Good start for the Dukes. Colter playing his best game as a Duke so far -- 4 assists in 8 minutes. Mason with a pair of threes. Dukes up 33-28 with about 5 minutes in the first half. McKoy (7) and Mason (6) pacing the Dukes. Mason and Colter both have 4 assists. So far, so good. Only negative is Soko in foul trouble. Colter now with back to back turnovers. Couldn't get ball over halfcourt with no one covering him. That was one of the worst plays I have seen all year. Getting sloppy. But still 36-33 Dukes. That turnover was a momentum killer. We don't have a "heady" team. Soko has committed a couple dumb fouls, McKoy and Jeremiah Jones have both stepped on the end line when they had scoring opportunities, and of course after a good start Colter unraveled. At least we have a lead at halftime. It's still a lot better than the St. Joes game. I just hope we can maintain some semblence of a gameplan in the second half. I don't see us shooting 55% in the 2nd. Even as I say this, I am scaring myself: We just have to play smart in the second half. The women, meanwhile, are beating VCU. Mckoy is easily my favorite player.. Young Charles Oakley. McKoy, Soko, the Jones gang and White. Don't like this lineup one bit. 61-58 Dukes, 8 and change to go. Soko 15, McKoy 13, Mason 12. Dwayne Evans in foul trouble. Now Gill is killing us. Colter gets a shot blocked. Soko misses a layup. This is where the lack of a true floor general may doom us once again. We'll hear later that "Colter did not play poorly. He had seven assists and only three turnovers." Of course, two of the turnovers evaporated a nice first half lead, he missed a FT at a critical time, had a shot blocked, and has been outplayed by the senior Jett. Ovie, please, once in your life, DUNK THE DAMNED BALL! Why do you take Mason out for Jerry Jones with a minute to play? Mason is still out of the game? Why not, he's your best shooter. Another failed layup attempt by Soko. Ugh. Woulda coulda shoulda. Missed opportunity and the biggest culprit was missed FTs. I don't think it's fair to critique Colter because he was outplayed by Jett. Who in the A10 doesn't get outplayed by him besides possible Chaz Williams? I thought Colter played a good game. You can't handpick a couple of plays and say he played poorly when he did not.
