What a garbage show. They should have beat this team by 20.

In past years we would be 0-2 after these two games.

We're 2-0, maybe karma is changing.

Egads! Please tell me there was one time in the past 25 years that the Dukes would have won that game. 

I thought Ferry was coaching again as we ran to give hi fives as a wide open man sank 3 pointer after 3 pointer, but the defense applied enough late pressure (just enough) to shut it down. Who would have figured that Lamar Norman would be on the court for the totality of overtime?

Nice to see Mike Lewis hit his 3 with a minute left and big man Sincere make the tying basket at 0:02.

Its good to have tests early in the season. As Professor Gregory said to me three days before my graduation, "I will give you a gentleman's C-minus."

Awful.  Just awful.

I am an emotional and sometimes terrible fan.  Please don't judge me.  I didn't sit the entire game and even scared my two beagles.  Ritters, I'm glad you showed up to bring some much-needed positivity to the board!

Carry needs the bigs to pay attention to his passing.   ALWAYS be expecting it.  Carry has great vision and played better that any freshman point guard I've ever seen.  No weaknesses.

Gotta Be there to Believe it!!!!!!!!!!!

That was fun, huh?    I think we got ourselves a PG.

Wow, another Maalox moment.  But, I think this game showed the strength and versatility of Duquesne's team.  W&M and UIC played very differently.  Our big men were much more suited against a team like W&M.  Tonight we needed speed and at the end it was Carry, Williams, Norman, Lewis and Weathers on the floor.

It is amazing that we have two players of high caliber - Williams and Carry who received no consideration from D1 level teams.  Who on the coaching staff is finding these guys? 

I listened to Carry on the post-game.  He seems like a really humble person.  Physically, though, he looks like the oldest freshman in the country.  He looks like he played in the NBA for 10 years.  If he keeps it up, they will be talking about him as one of the best point guards in the A10.  Does anyone have any insight into how, after leading his school to the Ohio State Championship, he didn't get any D1 offers from a state that includes Ohio State, Xavier, Cincinnati, and Dayton?

It makes absolutely no sense to me.  Even when I saw his recruitment videos I thought he looked so physically imposing with such a strong handle.  How all of those coaches could miss on him is beyond me.  At the very least, smaller schools like Wright State or something should have offered him! 

I'm not complaining though!

SC is playing like a stud fifth year senior, wow is all I can say.  What a steal of a recruit.  Lamar got some action and he was indeed a huge boost.  Lamar needs to start getting some of Dunn Martin's minutes - especially if DM is shooting 0-8.  I like SC and Wade at point and whoever is playing D and is shooting well, and tonight that was Lamar, should get the most time at the two.  ML needs to contribute more and I hope he does.  Maybe the big 3 will give him some mojo back, but he needs to play D.  Lamar made at least 3 really good  defensive plays when he was in there.  KD will start to figure out the rotation.

The nice thing about having 12 talented guys in the rotation is that you can count on at least two or three of them to play well each game. It will allow KD to ride the hot hand(s). There are just so many options.
