Duquesne Dukes Fan Forum / Impressive Win over URI

I saw a replay of the Dukes win over RHODE island tonight and came away very impressed with the speed at which the game was played by both teams. It looked like the Dukes took advantage of fast break opportunities but showed restraint and composure to work against the URI zone when the quick shot wasn’t available. The Dukes did a nice job getting lots of great shots in the half-court sets.
A very nice win for the Dukes!

They have had a real nice run. At risk of jinxing them they start have a run against three bottom teams. Hold serve there and they are in play for the double bye.

They pulled Richmond and St. Joes along with Bonas for their home and home. Double edged sword there. Two of the top teams. If you can sweep Richmond that would be massive come tie breaker time. And likewise you have to split with St Joes.

I hope this post doesn’t jinx then.
