The score looks closer than what it should be. It was a very poorly played half, and it's fortunate the game is not completely out of reach at this point.

for as bad as the dukes looks, we are still in it. if micah and lg can get hot, we can make a nice run and get back in this...
not sure if we are still in this bc we are that good and when we play like crap we can still compete, or if Pitt is pretty bad this year(compared to other years).

really like the way Powell plays. not just athletic ability, but he has some "basketball moves." when was the last time we had a big guy that had legit moves. Robinson is showing some nice moves, but not finishing.

This might be masons worst game as a duke..not just cold shooting but 5 turnovers..

We are getting killed by this Uchebo guy...

Powell is by far the best player in our class.  He actually has some skills down low.  James isn't even noticeable to me, and Robinson stilll seems a little uncomfortable.  

so, is it really a big city game rivalry when one team wins 14 in a row and has surpassed the other on a national level, etc?
i usually get more "up" for bobby mo, dayton, and St bonaventure. 
this game, anymore, is just wishing we can knock off a bcs team(that happens to only be a few miles away)
 

i def think we are all gonna have a love/hate thing going on with stevens.
domo arigato, mr mckoy? 

Uchebo been a stiff all year and we make him look like Willis Reed. Robinson goes for a career high. Could be worst Pitt team in years. Not much good to say about this one. Maybe Powell's play on offense.

Penn St. on the road next. Chambers is in year 4 of his rebuilding plan, and it's beginning to bear fruit. They're probably a better team than Pitt. Needless to say, Bobby Mo is a must win.

Penn State is better than Pitt right now in basketball (as they are in football) and playing up there...I think we are going to get crushed.

Just listen to coach Ferry and he was pissed at his team.  He said they did not rebound,could not defend, and just was not tough enough. I don't know, but to me this has been the same old story since he has been here.  He now has his players so no more excuses.  He said "he is not going to stop", implying that he is going to get harder on these guys "to get this fixed".  We will see.

He essentially said the same thing in his pre-game remarks as his post game remarks.  He gave the excuse before the game.  It is a self fulfilling prophecy.

I have sort of tuned him out.

Umass Lowell St. Francis & Bobby Mo will tell the tail as to this team. Pitt is down this year the Dukes lost an opportunity for a win. Amodio is 0-10 vs. Duquesnes long term rival The University Of Pittsburgh. He needs to pick up his game against Bobby Mo record 3-6. Not acceptable !

I guess the one good thing that comes from this game is our RPI goes up from playing a tough opponent. We should think about joining the NEC.

This is always a dumb statement. What makes you think we would win in a weaker conference? Remember, few of the current players would have come here to play in the NEC. We might have a crap NEC roster. Then what? In the NEC, you have to win the league to go anywhere. In the A 10, fourth, or fifth place would do. We could end up a crap team in the NEC like St. Francis.

We're a crap team in the A-10. Do you really believe this talent on the team is any better than a good NEC team? Doesn't games such as this one against Pitt show you that? Ferry is failing. These are his recruiting classes and they are not impressive.And this is comparatively a bad Pitt team.
 

Well, that proves my point. If they only have NEC talent while playing in the A 10, what kind of talent do you think they'd have playing in the NEC? They'd likely be St. Francis. I wouldn't even bother to follow them then.
