1:00pm EST tip on Sunday 12/19/2021 at the LeBron James Arena, Akron, OH Looks like a mismatch; hope the Dukes play their best game of the year. Even then it might just be enough for another loss. This looks like the best team they’ve played. As an FYI there is no stream today. It said on Twitter that their are technical difficulties. Think we will need our best effort plus a great game from someone. Maybe TA or Jackie J. steps up big today. I'll take 25 from somebody and a solid all around defensive effort from all. LETS GO DUKES! Looks like a mismatch; hope the Dukes play their best game of the year. Even then it might just be enough for another loss. This looks like the best team they’ve played. levon, agreed. Shame this game is being played at Akron with no streaming as Simms pointed out. But it looks like Uncle LeBron sent the team a new shipment of shoes - No stream. No radio. Livestats working, we're down 7 to 3. Can't listen to the Dukes, so they can tell us we can't listen to the Steelers. Found it! 3 at the buzzer for a 15 pt. lead. IFart Radio finally took their thumbs out of their ass. We have a 10 rebound edge and 5 to 1 edge in 3's. Sure hope we can hold on this time. IFart Radio finally took their thumbs out of their ass. I have Ray on the 970 AM webpage. Here we go, ice cold. That's better. Let's hope that the light bulb has come on for this group of players today and that better days are on the way starting now. Our season, really, really, really needed this game! YEESSSS!!!! Just what the doctor ordered. Let'e keep it going. GO DUKES!!! Must have been the water! Congrats. Duquesne's website doesn't believe we won. On the schedule they got us losing. Most points given up by Irvine this season. Way to go Dukes! Big win! Great scoring. Go Dukes! Can't believe how totally inept we are on the website. Actually have us at 4-8. Time to shake some things up over there!! NO EXCUSE for that kind of crap! Does anyone know why Tre only played 11 minutes? I emailed someone about the mistake on the Website...now you guys need to also email. They need to change this today.

UC Irvine is not a very good offensive team, but defensively they are top notch - holding their opponents to ridiculously low shooting percentages. I think the Dukes are going to need an exceptional shooting performance (paging Jackie Johnson) today to pull off the upset. •

Re: Game Thread - University of California, Irvine Anteaters
Excellent win by the Dukes now to follow up with
a win against Wofford.
I try to be reasonable but I find no excuse for the DU website posting
a reverse result. They have the Dukes losing 76-54. Who updates the
website? How hard can it be to post a correct result?
You check live stats for the final then post.
