while its easy to poke fun at this game, i dont mind the idea of the team taking a long road trip for bonding purposes and to hopefully crush a lesser opponent on their home floor. with all the new pieces on this team, it might be a fun trip to west texas. Looks like they have a cool tank museum and air force base. its really the only true road game in non con schedule( i dont consider bus rides to moon or happy valley a road trip).

While i think this is good for team building, i also wouldnt mind us taking the sacrifical lamb and quick pay check route by going to kentucky or duke(again). 

I have not found a free video link but the one below is a PPV

Pomeroy has the Dukes winning this one by 10 points, 70-60; with an 86% probability of a win.

Looking at some highlights from their game against Tulsa, ACU appeared shorter and slower than the Dukes. If the Dukes defend and get out on the 3 point shooters, we should be able to bring home a victory.

Certainly impressed with how many students they got out to the pep rally; wonder how they enticed or threatened them to come. Also, Moody Coliseum look s like a nice facility; doesn't appear to be a bandbox.  http://www.d2hoops.net/arenas/abilenechristian/t42/

Final tidbit - a kicker from ACU still holds the collegiate record for the longest field goal - 69 yards by Swedish kicker Ove Johansson in 1976.

They were threatened with eternal damnation.

Hope Pomeroy is a little better on the Dukes prediction than he was on the Hawaii/ESP game last night. He had ESP winning by 10 points with an 86% probability of a win.

ESP's loss takes care of the 14% for teams from Allegheny County this weekend.  The Dukes will win going away.
 

Welcome, SCV. 

Hard to believe that Mckoy isn't in some sort of doghouse.  Lewis in before him?

I'm thinking the same thing.

Domo stayed home after a medical procedure.

Stevens is a player!

Any road win is a good win for our young Dukes!

Came across this tweet and think anyone who watched the webcast of the game would agree:

@GreatGhostsAliv: Abilene Christians gym looks much nicer than Palumbo.

How is this possible when ACU's gym is 48 years old? Looked it up. And this is only their 2nd year in Division 1. From the looks of the new talent (Stevens, Powell, James, Castro etc) Ferry and staff are doing a great job recruiting with signicant limitations, especially given the current level of the A10!
