KD interview with Mie Vuckovcan. Lots of good stuff in this interview One of these days...I'm gonna get my wish that we have a nice crowd and we win in front of them. Last edited by FAM (2/18/2020 6:58 pm) One of these days...I'm gonna get my wish that we have a nice crowd and we win in front of them. Would be nice, but GW isn't much of a draw this year. Let's win. Agreed? Agreed Won't make the game tonight. Have surgery on my right shoulder (two torn tendons) early tomorrow. Hope they send me into the OR with a nice win! Won't make the game tonight. Have surgery on my right shoulder (two torn tendons) early tomorrow. Hope they send me into the OR with a nice win! Best wishes on a successful outcome; drugs are your friend (both in surgical matters and being a fan of the Dukes 😀). Good luck! If we play inside-out we win this game easily, if we try to beat them from the perimeter we'll either blow them out or lose ugly. They don't have the inside strength to matchup with us, but they have really good guards. I think we get inside, get Marcus and Mike some easy looks early, get the crowd going, and then pound them with depth. 72-61 Dukes. Can we have a laugher? Everyone clicking, hitting jumpers, rebounding, few fouls, strong defense??? Duq81 - You are correct, not usually a draw but with Nuttin’ else going on I’m hopin’ 8 pm start can eat dinner have a beer relax prior to painting my face. Go Dukes There are very few "easy" wins in the A-10 for any team this season. Just look at last night as an example, Davidson coming off a huge blowout (29 pts.) over St Bona in Olean, goes into St. Joe's against the winless last place team in the league and gets beaten. St Louis who was only one game behind the Dukes in the A-10 goes up to UMASS and loses. So never expect an "easy" game in this league. GW played the Dukes tough in DC, earlier this year, so I expect nothing but another trip to the Dentist tonight! Both of those results, by the way, are good for the Dukes.

It took away a quad one win from us. If we were on the bubble, it might have cost us a bid. Not so good so far. Not so good so far. Not getting ant better. I'm not sure Steele has done anything right so far. What a turd. Now gotta go to Dayton and SBU. HA!!! When we had 40 pts. Norman hit what they said was a 3 but only put 42 on the board. Woof Wheels are off. Reminding me of 2011. 4 of our 5 toughest games this year are ahead of us. We basically got nothing from the 2 and 3 positions tonight. 5 for 22 ain't gonna get it done. 5 for 24 from 3. We need reliable outside shooting in the worst way. Maceo has hit the wall since the tragedy. Feel bad for him. I left the game when the GW player threw up a 3,the ball bounced about 6ft above the hoop, and it dropped in. There will be those who disagree with me, but this team is more than a year away from the top of this Conference, if it ever gets there. The other teams are not going to get worse. They will be getting better from what I have seen Very disappointing, especially the sequence at the end where a 3 was passed away to weathers Very disappointing, especially the sequence at the end where a 3 was passed away to weathers Not smart ball. You have to be aware of the situation. Once you get inside of 10 seconds, you have to look for the three. And Westender i am sorry to say that I agree with your sentiment

Re: Game Thread - George Washington Colonials (H)
Tomorrow, I can't find one home athletic event in the city except for the Dukes. Pitt, Robert Morris, the Pens, whether home or away and going out on a limb Penn State and WVU, are all playing tonight. So, there isn't any reason to stay home and watch any of these folks as they are all off or of course, go to their game instead of ours.
Tomorrows game will be tough - NOTHING Is ever easy for the Dukes in the A-10. So, we "should" get a few more folks tomorrow night than usual. I just "hope" we win. Go Dukes! One of these days...

Is that too much to ask?
Would be nice to relax the final 8 minutes and enjoy a easy W.
I assume Maceo will be back tonight.
