Most impressive stat like Ray and Jarrett said was Lewis with 20 points on 9 shots from the floor. Taylor and Williams also came up big late. Battlers like Durham said.

Seven in a row.  Let's make it an even eight tomorrow night against the Salukis.

Let's Go Duquesne!

Dambrot is so knowledgeable and refreshing to listen to,

El Duque  I agree about the ratio but I totally credit Dons defense.  Coach would likely disagree but personally I give SF a lot of credit.

Great game by squad. Not a big fan of chase brown but love how T. Smith is playing. Refs called the game way to close.

Defense is incredible and we have been playing great in crunch time. Offens looks awkward at some times

Calling a game too close is one issue. Calling a foul in the closing moments of a game when there is actually no contact is what I called disgraceful. The FS2 announcers, one of whom covers the conference in which SF plays, noted that the call was wrong before they even saw the replay. 

Alright, to use the hated word: "whatever". The win was big, another step up for a program on track with a great coach and staff. 

Hoping JRob is OK.

So happy for the guys who stayed with the program and decided not to leave Duquesne.Dukes play defense
and it is almost hard to believe the difference from last years team to this team. WOW. Dukes show toughness,poise against a pretty good SF team,tough shots  from LEWIS and you see the brillliance amd talent of Williams. When he develops his body ,wow.All the guys have shown marked improvement.Thanks again to all those players who decided to stay,you are an inspiration

Gonna be a tough one tomorrow night. The Salukis are good. Scottie Pippen's nephew is a handful down low. Hopefully Jordan is ok to go.

Loved the defensive pressure. Man to man and in your face man to man.

THIS!!!  This is the hallmark of KD.  You can always count on effort and D.

I ended up picking it up on my old radio (LOL) and glad I did.  Thanks for the suggestions though guys, I'll try to stream tomorrow's game on the internet.  The last 8 minutes when SF cut the big lead and actually took the lead I said well there is the "punch in the face" to quote KD and I texted my buddy and said let's see how we respond and we pulled it out.  Great ghosts alive, 7 in a row!  This is not your same old Dukes boys, I don't care who we are playing and this SF team was pretty decent.  We lose this game under prior regimes, no question.  Basically KD is winning with players that JF couldn't.  KD really calls it like it is and I love listening to his post-game.  He is realistic, but he has his team believing and he gets them to play hard to the end and to their credit they have responded to him.  As KD said this SF team was probably a middle of the pack A-10 (he compared them to GW and GMason) and my belief is we can compete with any middle of the pack A-10 teams THIS YEAR!  This team is gritty fellas and I can see us finishing a lot higher in the conference than the so called experts predicted.  Congrats to the guys and the staff!  GO DUKES!  

I don’t post often, usually just follow along with the discussion, but I have to say, this team is fun to watch again. I can’t remember the last time I looked forward to watching them like I do now.

Dambrot has been all he was hyped to be thus far, Ferry’s team lose that game ten out of ten times after blowing a double digit lead like that. That was his hallmark.

Looks like we dodged a bullet in not drawing Nevada. They are really good. They are better than any A10 team this year (I believe they already beat URI). Top 25 team.

Dodged meaning we cant lose to a bad team?   Lets beat'em!
