Offline Need to be patient. The Dukes will be back in March Madness in less than 46 more years. Offline Hah! I don’t even want to think that way! I have confidence that the coaches will be able to turn things around before too long. Offline That was an embarrassing performance. Not sure why Necas isn't pulling the trigger on so many open looks and open drives to the hoop. Dinkins, Edwards, and Corbett have all struggled immensely on defense as well as offensively. Not too many assists among them. Corbett has scored some, but looks uncomfortable to me on both ends. DiMichelle needs to be on the court 25-35 minutes a game. Hustles and just knows the game. Wilborn needs some help underneath. Dixon needs to be out there more as well. Somebody needs to teach him to his potential. Rozier seems to be trying to do too much. Where has Cam Crawford been? Is he hurt? Thought he played a solid 8 minutes the first game with 2 steals and hasn't played since. The Dukes need a ballhawk, of course not to the level of Jimmy, but somebody. Crawford has had a boatload of mid major D-1 experience. What's the status on Alex Williams? How long is he going to be out. I've done multiple searches that have come up empty. How is that? This is a program that got to final 32 last year and you can't find anything about his status or Barre's. Williams was a constant steadying influence, scorer, defender for a pretty darn good Furman team the last few years. The Dukes need him. Offline Hah! I don’t even want to think that way! I have confidence that the coaches will be able to turn things around before too long. Agree. Think the coaches will figure out the right combinations. There's talent there, no doubt. Need to allow the returning guys to set the example and set the precedent. DiMichelle has. He plays hard every minute on the court. He's their leader. Offline That was an embarrassing performance.

Williams was a constant steadying influence, scorer, defender for a pretty darn good Furman team the last few years. The Dukes need him. My expectations were based on Necas and Dixon along with DiMichelle being the main points of this team, not these new guys and too much Rozier, because he is not big enough, not fast enough, and does not score on his own like a top point guard. That said, this team is way better on the move than standing still. I am very disappointed that this is not a running style team at this point. Find some offense.

This half court style isn't going to work with this team. Once Williams, Barre, and Crawford are back you're 13 deep. Run and press all day and wear teams out. That's the ticket for this team. Half court style not going to work. Offline Napa,
