Straight from their website. It’s a live stream to whatever station so I guess it will be the game at 6:30 eastern. I need the radio stream too, I would buy the video stream (on a prepaid card, thanks CLK) but these games are tipping while I am still at work on the west coast and I don’t think replay is an option.

townsonkid · 11/21/2019 2:05 pm

thanks, I'll just be getting home around 6:30.

WashPaRick · 11/21/2019 6:39 pm

Another slow start, that's starting to get annoying.

WashPaRick · 11/21/2019 6:56 pm

We certainly seem to be offensively challenged.

townsonkid · 11/21/2019 7:07 pm

Hughes 3 fouls and 0 shots. Ouch!

WashPaRick · 11/21/2019 7:08 pm

Great turn of events. Keep it up.

townsonkid · 11/21/2019 7:18 pm

Gonna need to have the 2nd half surge.

IronDukes12 · 11/21/2019 7:19 pm

Wow. Talk about a game of streaks.

townsonkid · 11/21/2019 7:55 pm

Uuuhhhhh, from what espn is saying steele hasnt played in 2nd half. Getting schooled.

Get that Lavaria to foul out.

They've got 3 players with 4 fouls with 10 minutes left. Time to take advantage

yak-rbc · 11/21/2019 7:58 pm

Mike Hughes fouls out after 7 minutes. Thats....not preferred

applecorps · 11/21/2019 8:00 pm

Mike Hughes is so talented, but he keeps fouling himself onto the bench and DQ'd.

Duques102 · 11/21/2019 8:03 pm

We are live by the Hughes, die by the Hughes. When he plays, his production has been off the charts. The problem is he can’t seem to stay out of foul trouble. He is really hurting the team and needs to get his act together. It’s not like we’ve had bad refs, he’s the only one on the team with this consistent problem.

Discipline! Free throw shooting also killing us today, ugh. Please pull it out!

Duques102 · 11/21/2019 8:13 pm

Getting way past the point of excuses for Hughes. One two games maybe, but this has been seemingly EVERY game. Had similar issues last year. Just lazy and sloppy, he is way too important to be making these big mistakes.

duquesnegraddad · 11/21/2019 8:20 pm

Alright, following along on ESPN scoreboard, anybody's game after another slow start by the Dukes. Let's try to close this one out boys.

I would disagree with the "lazy" part. I think Hughes actually is too hyper, too competitive.

FAM · 11/21/2019 8:24 pm

Sure hope at 3-0 we don't lose to an 0-3 team. Doesn't look good right now but still could pull it out.

I’m not saying he’s lazy, but some of his fouls have come from things like leaning into the shooter when he just needs to stay straight up.

I love Hughes and he’s a leader on this team, but he has to be better.
