Cant wait to hear Cannon ramble on about Johnson and his ability to shoot it from McKnight Road.

That should add some significant atmosphere to the game. Great idea!

Yes but a win tonight may get them tied for 5th place. A10 huge log jam outside of top 4.

Yes a win would be huge if we want the first day bye.

Corbett can hit a foul shot to save his life so why is he shooting threes? His complaining is so old at this point and his defense stinks tonight.

Not to be a hater but I can’t disagree. It’s pretty obvious. He is gone next year play the next in line players coach Dru.

Good win. Total team effort in second half. Corbett really stepped it up and I happily ate my words. Hronsky, Dixon, and Wilborn awesome as well. 

It was a very entertaining game. Love to see the Dukes scoring inside the 3 point line and at the line. I loved the officiating tonight.  They really let the guys battle. So much contact was allowed on rebounds, drives to the rim, blocked shots etc.  it was a rough one out there - I think Fordham is becoming one of the Dukes better rivals.  The boys took care of business at home tonight. Well done. I’ll be headed up to Olean for the 4p tip on Saturday. Gotta have that one as well.

Really good game by the Dukes tonight. Hronsky and Wilborn both may have played their best games to date of their careers. Wilborn was a beast and just out muscled and outworked the Fordham centers and Hronsky played a fantastic all around game his shooting, rebounding and defense were all good and he saw the floor and passed tremendously tonight. Everyone else played solid and the team played very well after the first five or so minutes. As always Urgo was constantly whining tonight. He is the opposing coach who most annoys me.

I think our depth can work against us if not managed correctly. We have 10 guys who all can do certain things well and share minutes but we need to ride the hot hands more. Last game Hronsky was hot to start and then didn't play for 15 minutes. We need to play the guys who are playing the best more minutes and use the guys that are off on a given tonight more sparingly. Having a shorter bench tonight allowed the guys to get and stay in their rhythm.

I'm hoping we can find the right combination of minutes, get hot at the right time, and make a run in D.C. in a few weeks.

Last year at this point, the Dukes were 6-7 in conf. play. Today, they are 6-7 again in conf. play.  It  really looked like this team is playing good ball these last two games and are deep enough have a decent chance of winning the A-10 again.

I like this post. Solid win. Cool to see Mike James in the fieldhouse too!
