Our guys came to play and they are tough as nails.

Oh Dambrot why did you leave Rozier in that long while DiMichelle sat? This game should be over.

Thanks for the link, BYUGuy. It is an informative video and BYU's offense is formidable. It will be a good test against the Dukes quality defense.
I think it is safe to say that every team and game in the tournament will present formidable challenges. BYU is going up against a very good Duke team that has been on a hot streak, and I think it is anyone's game on Thursday.
Nope.

YEP!!!

Yep!

Frankly, Dad, we played half a dozen way tougher A10 teams.

Almost want to root for Illinois in the next one. They'd be so much more satisfying to beat.

Dukes could win if this dude is hurt and he plays, it's like most upsets, playing a hurt player makes that happen. But the real X-factor is KD.

Agree. If the Dukes keep playing that hard nosed defense, close out on the 3 point shooters, box out, hit the open looks, grab the loose balls. The Dukes can blow by them if they want to speed em up. We got this!
BYU's got this by 20.

NOPE

Great win for KD, Duquesne, the players, and the A-10. Power 5 teams get too much attention. Drame was cool down the stretch along with great play by Clark,Dixon, and Dae Dae at the line in the end was perfect.

I'll give BYU credit they hung in there, but they went up against a better team today.

The Dukes! Our Dukes! Maybe I’m biased, but they could make a movie about this. What an amazing story, and we are living it. What a ride! After 40 (47) long years in the desert, we are HERE!
