That should add some significant atmosphere to the game. Great idea!

Overnight, the Dukes moved into sole possession of 11th place.

Yes but a win tonight may get them tied for 5th place. A10 huge log jam outside of top 4.

The Rams have beaten the Dukes 6 of the last 7 meetings. Fordham just seems to have the Dukes number right now; they have simply been tougher and more physical than the Dukes. Let’s see if the Dukes can come out and establish a physical dominance on their home floor.

Corbett can hit a foul shot to save his life so why is he shooting threes? His complaining is so old at this point and his defense stinks tonight.

Not to be a hater but I can’t disagree. It’s pretty obvious. He is gone next year play the next in line players coach Dru.

Officiating SUCKS!

Good win. Total team effort in second half. Corbett really stepped it up and I happily ate my words. Hronsky, Dixon, and Wilborn awesome as well.

Corbett 2nd half made foul shots👍Hronskey BIG game all around. Beat the Bonnie’s

It was a very entertaining game. Love to see the Dukes scoring inside the 3 point line and at the line. I loved the officiating tonight. They really let the guys battle. So much contact was allowed on rebounds, drives to the rim, blocked shots etc. it was a rough one out there - I think Fordham is becoming one of the Dukes better rivals. The boys took care of business at home tonight. Well done. I’ll be headed up to Olean for the 4p tip on Saturday. Gotta have that one as well.

Eli and Dave set the tone inside with their battling and toughness, something that has been really lacking. In a combined 40 minutes, 24 points, 11 rebounds including 7 offensive (6 alone by Wilborn), 8-9 from the line and 6 blocks. Looking for more of this in Olean on Saturday. Let’s go Dukes!
Dukes jump to the #7 spot in the conference.

Really good game by the Dukes tonight. Hronsky and Wilborn both may have played their best games to date of their careers. Wilborn was a beast and just out muscled and outworked the Fordham centers and Hronsky played a fantastic all around game his shooting, rebounding and defense were all good and he saw the floor and passed tremendously tonight. Everyone else played solid and the team played very well after the first five or so minutes. As always Urgo was constantly whining tonight. He is the opposing coach who most annoys me.
I think our depth can work against us if not managed correctly. We have 10 guys who all can do certain things well and share minutes but we need to ride the hot hands more. Last game Hronsky was hot to start and then didn't play for 15 minutes. We need to play the guys who are playing the best more minutes and use the guys that are off on a given tonight more sparingly. Having a shorter bench tonight allowed the guys to get and stay in their rhythm.
I'm hoping we can find the right combination of minutes, get hot at the right time, and make a run in D.C. in a few weeks.

Last year at this point, the Dukes were 6-7 in conf. play. Today, they are 6-7 again in conf. play. It really looked like this team is playing good ball these last two games and are deep enough have a decent chance of winning the A-10 again.

I like this post. Solid win. Cool to see Mike James in the fieldhouse too!

Corbett hit 6-straight free throws in this game; so let’s give credit where it’s due.

Was out and watching the recorded game. Tim Benz was promoting the Coaches Show on SportsNet that he hosts. He said a lot of people will be interested and watching.
Cannon’s response “Maybe”. I rewatched to
Make sure I heard him correctly.
Why is this man allowed on the broadcast? Please why?
