Big game, win one on the road would be nice, and keep momentum going in our direction.  Would love to see Dixon not even sniff foul trouble, and put up a big stat sheet stuffer kind of day.   

URI seems to be all over the place in terms of winning & losing streaks/ who they beat & who they lose to/ home vs. road..

David Green has been pretty great since becoming eligible 9 games ago but the Rams are only 5-4 with him in the lineup. He is going to be a hard matchup for somebody.

This is another win the Dukes have to have if they are to end the season in the top half of the conference. C'mon offense!

If they don’t come out so sloppy Dukes are in firm control of this game.  Nice to see the 3s falling.

Excellent first half for Kareem

and great minutes from Chabi

Dixon must regroup for a big second half. Gonna need him.

Dukes shot 3's with a purpose. I think great D keep RI behind all day, but our offensive game plan looked more aggressive and open 3's were not passed up. Great win. Dae Dae looked great. Another solid games from Dixon. Clark and Rozier were great. Tre Williams had great D and some scoring. Just one amazing game.

And 25 posters disappeared (those that only post after a loss or poor performance). Nice W by the Dukes; game is fun and defense a little easier to play when the Shots are falling.

And that switch to zone in the second half for a while was great. I think it stopped RI's run.

Great total team effort today. Was extremely impressed with Rozier's play drawing a huge offensive foul in the first half, grabbing loose rebounds with authority in key spots, and of course the alley oops. The Dukes can beat anyone when their threes are falling. Williams, Dixon, F Drame, and the entire frontcourt defended and boxed out well. Keep it going versus Davidson!

He was awesome as you pointed out Ray. He actually drew 2 other offensive fouls in that first half as well. One illegal screen, one charge, and one push off. Unbelievable effort from the young man today, and so many others were excellent as well.

Dae Dae’s Day!  He was really feeling it.  Kareem’s best game of the season.  He was in control all day, worked tirelessly on defense and hit the biggest shot of the game to stunt the run by URI, followed up by mJimmy taking over on defense and URI was toast.  Some big blocks by Dixon, and good minutes from Chabi and Dusan.  Jake found his stroke again from 3 and played his usual steady game.  Dave struggled mightily on offense today, but good to see that he didn’t quit. 
Nice call by KD to go zone and confuse URI and little Archie!

I like the # of guys used today. And if Dae Dae shoots like that from here on out... look out. He was feeling it today, what a fun game to watch. Aaaaand this was on USA today, way to shine under those bright TV lights. Normally I feel when we are on national TV we poop the bed. Today we made the bed, cleaned the house, and did the laundry. Nice win, now let's keep building on this. Starting with Davidson at home. That loss at the end of the year last year... I still have a bad taste in my mouth from.
