2:00pm EST tip on Sunday 02/16/2020 at the Rose Hill Gym, The Bronx, NY Last edited by PhoenixRising2 (2/16/2020 10:01 am) Haslametrics = has the Dukes as 101st in the country; and OUT in the NCAA Tournament. Big game for the Dukes. Current Standings Like to see us come out strong and take it to them for 40 minutes but I will take a 1 point win if need be. If anyone in the NYC area is going to the game today and needs a ticket, let me know, we have some extras in our block. Section 112, only $10 vs the $25 box office price. A few of us are meeting at Clinton Hall on East 189th before the game, I'll have tickets there or can meet you at Rose Hill Gym before tipoff. Dukes have to get wins for these next two games. If so they have a solid shot at the 3,4 or 5 spot in the A-10.If a split could end up in the middle of the pack.If they drop this one to Fordham maybe we should all pitch in to pay Dr. Carr to get us long suffering fans off the cliff.🥴 Go Dukes Absolutely a must win, as is the next one. Keep taking those 3's. Looking like hot garbage today. Looking like hot garbage today. I never can remember whether I prefer hot or cold garbage. Looking like hot garbage today. I never can remember whether I prefer hot or cold garbage. Cold garbage doesn't stink as much. The cold shooting is another story. Could be a mental thing from the 3. They are pretty much open shots. Hughes with the Weathers spin. Like to see us come out strong and take it to them for 40 minutes but I will take a 1 point win if need be. O.K. give me the 1 point win. I feel bad for Sin and Weathers and Steele. Really hard to watch. Last edited by Westender (2/16/2020 3:44 pm) At least we didn't foul the shooter on the 3. Carry was excellent at the end. Good thing they were playing Fordham. They need a lot of work at beating pressure closing out tight games. It was hard to watch at times and frustrating, but the win is the win. No one has had their way with Fordham in Rose Hill, so I'll take the W and take sole possession of fifth with the top 4 in sight.

Let's Go get GW - Go Dukes Last edited by FAM (2/16/2020 4:10 pm) A loss there would have pretty much wrecked the season. I hope we don't play these guys again. A loss there would have pretty much wrecked the season. Absolutely!! It would have tanked the season regardless of record. Didn’t see the game but looking at the box score on Bleacher Report and it had Maceo Austin with no minutes played. Is this correct? If so, what happened? This forum is hosted for free by Boardhost.
