There's virtually no information on the players they faced ... some type of all-star team from this league.

Average height 6'2", average age 28.75.

I thought that was Duquesne's lineup we were talking about. Seriously, we play a cupcake non-con, now we're scouring the world for cupcake tours. Someone tell me again why I should care?

Again, while the competition is suspect, I like the fact that the Dukes are putting these teams away. Last year, we weren't impressive even against Shippensburg, only winning by 3 at Palumbo. Tomorrow will be the third game in 3 days. Hope we're not tired.

 Actually I don't suspect this is any competition at all.

Did Micah Mason make this trip? I haven't seen his name in the game recaps, nor seen him in any pictures on the Dukes website.

There's been some speculation about the posssible absence of Micah Mason from the Dukes on their tour of Ireland. I sent Phil Racicot, Interim AD, an e-mail and asked him about Micah's status.  Here's Phil's reply:

"Micah is fine but was unable to make the trip for personal/family reasons.  He had a good summer and will be ready to start the school year when classes begin in a couple of weeks."   
 

 

Remember, Micah has to eat a special diet, I doubt he could take the food with him internationally.
This is a full time thing, not a matter of choice eating this way. I am sure that they make plans for him during road games back home.
