    They are tired...hurt...and Coach should have went to a zone to give them a break and try something different...but his stubborn streak is hurting the team.  As I said before, obviously he hasn't taught them how to use a zone well or he would and they would...but they don't stink.

    I was worried about this game. And I'm worried about the LaSalle game. February swoon???

    Have you ever seen a team that whines so much after a foul or turnover. Zero mental toughness. No sense of urgency. Fordham is not Virginia or Duke

    Was watching on ESPN +. Turned it off a little past the 1/2 way mark of the 1st half. Just checked the score. Things are no better. No Rhode Island comeback today. I guess the moment of truth has arrived, although I certainly don't think that they don't have a few good games left in them.

    Never turn off a Duquesne game before it's over!

    This team is something else. TDM is such a difference maker. Glad to see him healthy again. Eric Williams showed up in the second half too, while weathers kept us alive earlier in the game.

    Once again, another incredible comeback. TDM was such a spark in the second half and great to see him back to more regular minutes. Weathers kept them in there and I thought EW was solid as well.

    Thrilled with the comeback and also relieved after Wednesday. La Salle is playing good ball right now so it'll be a tough road test on Wednesday , for sure.

    I love reading in game comments when the Dukes fall behind and are playing bad.

    This team is incapable of playing a solid 40 minutes of basketball.
