7:00pm EST tip on Wednesday 11/15/2023 at the UPMC Cooper Fieldhouse, Pittsburgh, PA Last edited by PhoenixRising2 (11/15/2023 8:53 am) Haslametrics is pretty down on the Dukes. Interestingly they have us winning =16px 72.47 to 71.59. Seems like a bellwether game. We have already been in some battles so they should be mentally prepared for another competitive game. Hope there is a good crowd! They got a 6'7" kid averaging 15 boards a game. Should be a good matchup, Drame twins activate! Need both of them tonight. Need Clark's best defensive efforts too. Princeton’s starters are all averaging over 30 minutes per game. They don’t rely on their bench very much at all. The Dukes depth should allow them to pressure Princeton for the entire game. I also expect Savrasov will help neutralize #3, Caden Pierce, their 6’7” forward rebounding machine. Not only is Pierce a rebounding machine with 15 against Hofstra last week, he scored 26 points at a 50% efficiency rate! The Dukes will need to guard effectively against the 3 point (since all of the Tigers are deadly shooters). I think the key, since they essentially use only 6 players -- is to press and tire them out if that is possible. We use 10-11 players, so that should not be a problem.

The game will be broadcast on both Sportsnet Pittsburgh and ESPN+. This is a must win game.Instead of watching the game on TV come cheer the Dukes.Duquesne needs that home court advantage.Princeton is one of the best teams Dukes will play all year. Hope you will be leading the students Stew! Should be a good one tonight. Let's get after them for 40 minutes. Ouch. No inside game. Do we have a single basket in the paint other than a drive by Clark? And btw, cannon n Benz blow big time. I thought they were The Princeton play by play team. I had to turn the volume off. 2 absolute blowhards. No inside game. Do we have a single basket in the paint other than a drive by Clark? obviously we didn't practice against a zone.1-3-1. What magic can Dambrot sprinkle on them this halftime? The slightest Dukes mistake is taken advantage of by Princeton. Stew's response was much less energetic. Got their work cut out for them. Cant shoot, cant win. Cant comeback against that team. They wont screw up. Last edited by townsonkid (11/15/2023 8:37 pm) After a timeout, is that the best play the Dukes could come up with at the 30 second mark ? Thought we had it. Clark laid a huge egg to say the least. Damn. Good effort to make it close. Drame needs to make that shot for the win. Woulda created some excitement with a comeback win with nothing else going on in town, but instead people will think same old Dikes. 😤 Very little going on inside, bigs missed too many free throws. This one hurts

Re: Game Thread - Princeton University Tigers
I assume that's the home court advantage factoring in. Go Dukes!

Re: Game Thread - Princeton University Tigers
However, they are all definitely good athletes. It won't be easy. I watched some of their games -- at Rutgers and at Hofstra - and they are like a machine. Grinding it in, kicking it outside and then shooting from the perimeter, sometimes even further.

Princeton's passing game is a work of art.
