Offline Out here on the West Coast, but following the Dukes and hoping the winning streak continues. Offline 6 assists on the first 7 made buckets. 3 for 3 from 3. Offline Cannon with a double-double after 22 played minutes. Offline 88-63 was the final - TEAM SHOT 56% from three point range!!! Offline Continuous improvement leads to positive results. Strong performances from two front-line players, good shooting percentages and few turnovers are typically good signs for a Duquesne team. Offline I just finished listening to Akron HC Melissa Jackson's post-game interview and here was her analysis:
CONGRATULATIONS COACH DRU JOYCE III
Akron
In a way, not having a home court this season may indeed be a (road warriors) mental benefit. For me, keys to victory will be: 1) smart/aggressive play; 2) rebounding; 3) preventing dribble penetration to the hoop; 4) inside-outside ball movement; and 5) finding players who have less-contested/easier shots while limiting difficult shots.
Keep it rolling.

Re: Akron
!) Duquesne's physicality bothered us; 2) They made an effort to get the ball into #13 (Laia), who is a very good post and then kicked (the ball) it out for open, uncontested shots; 3) Their transition game hurt us; 3) They boxed us out really well on the defensive board; 4) In an answer to a question, Coach Jackson offered kudos to Dan and his ability to recruit foreign players as well as local players; 5) We did not make them uncomfortable.
Sorry I didn't post the link here, but go to Akron's website and you can see/hear the entire post game interview. A very encouraging assessment from an opposing coach on Duquesne's performance. •Thread Starter
