8:00pm tip on Wednesday 12/04/2017 at AJ Palumbo Center Thanks for sharing these updates Phoenix...Dukes try to build a little momentum and I need this 1 to get to 17! Hahaha I realize that I may have been overly optimistic about win total but also not sure how A10 is this year either ! We'll see and thanks again Should be challenging game. Stetson has had some decent results so far, but three of their six wins have come against non-D1 teams. If Chas Brown can continue to give us an inside presence and Verhoeven can get off the bench (played only 7 minutes against UMES), we can do well tonight. Take the Dukes minus 6. Bet Under 150. Dukes will come back to earth as far as shooting, and Stetson will play tougher Defense If Chas Brown can continue to give us an inside presence and Verhoeven can get off the bench (played only 7 minutes against UMES), we can do well tonight. Not sure the Verhoeven thing wasn't tactical rest on Dambrots part. Kid has played almost every minute of every game so far, why not scale back the minutes against probably the worst team on the schedule.

Not sure the Verhoeven thing wasn't tactical rest on Dambrots part. Kid has played almost every minute of every game so far, why not scale back the minutes against probably the worst team on the schedule. I think Krivacevic will provide some good depth up front; however, his JC numbers don't support the proposition that he could become a starter. Possible, but improbable. As for Tydus, in the E. Shore game he was restricted in floor time by quickly picking up quick (in some cases questionable-call) fouls. It was quite like the first game of the season, when he fouled out after not many minutes on the floor. On the other hand, in games in which he has logged a lot of minutes, I don't think he has shown signs of fatigue.

Gotcha didn't go watched the last game on the phone intermittently between watching the steelers game. Brown plays like a true post, as he continues to get into game shape I bet more of the offense will start with him. I think he will get the ball out to open shooters like Lewis II, Castro-Cannedy and Williams ,Jr. Fouling out of a game in 7 minutes might be close to a record! Just saying. The women took care of business now it's time for the men. Krivacevic dressed Maybe the best half of defense I've seen in my time as a fan. Really, really solid. Fouling out of a game in 7 minutes might be close to a record! Just saying. President. I once fouled out in the first half of high school jv game and when my coach was told of my 4th foul by the assistant he replied " good maybe he will foul out" haha I liked Ray's relating of Dambrot's complaint about every time they go up by 12 or so, instead of waiting, being patient and waiting for the right shot, someone forces a shot and causes a turnover. Kellon Taylor is a good player and a great offensive rebounder....... I thought that he gave them a lift in Pitt game and plays hard.Again watching him in football games and sidelines he sometimes "debates " his coaches and teammates. I like his passion and know he is good athlete and bonus that he is on football scholarship too! Eric Williams will lead the A10 in rebounds per game by the end of the night. What a player this guy is Eric Williams will lead the A10 in rebounds per game by the end of the night. What a player this guy is I love this kid, but he is one of those guys who drives me nuts. Hits three pointer right and left but can't hit the damn free throw when needed E Williams Jr snags 16 boards along with 11 points and 4 assists Smith 20 pt Lewis II 17 Tarin played his best game in a long while. Good to see. Overall, good effort. A little sloppy in the second half, but a comfortable win against a respectable opponent.

Phildog, as you know, that’s what happens when you have a real basketball coach leading your program. The team and individual players keep getting better. And when you bring in better players...

Exactly what I was thinking as they were a little rocky early in the second half and that 18 point lead was being whittled down, knowing that this was the kind of game Jim Ferry would have let slip away in the last two years.

Think we'll actually be decently ok down low once we are working with Verhoeven, Robinson, Taylor, and a healthy Brown and Krivacevic. That's decent enough depth and wouldn't be surprised if as the season goes on the starting 4 and 5 is Krivacevic and Brown.

He grabs rebounds like a man and doesn't hesitate to power up for the inside deuce .
I liked the passing on the offense and the curtailment of the Smith-Castro dribbling exhibition , and going from 11 first half turnovers to 0 second half.
