    You’re welcome. Glad that I can still pull these together. Hopefully this will turn out to be a very special season.

    BTW, the betting line has jumped overnight to the Dukes now being favored by 10-10½ points.

    As a young(er) fan, this is the most excited I've been about Duquesne basketball in my life. I even bought the mini-plan for four games, but I'm starting to think I should have bought the 6 game option. Going to the game tonight, go Dukes!

    With so many new faces and some injury issues, I could see us letting them hang around more than we should. I still expect a comfortable win though. I'll say 78-68.

    Like previous years, ESPN+ is a sputtering mess. The Dukes are struggling right now.

    Rozier is not a starting PG at this level. However, that's not going to stop KD from playing him huge minutes. So predictable.

    The last two posts sum it up. We are hurting at the point n the foul shooting was abysmal.

    Gotta look at the limited options. I was really impressed with Drame 33, Barre needs more minutes and so does Dixon. We need that big bearded dude to get out of his jeans and into his uniform cause he looks like a beast

    Gutted out the win. Certainly was hard on the nerves.

    VCU lost to McNeese St at home.
    That makes the win today by  DU even better

    I know everyone was missing them but I'm not getting the ball to Dixon with 8 seconds left and up 1.

    This was a quality opening win against a challenging opponent. Grinding this one out says good things about the team.

    It seems like it will be a while before substitution patterns will solidify. There was some wacky stuff going on there.

    The Drames were very encouraging.

    I liked the amount of minutes that Williams played & the way he played. He was doing well as a passer & roller.

    Tre looked good and was effective.

    Re: Game Thread - Cleveland State University Vikings

    My observations:

    -Student turnout was great.
    -I wish some more season tickets folks would be louder/stand out.
    - Trae and Dae Dae are nice to have.  Both were solid
    - Like both Drame brothers.  Play long on defense and just solid.
    -  Rozier - love the heart but he wasn’t great defensively and doesn’t scare opposing teams on offense I feel but its 1 game
    - Barre played well since first “game” action in like 10 months - keep playing him
    -  Dixon was good
    - Trae Williams is leaner and seemed to be moving quicker.
    - Andrei S. - wasn’t impressed or disappointed kind of “meh” effort.  Expected more being a veteran
    - Wonder where Hronsky was - personally think he is a better player than Jake DiMichele

    Great atmosphere, little too close but a win is a win!

    Go Dukes!
