2nd half defensive effort won UD the game today. I didn't think I would say that any this season. Good win away from the arena!

Wow, what this game told me is that UD is still 3 pts better than Duquesne when the Flyers sleepwalk thru the first 3 quarters of the game. I'll take it!

Are we the worst team out of 300+ in NCAA Division One, with 30 seconds left and the ball?!!?!?
We shoot too early, we allow easy 3s, we design a horrific in-bounds play, etc., etc.
I will take the win, but next practice needs to focus on 1 minute and under.

Somebody said earlier that we need to hold the Dukes to 15 points in the second half to have a chance! How prophetic. Actually, that is a very bad team we just beat. We are very fortunate.

gutty effort. Have to give them credit for pulling it out. Similar to the SJU win at URI earlier in the week by the same score and SJU was behind most of the game.

How did UD win this? Well, I did say they'd have to hold Duquesne to 15 in the second half and somehow they held them to 14. I give credit where credit is due; I gave up on UD and they proved me wrong. This game saved them in my opinion from a doomed future in the NIT at best.

Looked like a quick 5 second count to me. The Dukes can't say they didn't have opportunities to win...Obie Wan Kanobi missed a bunch of free throws down the stretch...

When Pierre had the ball, why didn't anyone go to him. Just standing around waiting for him to make a play. You only have to have the lead at the end of the game!!!

The ref was at 5 seconds. Most often they are a slow 5 seconds so I think it was a Turn over, not a time out first.

Guttiest win I've ever witnessed
After the worse half I've seen in a while...
These guys looked like a team on a mission with poise, determination, and patience!!!!
No way we should have been able to claw back and win that one. It has to be one of the largest deficits we've overcome in a while.

Wow. You must have some type of telepathy. Dukes scored exactly 15 in second half and we win. Well done.

Happy with the win, but we cannot mail any game in. We cannot keep starting off slow. We cannot finish weak. Before anyone thinks this bolsters our NCAA resume, this wasn't Duke that we beat, it was the Dukes.

Well, using that logic, Umass is horrible because they lost at home to George Mason. You play to win-period. Flyers have 6 in a row and 3 straight on the road. Pretty impressive.

At the half I remember hearing the Dukies announcers comment how DUQ had the BEST 1st half game of the entire season. It was during a commercial when their mikes were not turned off just after the 1/2 time buzzer sounded.

We were down 18 at about the 18 min mark of the 2nd half.

OMG! Just home from Company 7 where a nice, enthusiastic crowd watched this miracle happen. My heart is still racing. I never give up on our guys when there is still time on the clock. It was similar to Wed., just a bit farther to come back, lol. The A10 stream kept freezing up and didn't show the score or the clock, but people at my table, including my sis and her husband, kept up with it on their phones. Streaming feed was going well the last few minutes, so we got to see the amazing end. Duq just stood flat-footed after they missed that last free throw. I couldn't believe our guy was streaking to the basket ALL ALONE!! We didn't know how much time was left and were all holding our collective breaths. Then the screaming started and we broke into the "give me a D..." cheer. It was great!

And a big shoutout to the Dayton fans. There were more Dukes fans but not many more and we were so much louder even in the first half when we were getting killed.
This was senior day for the Dukes and to be honest thE ceremony was pathetic. most of the applause came from us.

Exhilerating win, but,...
Great win, confidence builder,...shows guts,...proves to the players that they can come back. I couldn't be happier.
But, if the Flyers fall behind by 18 in any of the next four they're going to lose. Fall behind in the 2nd half by eight and they'll probably lose in at least two of the next four.
I didn't see the game....dont know what happened. But, at least part of today's story involves "why" they were down by 18. Can't let that happen.

Don't forget about Vee. He was the only one playing in the 1st half and if not for him, we would've been down 20+ pts rather than the 14 we were down. He kept us somewhat in it while the rest of the team was sleepwalking.

Second half of your post is senseless. The loss sure could have flattened their hopes, correct? NCAA does NOT look at bad or ugly wins. Dukes beat RI at RI by 15 points. How did UD do there? Dukes lost at home by 4 to St. Louis. You think if St. Louis wins out and is vying for a 2 seed that the committee looks at that?
Bottom line is the Flyers were getting blown out of the gym with 17 minutes to go and WON. People can say they were looking ahead and, IMHO, that is incorrect. This team knows each game is a playoff game in itself. Truth of the matter is UD is not an excellent team and many of their weaknesses play out each game and usually early on but they seem to
get corrected and some real hunger and team play takes over not to mention defense.

Incredible win saved us from NIT purgatory for now
Seriously, this game thread has to be the most humorous thread EVER to read AFTER the game is over. Classic MB emotions from A to Z, start to finish.
In the last 60 seconds, Kavanaugh cleared 3 key rebounds, got to mid-court and made a great assist on Sibert's dunk, contested the first 3pt shot attempt by the Dukes to tie the game, and secured the rebound on the second Dukes 3pt attempt to close out the game. All in less than a minute.

It was , however, the final outcome made the rest of the night in Pittsburgh a whole lot better.
That is the problem with traveling out of town to watch a game and to spend the night. If the basketball part does not go well, it puts a whole damper on the rest of the night.
