Re: Game Thread - Fordham Rams (A)

Like to see us come out strong and take it to them for 40 minutes but I will take a 1 point win if need be.

Re: Game Thread - Fordham Rams (A)

If anyone in the NYC area is going to the game today and needs a ticket, let me know, we have some extras in our block. Section 112, only $10 vs the $25 box office price. A few of us are meeting at Clinton Hall on East 189th before the game, I'll have tickets there or can meet you at Rose Hill Gym before tipoff.

Re: Game Thread - Fordham Rams (A)

Dukes have to get wins for these next two games. If so they have a solid shot at the 3,4 or 5 spot in the A-10.If a split could end up in the middle of the pack.If they drop this one to Fordham maybe we should all pitch in to pay Dr. Carr to get us long suffering fans off the cliff.🥴 Go Dukes

Absolutely a must win, as is the next one.

I never can remember whether I prefer hot or cold garbage.

Cold garbage doesn't stink as much. The cold shooting is another story.

2-17 from beyond the arc. Almost all clean looks too.

Re: Game Thread - Fordham Rams (A)

Could be a mental thing from the 3. They are pretty much open shots.

Hughes with the Weathers spin.

Re: Game Thread - Fordham Rams (A)

At least we didn't foul the shooter on the 3.

Re: Game Thread - Fordham Rams (A)

Carry was excellent at the end.
Agree, a tough game to watch.
Just win.

Re: Game Thread - Fordham Rams (A)

Good thing they were playing Fordham. They need a lot of work at beating pressure closing out tight games.

Re: Game Thread - Fordham Rams (A)

It was hard to watch at times and frustrating, but the win is the win. No one has had their way with Fordham in Rose Hill, so I'll take the W and take sole possession of fifth with the top 4 in sight.

Sincere with the big winning plays down the stretch.

Re: Game Thread - Fordham Rams (A)

A loss there would have pretty much wrecked the season.

Re: Game Thread - Fordham Rams (A)

I hope we don't play these guys again.
They are beatable but they are tough and
exhausting.

Re: Game Thread - Fordham Rams (A)

Didn’t see the game but looking at the box score on Bleacher Report and it had Maceo Austin with no minutes played.  Is this correct?  If so, what happened?
