    And we are undoubtedly on the road because we will be hosting men's tournament on the same day.

    Sagarin has the Dukes ranked at #67 and Youngstown at #108.  With the home court advantage going to YSU, the Dukes would be a 2 1/2 pts. favorite.  

    Hopefully April Robinson will be able to return to her regular season shooting form.  The Dukes need her to be able to can a few 3-pointers to eventually draw YSU's defense out to the perimeter and open up the passing lanes to get the ball into Amadea or Jose-Ann.  In the Dukes' last three games April has experienced a streak of very sub-par shooting:  F-G: 3-24 (12.5%): 3-Pt.: 1-10 (10%), and FT: 4-4 (100%).  This reminds me of the drop off of Micah Mason's shooting during mid-season.  He worked his way out of this slump and finished the season pretty strong.  If the Dukes are to advance far in the WIT, I believe that April must regain confidence in her shooting ability and score at least 15 points a game.
