I guess South Hills Audi has a problem with math

 

Robinson, Jones, Colter not playing? Conflict with classes?

All 3 are listed on rosters. Did you see something that said they weren't playing?

I was reading it on my cell phone. Must have missed the third page. Glasses aren't the problem Rick. Four years of playing nose tackle in high school. Too many blows to the melon.

Did they have face masks on the helmets in those days?

What helmets? Leather helmets were introduced shortly after we graduated from Duquesne.

I posted a lengthy re-cap of the two games I saw tonight at Montour.  Don't know how to copy and paste from one board to the other.  Fell free to vist the other board and copy my summary to this board.  I will say this-I am ecstatic over Jordan Robinson. Eric James will play a lot.  Tysean Powell did not play-hurt- and TJ was a no-show.

Eric James will play a lot.  Tysean Powell did not play-hurt- and TJ was a no-show.

Here are some random observations without any particular rhyme or reason.  First off, it was difficult to follow who was who because numbers were assigned tonight and there were no sheets with the number matching the names of players.  But I got all the old and new Dukes numbers.  In PGT vs. Shale Attorney, PGT won going away for a very simple reason-they shared the ball.  Jere Jones played steady if not spectacular.  He did nothing to embarrass himself.  Ditto with Darius Lewis.  Plus Lewis was able to run the court for most of the game.  He had four nice blocks and could have scored double digits if anyone would ever have passed him the ball in the second half.  Bottom line- substantial improvement over last year.  Rene Castro had what I would describe as an average night.  He definitely has shooting skills.  Dished off some pretty nice assists also.  The Dukes star of this game without question was Eric James.  He has three things going for him-speed, elevation and hustle.  First impression is he will get some play time.  Believe he had double digits with a couple of really nice follow up dunks.  Did not stay for the second game because Tysean Powell had a leg injury that kept him  out and the only Duke was Jordan Stevens. Stevens was 6 for 24 and had an off night according to Steve and another dukes fan.  So I went to the Intermediate gym to get a look see at Jordan Robinson, Derrick Colter, Domo McKoy and Desmond Ridenauer.  McKoy and Ridenauer's team had a boatload of guards and mid-size players who lit it up.  Colter and Robinson's team only had six players with Derrick the only guard. Domo-as good or better than last year; Desmond-better than last year-more sure of himself; Derrick-improved and steady-had a double at lease and maybe a double-double if assists are counted;  Robinson was the star of the night-had 18 points and a slew of rebounds and ran the floor extremely well.  He made a variety of off the glass banks from close in and had at least three monster slams.  HE IS STRONG!!! The ESPN guy who predicted he will be a 12 point and 8 boards buy for the Dukes knows his stuff.  I saw Jordan last year and there is no doubt in my mind he will fill a large portion of the void created by Ovie graduating.  Jordan plays at 7 Wednesday night vs. the Audi pros, Pitt and Cressler in the main  gym.  It would be worthwhile to see what he can do vs. top-tier talent.  Didn't see Gill and  Mason play.

Per your request, grammudder.

Great work by Nesbitt. This might be our deepest team since Ron's second year.
 

El Duques I have the same concerns along with our ability to defend.  It does look like we have more depth.  Here is a summary for 7/2 from the Pitt board.  Some big scoring for DU players.  Castro with 42 points.
