7:00pm tip on Monday 12/04/2017 at AJ Palumbo Center Well this is one of the few games so far that I feel comfortable EXPECTING to win. They should pull this one out over a terrible UMES team. Giving up the first half of Steelers game to root for our Dukes. Expecting to see a better all around performance from the team. Brown needs to get back in form. It will probably take at least a game or two. Five minutes in the last game doesn't count for much even though he had 3 rebounds I believe. I do think that we will see continued defensive improvement as the season plays out. Small crowd tonight for sure. All in and GO DUKES!! Lewis has his shot so far - albeit against a poor D. Maryland Eastern Shore couldn't hit water if they fell out of a boat! Chas Brown is a MAN down low. Chas Brown is a beast! With him and Verhoven, we are going to cause some teams some problems in the paint. Two awesome shot blockers Chas Brown is a beast! With him and Verhoven, we are going to cause some teams some problems in the paint. Two awesome shot blockers Don't forget 6'9" Krivacevic coming soon. Don't know what to expect from him but added height and depth will be a welcome addition. Last edited by Duques102 (12/04/2017 8:41 pm) Lewis II 29 points, Williams Jr. 24-11, Chas Brown 8-7 and a couple of swats in limited time, Smith 10, Taylor 8 boards and 7 assists. Hadn't seen a start-to-finish shellacking like that since the UMass game last year. What a start by ML2. What a player is Williams. Good all around game. Kellon Taylor with 7 assists. Yeah UMES is bad but... very interesting that they feel healthy enough to run a full court press at times. i love it if the team feels they have the body and energy to keep up with it. Another impressive game from Eric Williams, Jr. Chas Brown is a beast! With him and Verhoven, we are going to cause some teams some problems in the paint. Two awesome shot blockers Don't forget 6'9" Krivacevic coming soon. Don't know what to expect from him but added height and depth will be a welcome addition. If I'm remembering his video accurately he seemed to be pretty athletic. Didn't have very good numbers in juco. Eric Williams is playing as well as any freshman I've seen at Duquesne since Khorie Hlede(sp?). Eric Williams is playing as well as any freshman I've seen at Duquesne since Khorie Hlede(sp?). He is the best freshman I have seen since TJ (although the two mikes were pretty good last year). The best part is that Eric looks like he has improved every single game. It's a shame we won't have Chas for another year. He is a grown man. I can't remember the last Duquesne player that was built like him. As I watched Chas Brown in the second half, the rust was coming off and he manhandled the "Shore" post players inside. He grabbed rebounds and powered up, even the shots he missed were close. Eric Williams is playing as well as any freshman I've seen at Duquesne since Khorie Hlede(sp?). Pipkins? The late and great coach Al McGuire always said bring one blue chipper in a year. This was back in the day when players didn't jump all over the place even though he did lose center Jim Cones to the NBA early. Eric Williams, Jr. sure looks like a blue chipper to me! Wonder who will come in next year and be that one great addition to the team. The late and great coach Al McGuire always said bring one blue chipper in a year.

Wonder who will come in next year and be that one great addition to the team. Al was right, one blue chip a year is good to go. Still, there may be more than one next year among the highly regarded (and large, in numbers and in size) group of recruits and transfers. Eric Williams is playing as well as any freshman I've seen at Duquesne since Khorie Hlede(sp?). Pipkins? He's a contender. Robert Mitchell had a pretty good freshman year.

Korie Hlede averaged 24.2 pts. 7.96 reb. 5.8 a. as a freshman we'll probably never see those numbers again unless Lebron's son shows up on the bluff. In terms of men’s basketball Eric is up there as an overall force.. doesn’t pass so great yet but showed signs last game

Expecting attendance to be pretty rough with the Steelers also playing in prime time tonight.

Wish some of these shots fell on Friday, but I digress.

Re: Game Thread - Maryland Eastern Shore
- ball movement would have looked better against anyone.
- team shot an elevated 48% from three, but the amount of open looks they earned, 48% doesn't seem as crazy.
- defense is still a work in progress but the intermittent full court pressure seemed to set up a better half court set for much of the first half.
