If anyone is on the fence about going I’ve got an extra ticket. I’m trying to sell it, but if it would mean another Dukes fan is there I’m happy to eat it and just send it your way.

17 free throws to 3 with 9:39 left in the first half. Welcome to the Big East

Ref criticism is generally not my thing, but this is an outrage.
 

Why is the radio call remote??

I have never heard a more bored and boring color man.   Nothing but hugh sighs and moans.

Cam Crawford is bringing zero to the table right now. Need more Edwards. When Hall came in the Dukes went up 6 and then down 2. Where is Alex Williams? Dixon, Hugley, and Necas combined for nothing and still only down ten. Much more Aekins as well.

Where is Aekins? Dixon, Necas, Crawford, and Edwards (profanity) the bed tonight. Miss Dimichele.

Hugley's fouls early was the difference in this game. Can't score if you are sitting on the bench. Aekins was too fast for them and seemed to score at will. I would have expected him to stay in there longer. All these big have got to stop the fouling the drive to the hoop when they are beat to the hoop. Villanova got the points anyways plus the foul shot and got all of our bigs an early bench. This game does prove we can play with the top teams. On a different night, with less fouls, the score could be the other way. 

The remote radio broadcast is terrible,the colorman seemed so bored I thought he was going to fall asleep.
Technical problems created  a lot of on air silence thoughout. the broadcast.It would be a lot better to send the guys out on the road to tell you what was really going on and create some excitement

Why weren't they on the road?  It's a game on the other side of this state??!!  Bush leage for a league like the A-10!

Agreed I know that the refs mission was to take the Duke's big men put of the game but this guy is killing listenership, viewership and who would want to go to a Duquesne game if the announcer show obvious bordom?

He was even affecting Ray's call of the game.

Also agree that we could run with them and must make plans for a smaller lineup if this happens again.  Four guards and rotate Dixon, Hugley, and Neces.  They didn't look to go inside at all anyway.

Just the facts…
Per the announcers on TV: Duquesne is the second most penalized team in the USA!
Per me 🤣🤣-Duquesne is not a top 50 team

I was pleased by their competitiveness, they never gave up, and I never  thought they were totally out of it. I enjoyed the game.

I think Jake was dressed & went through warm-ups last night. Can anyone confirm whether or not he is available?

How about Alex Williams?
