Re-JOYCE. Go Drukes DRUquesne?? I like that. I sense possible marketing for that! Yes the hopping up and down was vintage. I agree - this kind of thread is refreshing Yes - and sometimes he would do the “are you ready” twice if he thought we were not sufficiently “into it” Well this is the class of 71 here and I can assure you 100% that it is ahoya . Good points, Phil. I think either scenario has great potential. I was just kind of thinking the “ain’t broke” thoughts Mike expressed. Either way, fun times. Phil - if you are hearing correctly, testing the waters for interest I could support. But the portal activity and the importance of both it and high school talent causes me to support CLK’s assertion that we need to act quickly to keep this current momentum alive. Also, many of our returnees would be important in my mind to retain. Chemistry is an intangible pretty much but is an asset to a winning future. The return of Adams-Woods and the Bonnies play of late makes things appear quite bleak. But hot streaks and/or winning streaks can happen at strange times despite apparently unlikely circumstances. In other words, I am on board for a win. I am guessing there was none. Only 2 days between games so I imagine getting on bus back home was priority. Probably a presser at practice? Not sure. I was getting quite turned off by the negative posts. I will say, though, that I have seen a change. The criticisms seem more thought through and make “basketball sense” and in the majority of cases deserved . It isn’t merely venom Lots of knowledgeable people on the board and I learn interesting angles. Just guess I do not usually have much to add. Happy posting. Committed to Montana No clue but I will say currents are Duquesne and Dayton with Temple the third. Quick first guess and probably stupid. Listed as sophomore on 22-23 GSU roster so I assume two? It came up OK for me. They really changed the appearance - maybe a browser issue? Not sure I am crazy about the new look but I guess have to adapt to it. Good luck. Gram - at Fordham Phoenix. Why was Barre “not available “. Illness? I don’t really belong commenting because I like all our teams. The only time I dislike them is when thy play us. But for the sake of the vote, here are my “least favorite to play” if you want to count it. To me, this has all of the makings of a trap game. I watched Winthrop versus LSU; this is an athletic team with good outside shooters. The Dukes better not be 1) treating this team lightly due to the odds and Winthrop's rankings, 2) celebrating going home for the holidays, and 3) looking forward to Dayton. The coaching staff has to have them ready to play. Phoenix looks like they listened to your warnings! Actually, Richmond had a similar start and led at the half 42-9 over Farleigh Dickinson about a week ago. Many often refer to the Power 6 including the Big East. Semantics. Big East consistently rated ahead of one or two or more Power 5 teams. Where is Zachary Weiss last few games? My favorite was Christopher who did The Village People. Laughed till I cried. Quick change was fun as well. Several days before Thanksgiving this was a story on CNN so media was on it. If you mean the part about the “cover up”, yes that came out later once facts were more known. The Aggies and New Mexico cancelled a home and home hoops series. The Aggies then scheduled a quick game against Simon Fraser, a school near Vancouver BC to replace their two cancelled games. While very comfortable that this is a win, the spread looks too high to me. Admittedly I am basing that on a three point loss these guys had on an SEC court. Yes, it was an in state rival and they got smoked last game but let’s not get too cocky (yet) If Matus can get a double figure game in Kentucky, it sounds like he is a sure fire Rookie of the Week candidate. Phoenix. The game threads are great but I personally have one criticism. And this is only constructive as I am sure all of us appreciate your efforts.

Was a fun game to watch. Cant remember any game for any team in my memory bank that started 29-2
I love the growth of this team. Getting better and more acclimated to playing together every day. Hopefully we can get all of the injured players back soon. Of course then we have the who's playing time to deal with but I'd gladly trade that for no injuries. Now lets attack the A10 and go from there to the Post Season. (My Xmas wish list)
Go Dukes

The criticism boils down to “too much information “. Perhaps suggestions could be made regarding what to include. I am a career numbers guy but I have limits. I defer to others to hear their thoughts on inclusions but I mainly want rankings as well as relevant stats on opponents so I can watch for them. Bottom line is whatever works for your schedule is fine with me. Your diligence is most appreciated regardless.
