Re: Nice Press for Players

This list should motivate Dixon big time. Hope he saw this ridiculous list.

Re: Nice Press for Players

Wow. When was the last time the Dukes had this kind of recognition?  TG ranked 3rd?!?  Love it

Nothing surprising here. TG should be ranked #1 if it was statistically speaking. Jimmie top 8. Dixon not listed in top 55 is just silly and mind blowing. Necas at #43 is deserved, but he needs to be better. Top 10 talent. Alex Williams more like top 30 if you take away the first half of the season. NO surprises here. This team is right up there with USL and VCU in terms of talent, and were just getting started in the positive results lately. This team has the highest ceiling. USL and VCU ain't going any higher.

Consistency.  That’s all this team lacks.  I’d argue Jimmy has been the most consistent all year. And TG has the highest ceiling.  The momentum is with us right now.  Can’t afford a let down in Olean - I’ll be there by the way.  What I really like seeing is the Dukes recent ability to score different ways. We don’t need to rely on the the 3 ball falling.  But this team has a penchant for laying an egg for extended periods of a game.  All teams have to deal with runs by the other team but the Dukes seem to lose defensive discipline for big whacks of a game and get lazy on offense with sloppy passes and standing around.  Haven’t seen a lot of that recently though.  If they can consistently play their game I think they are a top 3 team in the league.

Agree with that assessment, but they seem to be making strides. Saturday will tell us a lot about this team no doubt. Need to grab the loose balls and hit the wide open layups. Need to be in their face all day on defense. Got to rebound and hit our free throws. Doubt were getting any calls never do in Olean so I think the zone could be the key. Got to win this one and the next, and the next. One at a time

Re: Nice Press for Players

This teams consistency seems to improve when we play less players. Subbing in too many players and too often seems to break momentum. I'm hoping for a win Sat. to prove this team has improved and can be a contender for the A-10 tourney.

Re: Nice Press for Players

Because of the early season struggles & the Hugley saga, just about  every remaining game is a huge one. This team simply cannot lay an egg tomorrow & expect to make something out  of the season.

I have been among the Bonnie faithful since I was 4 years old. I am heading home now for the game. I desperately want the Dukes to blow the Bonnies out!
