We need fans in the stands,ask your family friends neighbors to watch the Dukes
 

Think this one will resemble the Clevland State and Princeton games in terms of excitement and the closeness of the score.

Looking like they haven't played in a week.

Call me crazy but the referees were very kind to Duquesne tonight. Justice after the Nebraska crime scene. Go Dukes

I thought we decided after an earlier game not to inbound it to Dixon with the game on the line.

It surprised me too that Dixon was in at the end when UCI was going to foul, and they put Dixon at the line up by 3 with seconds left, then he put both in.  Go figure.

Great win.  Really nice to see a win where we didn’t light it up from outside. Still too many misses from right at the basket but they scored when they had to. Savrosov and Dixon shined!  They played tough and exerted their will.  Dixon really grew up a lot tonight. We’ll need that inside strength when the conference games start. We are starting to see what Savrosov can bring to this team. If he can be more consistent he will be a major player for this team. I loved the way the refs let them play tonight. We may have gotten the edge with the calls but it was very consistent throughout. No cheap fouls either way really and when UC got called for a seemingly cheap one late they immediately evened it up the next time down.  It was obvious Jimmy made an effort not to get into foul trouble regardless of the leniency the refs allowed. That was great to see. Kareem hit some big shots but he also threw some possessions away. He continues to impress me though not only by the shots he is hitting but also by not trying to do too much. Just a very satisfying win against a good team. I’m excited about what comes next for these guys.

Anyone thinking this is the “same old Dukes” needs to watch that game again. We had the lead for probably 3/4 of the game. It did get closer than I’d like, but we finished off a team that beat USC a couple weeks ago. Most notably we beat that quality opponent despite Dae Dae and Clark combining for less than the 20 Grant usually scores himself. This team is different. Of course there’s a lot of room between the Dukes of old and a tourney team, but I think we’re closer to the latter than the former.

BluffHunter, here’s the coach from Merrimack ripping the officiating after a 2 point loss at Georgetown. Some ref called a BS technical on the coach with less than 2 minutes left in the game. Georgetown also shot twice as many FT’s (42-21).
Worth the watch.

This is too good. A coach is saying “this is a problem in college basketball.”  If it is so rampant you have to wonder where it’s coming from.  But it is a real thing for sure. I love this coach for saying it and I love his point about the NCAA tournament
