Offline 8:30pm EST tip on Saturday 12/23/2017 at Orleans Arena Las Vegas, NV (neutral site) Offline A Classic Rant A Classic Rant Offline I've always wondered if the players hear these post-game rants at times. So, if they heard this one it will have them go out and be motivated and play their best game ever...or not!! Offline A Classic Rant The rant went on for about 5 minutes (you can find the full version on YouTube) - he also referenced his wife when talking about rebounding - to paraphrase “as I’ve told my wife for all these years, size doesn’t matter”. Offline I've always wondered if the players hear these post-game rants at times. So, if they heard this one it will have them go out and be motivated and play their best game ever...or not!! FAM, since this rant was from 2013 and this loss to Murray St. dropped them to 2-8 on the season, we can see that... The Salukis proceeded to win their next 2 and finished 12-11 the rest of the way. The rant probably helped Hinson’s mental health more than his team. Online! Looks like Dukes missed their wake up call. Offline Refs missed their wake up call too. Online! I see signs of life. Offline I can't pick up Ray's play-by-play on WJAS online for some reason, so I'm listening to the SIU broadcast. One of their announcers keeps referring to Duquesne as Du-coin. It's hilarious. Online! Refs missed their wake up call too. I see what you mean. Looked like the refs started getting nervous when we went up by 3. Offline Poor first half for everyone not named tarin smith. Poor officiating hasn't helped either. Offline Dukes outrebounded SIU 21-10, but was offset by 8 turnovers to 3 by SIU. Need more out of our centers - Brown and Robinson combined for 2 points and 4 rebounds. Hope Lewis II has another good 2nd half in him. Offline Maybe Mike Lewis will get going now. Offline Nice follow-up by JRob. Dukes cut it to two. Online! Hey now. Offline C'mon Dukes. Let's make it eight straight and give our long-suffering fans an early Christmas present. Offline Dukes now outrebounding the Salukis 29-12. Offline Mike is warming up. Offline Tarin! Offline Tarin now has nineteen! Online! Another phantom foul. Offline Even the SIU announcer remarked that "Dambrot saw better calls than that in the Mid-American Conference." Last edited by IronDukes12 (12/23/2017 9:58 pm) Online! Guys are playing hard gotta gut out another one. Online! Williams with a little sweet chin music..
