Stay loose, take the open shots, play defense and we win. Go Dukes. Staying loose is a huge point. These guys have what it takes but can’t let the moment get to them. It will be hard because I’m just a fan and I’ve been feeling nerves all day/night! If they are good enough, and make fewer mistakes, they will win. If not...it's been a positive year. Good Luck Dukes - play well!
Per Dayton board their PG Bennett is possibly out for tonight. We're definitely on a roll. Per Dayton board their PG Bennett is possibly out for tonight. We're definitely on a roll. I thought coach Dru said after last night's game that Bennett was going to be back tonight. Second overtime for the Bonnies and Loyola. Let's make it 4 for 4 with the underdogs today. Excepting the Flyers, every fanbase in the conference should be rooting for the Dukes tonight in order to get 2 A10 teams into the tournament (and the extra dollars associated with the NCAA shares). Per Dayton board their PG Bennett is possibly out for tonight. We're definitely on a roll. I thought coach Dru said after last night's game that Bennett was going to be back tonight. He is playing. Not a comment on officiating, but Dayton outscored us 31-5 at the foul line in the first 2 games combined. Something to watch. We need to be able to play D without too many fouls. Last edited by MikeR (3/14/2024 7:18 pm) Three possession, two travels. Come on, man. I can’t believe they called a foul on that. Two garbage calls on Dixon. Two garbage calls on Dixon. Man this is some one sided refereeing. Dukes got to beat 8 guys. Like how Dambrot is getting the refs faces early Was hoping to be up more than 2 at the half considering how we started, 13 free throws to 4. 10 fouls to 5. Dixon, Barre, and Hronsky all with 2. Free throws keeping the Flyers in striking distance. Clean up the turnovers and we're in good shape. That second one on Dixon really hurt. He's our quickest big and guaranteed Holmes will be getting the ball deep more often in the second half. Dae Dae has got to step up Wow Tre, make a layup. We have held Holmes to 3 field goals…he has 17 points. Wow Tre, make a layup. He and Mahorcic both not finishing.

We did a great job on Holmes in that half. We should be up by more, but a very good defensive performance that half. Need to take better care of the ball.
