    One thought...the last game the Dukes were also favored by a large margin and played poorly...almost lost.  So, please don’t skip over this one...hopefully the Dukes will play well tonight.

    Played some good teams and were blown out. Lost their exhibition to a d 3 school. Only win is against a non d1 team. Only lost to Longwood by 3.

    Idk, we should crush this team.

    The more interesting question would be whether or not we could break into the top 100 if we swept the rest of the OOC. I get that’s a really tough ask, but if we beat PSU next week I could see it happening barring any letdowns. We just seem to be stuck in this 165-150 range.

    Not enough good wins left. Beating Penn state won't be enough to get us to 100 and the only other team that's somewhat competent is NJIT. It's hard to make significant jumps just by pounding on teams in the 320s.

    Doesnt matter. Pound this team into next week

    We should beat UMES.
    MY concern is if the players listen to KD who, I assume, has told the team
    that they must play hard to win even against apparently a weak opponent.
    More examples, see Pittsburgh Steelers.

    Well, there are 11 players, if at least 5 dont listen to their cosch, something massive is wrong.   This is an odd time of year, bad opponent, finals, xmas around the corner.  Some guys might not be locked in, but its nice now having depth/options.

    Williams might be last off the bench.

    Lamar Norman Jr. with 11 pts (3-of-3 3FG) & 7 boards at the break. No question he has earned more minutes. This kid is special.

    Was outside finishing hanging the Christmas lights and only tuned in about 6:30 my time.  Dukes up by 19, and then they got sloppy and let them back into it (sort of)  I bet Dambrot is lighting them up for this in the locker room.

    I have to think KD is not happy with the sloppy unforced turnovers that let UMES make a little surge back.

    Dunn Martin not playing for disciplinary reasons per
    Zach Weiss.
    Not sure about Williams.
    Norman on fire. If Norman continues, the starting lineup may change.

    Both are in now.   I’d like to see them work it in low.

    Down to 10, missinng every shot.  At least KD put carry back in.

    Couple 3s from Frank were much needed.

    That was a very uninspired performance tonight. Maybe it was finals week, but the focus just wasn’t there tonight. Need to start putting together a full 40 minutes as we close in on conference play. The

    Looked like they played like it was their first game of the season.

    DU wins 72-57.
    14 players used.  Carry had the most minutes at 33.
    Nobody else had 30 minutes.
    Dominate the boards.  Not great shooting.
    Ho-hum win that was good because of the number players that played.

    I saw they won by 15 tonight. Totally disgusting. Can't take this program any more. Freshmen with dominating performances. Transfers not disappointing. Not watching this garbage any more.

    Quick: Who am I?

    Probably should have been at least a 30-point win as UMES was pretty awful, but no Mike Hughes and only cameo appearances in the second half by Williams and TDM. Not much of an offensive gameplan besides jacking up 3s, but I guess that's what happens when you take away your two best interior players. Good job staving off embarrassment and getting through this one with an easy, if uninspiring, win.

    Discipline. At least that's what it seems. Coach had a no comment when questioned on post game show.

    15 point win with no Hughes, TDM and Williams limited minutes. Full strength would have been likely a 30 pointer. Oh well.

    The Williams Jr. discipline saga is concerning. I guess it shows Dambrot exerting power but to publicly do so must mean he really wants to send a message. Interesting strategy. Perhaps now is the time to do it before the deluge of conference play.
