My favorite thing about the broadcast was when the announcers were talking about what attributes Megan would bring to her team when she gets to the WNBA.  Not if she makes the league, or can she make the league, but what she'll do when she gets there.  I don't recall who the women were that were speaking, but I do know they were former WNBA players who were very high in their praise.

 While we're still primarily a man-to-man team, the switches to zone have been very timely and thrown off opponents countless times this year.

I've noticed that also.  One of those instances happened in the second half when the Bonnies had cut into the lead.  The Dukes switched to a zone and SBU wasn't expecting it.  They passed the ball around then got off a forced shot inside.  We got the rebound and came down the court to score.  Before long we were rebuilding the lead.  A very satisfying win today.

Dixon unbelievable! This team is deep. Dukes off until weds at GW. Maybe Jake can get back. Dukes beat a good guard oriented St Joes team.nice job coach Dru

Jake has been cleared to practice and Jakob is day to day so both may be in the lineup against GW.

This was a very good win over a strong A-10 team. Well played and balanced all around.  A big change from November.  The thing that I enjoyed most today was watching Kareem dribble out the clock for 25.7 seconds to end it.

It appeared that DiMichelle had the walking boot removed.   Hoping his return is imminent.

I was told that Jake was not wearing the boot last week in Akron so I am hopeful that he may be back for the Cleary game.

Another rough one tonight.  The team has the cohesion of an intramural team.  This could be a long season.

I agree with the consensus about Jake.  My thought is run the offense through him.  He's a scorer and can do it many ways.  Force the other teams to stop him and let that open up opportunities for the rest of the team.  Right now this half court offense just ain't getting it done.

Dan said before the game that his plan was to press them for 40 minutes and wear them down. That worked to perfection!  The Dukes outscored them 20-4 in the 4th for an impressive come from behind win. 
LET'S GO DUKES!!!

What a debut for PJ!  She led her team in scoring with 25 and rebounding with 12.  10/13 from the field, 5/6 from the line and only 1 foul in 33 minutes.  An 88-65 win.

I'm also looking forward to seeing how much progress he has made and I'm also feeling very optimistic.  He and Dixon could be a real force on the floor together for major minutes this coming season.

Every player's height is exaggerated by at least 2 inches.  Never believe the listed heights.  I was told by my assistant HS BB coach that I was 3 inches taller than I actually was at the time.  When I said that I'm not 6'7" he in no uncertain terms told me that "You don't tell me how tall you are, I tell YOU how tall YOU are!" Never believe what you see in photos of players standing what seems to be beside each other.  The camera angle easily distorts heights.  I have a photo from PJ's graduation party where I'm standing with Stew and one of his Murray State teammates.  From this photo where it seems we're all side by side it looks like I'm 2 inches taller than Stew but actually he's 2 inches taller than me. But I'm just a few inches closer to the photographer so it looks like I'm the tallest of the three.  As our old friend the professional photographer duq81 used to say - a good photographer is one who knows how to make the camera lie.  That's why he was able to make so much money taking portraits of pretty women.

Are we going to play another game in Akron at Lebron James Arena?

I know some people did not like this event for reasons already hashed out! I for one liked this game. Attending several and really enjoyed our group going!

Go Dukes can’t wait for season!

I'd be fine with establishing a home and home tradition with the Zips.
