    Re: Game Thread - Air Force Falcons

    Interesting to note that Air Force is so experienced with the 4th most minutes continuity (assuming that's minutes returned from last season). They are also the first team Duquesne has played that has D1 wins at the time of tip (Lamar is the only other team that we've played that has any so far).

    I'm noticing a big opportunity to dominate the glass, which is what propelled Duquesne to victory last night with their ample 2nd chance opportunities

    Re: Game Thread - Air Force Falcons

    I was very worried when I first saw we'd be playing Air Force in a tournament. It's a tough team to prepare for, and being on a short turnaround makes it even harder. I feel much more comfortable about it now since we already played Princeton and Lipscomb. Neither ran the same exact offense, but we'll at least be familiar with the looks we'll be getting. Discipline will be a huge part of the game, especially with the experience that yak mentioned. That's been a scary proposition in the past, but I think we'll be prepared this time.

    Re: Game Thread - Air Force Falcons

    this one has me worried.   I watched them play TCU, they look solid.   I agree with what lucky said above, discipline!!!   MHughes logging 25 solid minutes would be real nice.   If Norman remains hot from outside, let him shoot.   
    thanks for the radio link!

    Re: Game Thread - Air Force Falcons

    So I found this link on twitter for game streaming.  I did not click on it because I purchased the Flowhoops feed, and because I am leery of clicking on links I find on the net.  Maybe some are more adventuresome and will try it to watch.  I hope it works for you.  Good luck.

    I'm listening to the Air Force radio feed, which is about three minutes behind the real time.

    These first seven minutes are a nice change of pace. Keep it up Dukes!

    Caveat to my recent post:  Uh guys, averaging a personal foul about every 1:10 is not conducive to winning.

    I'm happy with the first half.  22 points is good defense.

    Following along via ESPN scoreboard.  Really sounds like the Dukes are playing well.

    Listening on the radio and it sounds like Miller is killing them with 3s. I'm a big fan of his, despite being a freshman he brings a certain veteran quality with solid defense and timely offense. I expect him to see an uptick in playing time going forward.

    The Air Force radio guys have praised the Dukes suffocating defense repeatedly

    Now that's a good first half. Let's get another good 20 minutes and some time for the subs.

    What I’m really hoping is that we still see the second half killer instinct from the Dukes even after such a strong first.

    This broadcaster gets excited when we make some of our shots. Seems little odd with no color man.

    Refs might as well just deflate the ball.
