Chabbi acquitted himself quite well today and I was happy to see it.  Let's not forget this is the first year he is really getting some pt.  Anyway, very nice win and kudos to the team and coaching staff.

Great points about Cannon, I actually shut the volume off as opposed to listening to him for all the reasons noted by others.  As to Rozier I agree with Iron Duke that he is a great kid with a bright future, but City Duke I am sorry, he is not for all the reasons I've already expounded on not a A-10 level starting point guard.  12-15 minutes off the bench sounds just about right to me.  If we don't get a quality PG out of the portal next year is going to not look pretty, especially with losing Dae Dea and JC.

Styles, I couldn't have said it any better, right on point my man!!!  Off the bench with limited minutes should be Kareem's role and that is where he can best help the team.

Iron Duke, I'd like to know who you think should be getting the most minutes at PG?

StillatShales I am with you as to what is needed for next year, not that I am looking that far ahead - I want to see if this team can still make some noise.  Styles I am on board with your starting 5, but I think Dambrot likes bringing Dixon off the bench given his propensity to get into foul trouble plus he gives you a spark with his ability/talent.  I also want to see Matus get minutes as I think that kid is starting to show what he is capable of.  Necas will get there as well next year once his offensive game comes together.  The kid is too good of a player to not further develop.  The drum I keep beating the most about this team is starting Rozier.  Start Jimmy Clark at the point and let Rozier sub at 15 or so minutes a game.  Even Dambrot acknowledges how small we are when he starts with Jimmy and Dae Dae.  Teams so easily just shoot over him and I ask, what is Rozier really giving us??????

Still @ Shales I couldn't agree more with your comment regarding Rozier.  He needs to come off the bench and his minutes reduced, especially with the emergence of DiMichelle, play Clark at the PG!!!  Clark can drive and score or dish.  Again, it isn't about the X's and the O's its about the Jimmy's and the Joe's and sorry, nothing personal, Kareem is a great kid and good to have on your team as a back-up, but he is NOT A-10 quality starting PG.  Townson you mentioned some names that form a good base for next year, and we do need scorers and shooters, but look at the stats (the Juco guard) and size (the Aikens kid) of the 2 guys we signed and I am underwhelmed to put it mildly.

I agree with Townson and would also like to see more Hronsky, Necas and Nicols.  DiMichele has played well, but doesn't it say something about talent evaluation that a walk-in is better than your scholarship players?  KD's insistence on short point guards is just so puzzling.  None of these guys are Calvin Murphy and someone posted Rozier's over-all stats on another thread and my recollection is that they were not impressive.  Rozier is a great kid and a good leader, but ask yourselves, is he a quality A-10 level PG (defense, shooting, passing etc.)?  And now we sign another 5'9" PG for next year, maybe i am wrong, but I just don't get it.

It's just the definition of insanity Wildwood, that pretty much hits the nail on the head.

This is not going the way I like it with 15 minutes left in the second half.  This too is a game that DU should and must win.  This scheduling with all the time off hasn't helped, what the hell Dave?

Yep I just saw the Bonnies game and Schmidt does his usual quality coaching job.  Hopefully Dukes can put a string of wins together!!

I am with Mike I, if we get some scoring inside we win this game.  That said, great effort and had a chance to win at the end.  I also think if Clark takes it to the hoop we win as he scores or gets filed, but nonetheless we did end up with a makeable shot.  Let's get back on track on Friday!!

Good points Styles and Wildwood and the only thing I would add is we do have a 6'2" PG on the team - his name is Jimmy Clark.

Great point Levon and I was wondering the same thing.  Our bigs (Burre and Dixon) should be even better with a year of seasoning, and I think we will be ok at the forward spot with our Euro guys, although more depth and talent will be necessary at the 3, 4 and 5, but as you note replacing Clark and Dae Dae is no easy task.  We do need some experienced talent to come in and be able to give us what Tre and Dae Dae give us, but my fear is that is easier said then done.  The portal may be the answer, but time will tell.  With all of the seniors and 5th years on our roster I would like to hear some good news during the signing period.
