4:00pm EST tip on Saturday 02/23/2019 at EagleBank Arena, Fairfax, VA I’m assuming either Carry is not playing or their 4 or so guys that are dtd are all playing based on the expected 4 point loss. If everyone was healthy for both squads I'd expect the Dukes to be getting at least 6 on the road. Carry is probably a game time decision. He wont know how he is until he runs, jumps, makes cuts. I sure hope he’s good to go. With a win today, the Dukes will be at the minimum tied for 4th place and possibly tied for 3rd place. Sin not starting today. TDM is. Not sure on his status for the game. What an embarrassing 10 minutes. These refs continue to put Hughes in first half foul trouble. Two more garbage calls on him to start this game. Frustrating, let the kid play. Are there no barbershops at G Mason? Massive win!!!! What an effort without carry. TDM and Frankie were great. Great win for the Dukes! Gutsy!!!!! Hot damn! Last edited by townsonkid (2/23/2019 6:14 pm) What a win - Go Dukes! Wow 13 comments on the best win of the year. Pathetic! Hey I think I might start a thread about how we shouldn't have fired Ron Everhart to get some posts here. Fantastic win. Never count them out. This win makes up for the LAS loss. I expected the refs to call a ticky-tac last second foul. Kudos to them for allowing the players decide the winner. These massive Duquesne comebacks Great win. The comeback kids did it again. WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!!!!!This Duquesne team will be remembered for changing the culture establishing Does anyone recall a previous Duke's team like this one? Certainly not since I've been paying attention. From 1997 to 2018 the Dukes won one game that they trailed by more than 15 points (and god knows there were plenty of those opportunities). In 2019, they've won three. Dukes have the heart of a champion we just punch back and won't we punched .GO BLUFFITES. Best record this late in the year since 1981 when we were 20-8 before losing our last two. Thank you President Gormley and the board of directors as all this excitement wouldn't be taking place without your commitment to basketball at Duquesne. To say this was a great comeback victory is an understatement. The Dukes are not intimidated on the road. These guys are warriors, and only sophomores and freshman. I just wish they would stop spotting the other teams 18 - 20 points. I say we only have 4 more regular season games, let's just go out and win them all.

Gotta admit, I was expecting them to make a shot there. #31 was the last player GMu wanted to have the shot.
My mom is in hospital, sitting with her this morning and early afternoon, i was in need of a boost. This was perfect timing. Great W!!!

One thing that did concern me was the post game interview. Coach made it sound like Carry may not be back this year, he called it “questionable”.

Re: Game Thread - George Mason Patriots
Dukes led only 1:27 of the game.
GMU played well enough to win but the Dukes
showed mental toughness. Great win.
Very bad about Sincere. We can hope he can recover enough to play in the tournament.
