On the other hand, you need like 5400 players to man all Div. 1 men's basketball teams @ 15 per roster.

Your intuition is dead on. He was dismissed from the team on 12/12/24 for violating team policies.

He was always expected to redshirtdue to a knee injury, but got introuble while sitting out.

We probably won't find out all the details about Larry Johnson's issues, but after seeing how Jimmy Clark III earned some redemption, I'm not inclined to write a young kid off.

The way your comments are phrased sometimes makes it feel like there’s no room for further discussion. The tone and sense of finality can make it hard to engage or explore other perspectives. The way interactions have gone with others make it feel not worth bothering.

And then you make comments elsewhere that are like “since no one has rebutted I must be right.” It really takes the enjoyment away from talking about the team.

This exactly. Thanks Face.

Actually in a few years, the NCAA will be composed of only one conference---"The DraftKings/FanDuel Big 66 Conference".

I’d like to preface this by saying I don’t believe it will happen, but, if the Dukes win out and St Joes and Loyola both lose out the Dukes get the double bye?

So you’re telling me there’s a chance! 😂

The double bye isn't all it's cracked up to be. As I recall all four teams immediately lost last year.

We have had GM's number lately and this is a must win game in my opinion. Let's Go Dukes!

Pretty much agree with all that has been said. It is also frustrating how poorly we shoot on our home court while opponents come in and light it up. I wonder if there is limited time to practice there. In any case, we need to figure out a way to protect our home better.

Against the Bonnies, Dayton shot 33% 3-pt,, both halves.  Against The Dukes, Dayton shot close to 75% 3-pts., most of the game they couldn't miss.  That was pretty much the game.

We were doomed when Dayton's first 2 absolute bricks from the 3 bounced high off the rim and somehow fell in.

Truly a disappointment yesterday. I'm baffled by Dixon's lack of development offensively. As a freshman he showed flashes of what looked to be a very high ceiling but seeing very little improvement in that area. Should have been able to develop offensive moves in the paint and strong finish by now but seriously lacking them in my view. Thought he would be a double-digit scorer. Any thoughts here? Anyway-GO DUKES!!

You are right, but he has always been consistently inconsistent. Flashes of brilliance followed by complete disappearance. I think all our bigs should maybe forego the spectacular lob dunks for awhile and just start making point blank layups.

4 posts on the Duquesne thread on the Bonnies board to once again complain about the home cooking they're in for on Saturday. I hope they're right.

I noticed that too. Funny how little faith they have in their own team the last couple of years. Right away with a preemptive charge of they got screwed, same as last year. Pathetic.

I wouldn't mind seeing Wilborn get a few more minutes even with the fouls.

Duquesne has the THIRD WORST 3 point defense percentage in Division 1. 47%!!!!! 

Having watched those 3 games, I would have guessed the percentage was over 50. Lots of  the 3-pointers that didn't drop ended up as put-back deuces.
 

Lots of damage done late in the shot clock.

It seemed to me that in the early years of Palumbo too many events of all kinds were being held, probably for financial reasons. Anyway, the results were the building and facilities aged quickly. I think there is a much smarter approach with regard to the Coop. A concert now and then would probably be OK.

The NEC is one of the only conferences that would allow the Dukes to participate with a field the size of Rooney. We are the smallest seating capacity of any FCS or FBS in the nation.

That's a fixable problem if there are any viable options. I think there might be other roadblocks to overcome, but seating capacity shouldn't be a deal breaker. Seems like putting the cart before the horse.

Once Again The Duquesne Game Does Not Come On As Scheduled -  This Week The Message Says The Game Has Been Deleted.   however There Is No Problem With Viewing The Other 2 Games I Wonder If It Relates To DU Being In The NEC For Football Only.

I get the feeling the Dukes and the NEC are not on the best of terms. Time to pursue some other option.
