    Rhode Island upset Davidson last night.  There are NO Gimmies for the Dukes.  Get  down by a lot and you might not come back...I know...I know.  Play poorly, give them confidence, and awh oh.  Just sayin...they need to work really hard today and Hughes and Eric need to control their emotions.  Hughes should have actually gotten a technical at the Mason Game.  Just focus on basketball!!  Go Dukes.

    Check Jerry Dipola interview of coach Dambrot on trib sports. I expect a big win by the numbers especially after coaches comments . Tough love tough practice. Boys listen to your coach. Go Dukes

    Massachusetts - G Luwane Pipkins (hamstring) & F Samba Diallo (knee) are doubtful, F Rashaan Holloway (eye) is probable, C Khalea Turner-Morris (knee) & G Curtis Cobb (foot) are out today versus Duquesne.

    God, this is like Groundhog Day, every first half. Stupid passes, attempts to do highlight reel stuff around the rim, sloppy action, poor shot selection and plays after turnovers!

    They've left 8-10 points on the floor, especially after turnovers.

    Good finish to the half. Only down two despite not shooting well at all.

    TDM 4-5, rest of team 5-20.  Have to feel good being down 2 after a poorly played 1st half.

    Re: Game Thread - University of Massachusetts Minutemen

    I'm pretty sure a really undermanned UMass team--that wasn't that good to begin with--just took its best shot at us. We're only down two at the half. Time to make the adjustments, take control of this game and bury them in the second half.

    When will the constant shot blocking attempts cease & the real defense/boxing out begin!

    It seems like all I have to do is write that one of our guys is good but not good enough to be the man & that player starts playing like an all conference selection. 

    What a performance!

    These cats have grit but I still think this was a crap performance against a much inferior opponent.

    Agree with above too but would add Hughes down the stretch! A win is a win and best home season in awhile! Let's Go Dukes!

    I was thinking that way too, but bad shooting nights are going to happen and bad free throw nights as well.  Good teams find a way to overcome that!

    Nice win today
