7:00pm EST tip on Wednesday 02/08/2023 at the UPMC Cooper Fieldhouse, Pittsburgh, PA 7:00pm EST tip on Wednesday 02/08/2023 at the UPMC Cooper Fieldhouse, Pittsburgh, PA Nice stats once again. I will be there, I bought the rest of the season, then DU gave me a credit for 2 seats from last year, so I am taking my nephew along with my wife. Good news, the ticket office, just now told me a lot of these tickets are being sold recently, so a bigger turnouts should be in for the Dukes the rest of this season. 7:00pm EST tip on Wednesday 02/08/2023 at the UPMC Cooper Fieldhouse, Pittsburgh, PA Nice stats once again.

Good news, the ticket office, just now told me a lot of these tickets are being sold recently, so a bigger turnouts should be in for the Dukes the rest of this season. Also, this is a very winnable game for the Dukes. I'd like to see KD work in after a big lead, most bench players that should be important down the stretch. Mason is notably good at 3PT offense & 3PT defense. Oduro is beastly. This should be a serious test for the Dukes. I feel like the home court tips this one in the Dukes favor. Dru Joyce flew to LA tonight to hopefully watch Lebron beat the all-time scoring record. He'll be back by gamete tomorrow.

Let's get KD's 500th win tonight. Go Dukes Dukes now favored by 6. Weiss PSN Article: Nice little preview from a GMU podcast: My biggest concern tonight: 3 pt. Defense 35.2%, 252 in D-1 My biggest concern tonight: 3 pt. Defense 35.2%, 252 in D-1 FAM, it appears that Mason's best 3 point shooter, Victor Bailey (47.4% from 3) is out with an injury tonight; he left the last game injured. Mason has also been without Davonte Gaines who was injured in their first conference game. Both of these guys transferred to Mason from Tennessee; high level players that the Dukes might not have to deal with. My biggest concern tonight: 3 pt.

Mason has also been without Davonte Gaines who was injured in their first conference game. Both of these guys transferred to Mason from Tennessee; high level players that the Dukes might not have to deal with. Apparently Gaines may finally be available tonight. We shall see. Here’s Zac Weiss’ KD interview excerpts Adam Sandler stopping by to see the basketball team: Adam Sandler stopping by to see the basketball team: After watching many tragically comedic performances by the referees this A10 season, I guess they called in a professional to call tonight’s game. 🤷♂️ Sandler is live tonight at the PPG paints Arena. Adam Sandler stopping by to see the basketball team: After watching many tragically comedic performances by the referees this A10 season, I guess they called in a professional to call tonight’s game. 🤷♂️ Haha, Amen brother! Let’s get this one Dukes! Excited to see how we decide to defend Oduro. Do we double or do we play him straight up? No easy answer as he is a good low block scorer but also a very good passing big man. If we can keep him in check, Dambrot gets #500. Wow Hollywood comes to the Bluff. I think it all started with the delivery guy. Duquesne nation on fire😂 I would gladly trade in any one of these three refs for Sandler right about now. A double foul, but count the bucket, but not a free throw? These guys are making it up as they go! Haha. Clear blocking foul and should have been And 1 for Grant to end the half, and they swallow their whistles. The selective travel calls are mind boggling as well. Great game by the Dukes. Plus, Bonnies lost tonight to LaSalle. Next game should be really important. We Came We Saw We conquered!!!! Great win.When Grant plays well Duquesne plays well.Just a great team win ,good defense,,looks like Dukes That was one of the best defensive games I have seen by this team this year. Everybody contributed in a big way, so I don't want to single out any player. What a team victory! When the Dukes play with this type of intensity, they can beat any team in this league. Congratulations to KD on number 500.

Re: Game Thread - George Mason University Patriots
Something to watch for is whether or not Victor Bailey plays for them or can be effective. He hurt his hand last game & only played 7 minutes. He leads the A-10 in 3PT shooting percentage at .477.

This is what drives me nuts each game…when our players stand 3 feet away from the opposition as they take 3 point shots. Again, it’s up to the defense.

Re: Game Thread - George Mason University Patriots
I digress…decent half from our Dukes. Definitely left some to be desired but glad to see Grant and Brewer playing like this. I’m expecting a much better half from Clark as I think the foul trouble may have been in his head a bit. C’mon Dukes!
