Re: Game Thread - Radford Highlanders

So we're both terrible at the stripe so far?

No, it means that both teams do not get to the FT line very often.
Teams that get to the foul line more and don’t send their opponents to the FT line have a higher likelihood of winning.

BTW. Radford is shooting 75.0% from the FT line, 64th in the country. The Dukes not so good; 62.2% - 271 in the country. Small sample size though.

Re: Game Thread - Radford Highlanders

U8 TO in 1st, Dukes 26, Radford 21. Been all Lewis (10) and Big Mike (8).

Hughes picked up a TF, though.

Re: Game Thread - Radford Highlanders

Carry has 3 TOs this half.

What the deuce?

Re: Game Thread - Radford Highlanders

U4, Dukes 29-26. DU has 5 TOs this half.

Re: Game Thread - Radford Highlanders

Too many sloppy turnovers and missed layups. Could be up by ten here.

Wade, 3 TOs and 2 fouls. Poor point guard play won't cut it.

Re: Game Thread - Radford Highlanders

Radford up 36-34 at the half. Wasn't a great half for us outside of Mike Lewis (12) and Michael Hughes (8). Our 3 PGs have combined for 7 TOs. Eric Williams Jr. is 1-7 from the field. Maybe let someone else shoot in the second half.

Re: Game Thread - Radford Highlanders

U16 2nd half down 3, 41-38.

 

11/17/2018 1:22 pm  #12


Re: Game Thread - Radford Highlanders

U12 down 45-44.

Re: Game Thread - Radford Highlanders

Anybody else trying to listen to both football and basketball games at the same time with statcasts on both? 

Both games are close so far.

Re: Game Thread - Radford Highlanders

U8 down 53-52. EWJr starting to come alive. Williams and Weathers now with 8 and 8 each. Carry has 5 TOs and is not looking to shoot.

Re: Game Thread - Radford Highlanders

55-53 Dukes, <6 to play.

 

11/17/2018 1:37 pm  #16


Re: Game Thread - Radford Highlanders

Big problem: Under 60% FTs, 38% shooting, but 38% from 3 (would be better, but Lewis 1-7).

Re: Game Thread - Radford Highlanders

Nail biting time!

Re: Game Thread - Radford Highlanders

U4, Duquesne leads 60-53. Lewis 15, Big Mike 10, Williams/Weathers/F. Hughes with 8 each. Ray and Jarret think Carry may have an injured wing.

 

11/17/2018 1:46 pm  #19


Re: Game Thread - Radford Highlanders

Up 63-57 with 2:23 to go. Carry has 6 TOs, having come down to earth after his impressive 2-game debut.

 

11/17/2018 1:53 pm  #20


Re: Game Thread - Radford Highlanders

66-61 Dukes with 34 secs.

 

11/17/2018 1:55 pm  #21


Re: Game Thread - Radford Highlanders

Radford came down to earth also, which allowed the Dukes to hang in there while playing sub-par basketball.

Re: Game Thread - Radford Highlanders

69-64 Dukes. Another terrible game. Should have beaten this team by 20! 

Kidding, of course. GREAT WIN DUKES!

Re: Game Thread - Radford Highlanders

Hurrah for the undefeated Red and Blue!

Re: Game Thread - Radford Highlanders

Ray & Jarrett saying S. Carry was playing hurt.  Something about a shoulder issue.

Re: Game Thread - Radford Highlanders

Great win considering we were far from our best today. Point guard play was lacking, but the guys hung in there and played great defense.
