Since our very bad start, Odds make us underdogs. But we beat each of those teams by about 10 plus. Dayton has  struggles on the road recently. Coach Dru has these kids ready.  I like our chances here.

It’s been a ton of fun watching the Dukes last year and this year so far. Been following them for 30+ years. I know some of you are going on 50+. Excited for this game. Go Dukes!!!  I like our chances too.

Enjoy it gang.  The Dukes are 19-4 against A-10 competition over their last 23 games!!  That is a run of success few teams get to enjoy in this league. Win this one tonight and Duquesne is clearly the team to beat in the A-10.  I expect a battle and no outcome would surprise me.  I want to see some scoring by guards off the drive and would love to see more FTs.  Otherwise, everything else is clicking beautifully

Blowout city.  Dayton taking it to every Dukes player embarrassingly.

Dayton, the league darlings, the refs are f-ing us.  Dayton has already lost enough to not get ranked, nor an at large bid. The refs all season are an embarrassment of  lack of fair play. Start calling a fair game for once.

Embarrassing and Ellis has a hard on for Dayton. He's so excited that the Dukes (profanity) the rug.

Cannon is unbearable. You would think he’s a Dayton grad.

So agree. That clown makes me want to puke especially when their losing. He loves when The Dukes get humiliated. How has he not been fired. Duquesne basketball has to look into that.
 

Get Corbett off the court and let Wilborn, Hronsky, Necas, and Barre get his minutes. He doesn't play ANY defense. Dinkins needs less minutes and Crawford and Edwards need more. Dixon needs to start no matter what he thinks. Barre also needs more minutes as well as Wilborn. Too many minutes given to guards who don't play defense. Start Edwards, Rozier, Hronsky, Dixon, and Wilborn. Necas, Crawford, Dinkins, Barre  or Wilborn and Corbett off the bench. Need DiMichele to get healthy. Necas needs to step up his game. This was a total embarrassment and set this team back big time.

I would say this much. The refs never favor us, never. BUT, there is enough game film on how teams beat Dayton and it seems, this coaching staff didin't take the time to look.  Also, when you are down by 20 plus, and your team takes their time walking the ball down the court? You are killing yourself?  Go into an all out  running mode or something to close the score. Every lose it seems we waste clock like we have the lead. I'd like to see 10 plus trip to the hoop, not 5 bad trips. And if we want to foul, start fouling their worse player with 5 or 6 minutes left, not in the last 2 minutes when those players are on the bench?  Yes, this is one game, but now, other teams have film on us, about how to play us like Dayton. For a team that depends on defense, we didn't play like anyone knew how to play defense. Let's hope the coaching staff, and the players, go back into practice and clean this up. This team is way better than they played tonight.  Way better. 

No sense of urgency tonight. Even Dru looked non commital at times. Just a weird sense of what the hell are we doing and why aren't we having any sense of urgency. I don't get it. One thing I do know is Corbett is lost totally defensively. He might make a play here and there on offense but doesn't play ANY defense. Need to have Barre, Wilborn, Necas, and Dixon playing more minutes at the forward/center position. Need more Edwards, Hronsky,  and Crawford, and less Dinkins as he is an obvious defensive liability as well. Hope Dimichele can get back in the lineup.
 

Super disappointing night. Maybe some overconfidence after beating Bona.
