A10, don’t make it so obvious. 7 straight trips to the line?

No charge for Rozier? 8 straight trips to the line for Dayton. We’ve shot 3 free throws.

How does the same thing happen in every single game. EVERY SINGLE ONE. 

Duquesne up 4. Dayton 8 straight trips to the free throw line. Dayton 21 free throws. Duquesne 3. Dayton up 7. Can’t say I didn’t see this coming.

Two minute collapse. No one within 20 feet of Brea on his 3 pointer..

Hell yeah Dambrot!

Do better Atlantic 10. Absolute joke.

I don't understand this board. How is everyone blaming the officials and cheering on the team??? This team is garbage. They are pathetic. Can't hold on to the ball, can't get a rebound, can't make a shot in the final five minutes of games. How do you go 6 minutes without scoring!!! I have never seen a team play sloppier basketball than this team at the end of games. When it was still a 3 point game Dayton missed the free throw and Drame rebounded it and just dropped it out of bounds. Every team puts the press on them in the last 5 minutes because they can't handle it AT ALL!! I have never been as frustrated with a Duquesne team as I am with this one in 25+ years of watching.

Yes the refs did their blatant best to make sure Dayton would not lose two in a row.  But it might of helped some if the Dukes could have hit some 3's. in those last 5 plus minutes

Absolutely Napa. We unfortunately let the refs rattle us a bit, and let them take us out of our game. Have to be more resilient, this unfortunately isn’t a new experience for us this season. I love that Dambrot has stood up for his guys every time this has happened so far.

Same old same old. As I said, the boy cried wolf

If you take the fouls and the free throw shooting out of it, over the last 6 minutes, here are the stats:

Dayton 12-0 Run
Duquesne 0-8 FG
Duquesne 4 Turnovers
Dayton 5 Offensive Rebounds

The officials could have left the building with 6 minutes to go and Duquesne still would have lost. 

Dayton beat Duquesne. And they did it because they played great down the stretch and we did not.  But don’t act like the refs had nothing to do with it?!?! They continuously went the free throw line while the Dukes got no calls. They made the FTs. But if a few of those fouls aren’t called they are empty possessions and the Dukes possibly get momentum and don’t have to face the press on an inbound pass.  The call on Rozier just bad and I think Dae Dae getting run over while taking a forearm to chest and getting called for a foul was terrible.  They executed and took advantage of a very lopsidedly called game.  The Dukes could not overcome.  I’m not blaming the refs for the loss but it would have been nice to see how things would have played out if the Dukes got a couple calls and Dayton wasnt getting a whistle on every possession
