Re: Game Thread - Saint Joseph's Hawks

Thanks, BluffHunter. I believe that the game will be televised on SportsNet Pittsburgh in addition to the ESPN+ stream.

Re: Game Thread - Saint Joseph's Hawks

Earlier in the season, I thought the lines were giving the Dukes too much respect. I kind of feel like this one is selling them short. There’s a reason I don’t actually gamble on sports, but I like our chances in this one. St. Joe’s has some nice wins on record, but I see a team who has left the east coast once this season and got blown out.

Re: Game Thread - Saint Joseph's Hawks

Any update on Jakub Necas?  Or Jake??
I think Jak playing is a key to this game.  Nearly 46% of the Hawks' shots are 3 pointers and they do a very good job of limiting the number of opponent 3 point shots.  Jak's height and mobility, along with Matus, can disrupt their offense.  The Hawks are just an average 3 point shooting team, trying to make up in quantity for their misses.

Re: Game Thread - Saint Joseph's Hawks

I'd say there's a good possibility more than one player on this Joe's team will play NBA minutes. Lots of questions about their coaching.

Re: Game Thread - Saint Joseph's Hawks

Ashame about Necas. The team is not the same without him. He's the biggest impact player by far on this squad.

Re: Game Thread - Saint Joseph's Hawks

Every oh damn game. St. Joe's 10 foul shot attempts Duquesne 2. Really? When is this program ever going to get the benefit of foul calls. Just comical at this point. The foul shooting discrepancy just keeps the other team in the game. It's not like the Dukes haven't drove to the basket less than St. Joe. So disgusting man and just hard to watch. Corbett been slammed a half a dozen times with one call.

Re: Game Thread - Saint Joseph's Hawks

Dukes up 6 with 15 plus minutes to go, but of course the Dukes have 4 team fouls in the first 4 minutes, Total BS, St. Joe's will be getting 2 foul shoots from ten minutes or more on. Dukes will never get in the bonus.

Re: Game Thread - Saint Joseph's Hawks

Dinkins being a total bad ass and Rozier as well.

Re: Game Thread - Saint Joseph's Hawks

These ticky tack fouls man.

Re: Game Thread - Saint Joseph's Hawks

5 total team fouls on St. Joe after 30 plus minutes. Are u serious.

Re: Game Thread - Saint Joseph's Hawks

Yeah, Barre just got screwed on a clean block.

Re: Game Thread - Saint Joseph's Hawks

Can't even watch this game anymore. These refs are so one sided. Total joke.

Re: Game Thread - Saint Joseph's Hawks

And that is a sweep of the Joes for the men and women tonight.

Re: Game Thread - Saint Joseph's Hawks

Dixon’s 3 was amazing!   I wouldn’t have called that with 4 seconds left!

Re: Game Thread - Saint Joseph's Hawks

Dixon was great. That's 5 wins in the last 6 games. Got to keep winning to fill this place up.

Re: Game Thread - Saint Joseph's Hawks

WOW , Dukes pull out in unbelievable style.What a great win against a pretty good St.Joes team.Dizon was terrrific offensively and defensively.Clutch free throws ,wow

Re: Game Thread - Saint Joseph's Hawks

This was a great example of one team wanting it more than the other. The numbers don't look good, but great defense and shooting by the Dukes when it mattered most tonight. 11 in a row from the line to close the game including big ones from Crawford and Wilborn. Dixon's 3 was awesome. They literally left him open the entire possession and he made them pay.

Re: Game Thread - Saint Joseph's Hawks

Hey now. That was a crazy finish. Don't know what was more impressive from Dixon, the two 3's the 2 blocks or the one hander from the foul line.

Re: Game Thread - Saint Joseph's Hawks

I'm still pumped up from that one. Awesome win. Dixon was an absolute animal in the closing several minutes. Insane performance. Block at the end of regulation. Two blocks on the same possession in OT. Then that 3. Love rooting for a guy like him.
