Offline For those of us who have raised our expectations, this is a key game. To be a mid level team (8 to 10 wins), we have to beat mid level teams and lower, at home, and beat weak teams on the road. We have started well with regard to the first part, but we need this road win tomorrow. If we can't beat Fordham on the road, who will we beat there? Beat Fordham, and then you can start thinking about beating SLU, and St. Joe's.

I thought I saw someone on Twitter saying something about a viewing party but can’t locate the tweet Offline Dukes had a taste of the 1-3-1 zone vs GW and now a steady dose of it vs Fordham. Just need to take care of the ball. Online! Looks like another slobberknocker. Teams shooting 45% from the 2 against them but only 31% from the 3. They shoot 28% from the 3 but have 3 guys hitting at 37%. Duo of Tavares and Chartouny having really good seasons. Chartouny gets almost 4 steals per game.

Last edited by PhoenixRising2 (1/06/2018 10:30 am) Offline Odds Shark betting line game final score predictor format has the Dukes winning by a score of 70-64. This, despite most betting lines giving the Dukes 1.5 points with an O/U of 133.5 Go figure!! Offline Fordham will score 59. Can we score 60? Offline From what I see from the ranking formulas like the Power Rankings on the Real Time RPI site, the systems don't know how to compute the lack of a Duquesne road record even though they have a much higher rating (126 to 217 currently over Fordham).

Yeah I had a hunch that "No road record at all" thing was going to mess the statistical analysis. So, just saying if we win today, our RPI should go up a decent chunk?

Last edited by coffee (1/06/2018 11:27 am) Offline Mike Lewis is due for a big day. I'd like to see him go on one of his tears in the first half and give us an early lead. The Dukes have played well with the lead this year. Online! I'm predicting a Krivacevic sighting today. Look's like Fordham has a couple of Euro's. Maybe our Euro get's a couple of minutes. Offline Thought for a minute I tuned into a business site there, WashPaRick. Offline Live rpi has our expected record up to 17-14. Offline Excited to watch the team on tv today! Hoping to see the defensive intensity and effort come with us on the road. Looking to see the experienced guards lead the team offensively and is to play tough under the basket on both sides of the ball. Want to see Lewis and Williams have another big day.

I think the defense matches up well statistically. They shoot a ton from deep and they aren't good at all at it. I do feel teams that spread us out like San Francisco but more so Cornell and pitt gave us some major issues, so hopefully we don't see a lot of back cuts beating our guys for easy lay-ins.

Fordham' home record is highlighted as a favorable advantage over the Dukes as is Duquesne's road record as winless- techically they are.
Power Ranking data page is here -
It's unheard of to not play away until this late but KD probably needed time before he set the challenge. The guy thinks way ahead of the rest of us!

Unfortunately, I don't think that the Regular RPI will be influenced by the new road record alone. However, the RPI Power Rankings should since the power rankings were developed as a "predictor" when so many complained that the traditional RPI traditional formula was not as accurate as other services.
"RPI" for Dukes is only 224 and punished our weak schedule inordinately.
"RPI Power Rankings" put us at a much higher 126.

Should be a win if we can continue together do what we've been doing.

Dukes to win outright... can't imagine why the Rams are even favored.
