    It will interesting to see how our Dukes will stack up against Hurleys squad of the Conference Leader.

    Time to remember he was hired at Rhode Island at the same time Ferry came to Duquesne, RI has arrived and thanks to KD we are coming on strong. And Ferry is an Assitant Coach at the "Beloved Penn State ?"  sitting next to Head Coach looking as lost as he did at Duquesne.

    Chambers was chosen over Ron at Penn St., and Ferry replaced Ron at Duquesne. Maybe Penn St. will replace the clown show with Ron this time.

    I wish Ron all the best. Penn State would have itself a fine coach.

    Happy to have Coach Dambrot on The Bluff. Facing the Golden State Warriors of the A10 on their court today. Wishing our guys their game of the year. #SignatureWin

    Re: Game Thread - Rhode Island Rams

    The Dukes are a different team when Mike and Renee are both hitting and can win this one if they are.  The loss to Richmond shows the result of their inconsistent marksmanship and ball handling.   

    Eric, on the other hand has been consistent for a lesser part has Tarin.

    Underneath, the Dukes have to avoid fouling out.  Their big guy tandem play defense but are too slow to a spot avoid fouls and sometimes put Tydus in a bad position of playing against heavier big men.  He's more or a cruiser than a battleship.

    Keys are-
    field goal percentage, particularly from outside
    Avoiding turnovers
    Consistent defense without fouling out.

    Besides Chas Brown who is having another terrible game, this team looks great offensively and defensively. I think we match up well with URI.

    Really solid half, but our offense stagnated big time in the last five minutes. Sloppy play. Need a quick start in the second half.

    Maybe so.  They are 18 point underdogs after all.  I think I would let Chas Brown rest for the second half.

    My prayer for the next 1 1/2 hours, PLEASE KEEP CBROWN ON THE BENCH!!  My goodness, he singlehandedly killed our momentum in the first half!  In one sequence I think he missed a bunny, threw another bad pass and then did his usual foul on the screen.  I'm sorry, but he is turning into a complete liability and is either fouling, turning the ball over or missing 1' shots.  Unless major foul trouble play JRob, who made a great shot to slow their Mo, and Tydus the whole second half.

    Agree 100% too much of a liability. Good start to the 2nd.

    Need a basket badly. We go through these periods where no one moves on offense.

    0, 4 and 55 arent good.  55 makes so many bad mistakes.   4 dribbles so damn much no one else is involved.   Williams and Lewis have to beg for the ball cause 4 is off dribblng 25 ft away from the basket.   But KD has to play him cause TS isnt better.

    Chas made one then missed the next one four feet out. We’re gassed. Need a miracle.
