Duquesne Game Thread

lhsgolf19 · #1 03-07-2009, 07:50 PM

The biggest game of the year! Win, get that important 1st round bye in the A10 tourney, but also win and we could most likely be in the tourney.

Charles Little Thank You!!!!

GO UD! Finish off the perfect home season!

Flyer'95 · #2 03-07-2009, 08:00 PM

This game terrifies me. Man, we gotta get this. Let's go fellas.

swish61 · #3 03-07-2009, 08:00 PM

If we win this game BG is setting records, and making history.

Bill McPeek · #4 03-07-2009, 08:02 PM

Here we go. Control the boards .........give them one shot. It all comes down to this.

bosoxrule · #5 03-07-2009, 08:03 PM

Ha! Derrick Dukes says if Dayton wins, they get a 2 seed in the A10 Tourney. Do the research! If we win we get a 3 seed. Lose and get the 5 and face Charlotte on Wednesday.

rasta man · #6 03-07-2009, 08:05 PM

god we need this one badly. one big question (or two)

1) I'm watching the stream on channelsurfing.net, they have the whio tv video but larry and bucky on audio anybody else have that?

2) Does whio tv just simulcast the radio feed. I thought i saw tv announcers who are they? (sorry if that sounds stupid remember i havent been to dayton in almost 20 years)

frisco flyer · #7 03-07-2009, 08:06 PM

Perrrrrrrfect start

Flyer'95 · #8 03-07-2009, 08:08 PM

WOW. That's all i gotta say about that charge. You couldn't find an easier charge call in all of college hoops. Unbelievably bad call.

swish61 · #9 03-07-2009, 08:09 PM

That was terrible Kurt. No excuse.

kiefaber455 · #10 03-07-2009, 08:09 PM

Nice handle by Huelsman

Great Coaching!! Kurt is out after a foul and a turnover.

3 by CW!! That is a good sign

kiefaber455 · #13 03-07-2009, 08:12 PM

This is not the way they need to start

cbusflyer12 · #14 03-07-2009, 08:14 PM

Not playing well. FYI Kurt is AWFUL!

CW looks confident shooting.

Can this team put up 85+???

kiefaber455 · #15 03-07-2009, 08:14 PM

What the he!! is Wright shooting 3's for--post him up down low and let hi go to town against smaller players

C-time · #16 03-07-2009, 08:14 PM

We have to take better care of the basketball. 3 or 4 TO's already. I get scared every time they trap ST.

maddog07 · #17 03-07-2009, 08:17 PM

CW jacking threes is a receipe for a loss.

Nice start by Kurt as usual.

Flyer'95 · #18 03-07-2009, 08:19 PM

We really need to get to the hoop. Too many jumpshots so far.

swish61 · #19 03-07-2009, 08:19 PM

KH back in. Come on Kurt, give a reason for praise please.

kiefaber455 · #20 03-07-2009, 08:20 PM

This defense sucks so far tonight

Boxout!!! and ST needs to step up he seems to be playing a little scared.

And I agree we are taking to many jumpers.

Flyer'95 · #24 03-07-2009, 08:24 PM

We look terrible right now. BG might need to call a TO and get in these guys faces. We're not being aggressive on offense AT ALL. We need to attack the rim. None of this jumpshooting crap and fadeaways. Make some cuts. Fill that space at the elbow and attack. We just aren't doing what has gotten here. No rebounding on either end and no D.

kiefaber455 · #25 03-07-2009, 08:24 PM

BG better light a fire under everyone's a$$

5 TO's for the Dukes and they've scored off of every one of them

Flyer'95 · #26 03-07-2009, 08:27 PM

Do these refs know what a charge is? Both LW and KH were planted on the ground two steps before contact. Incredible.

PerrymanFan · #27 03-07-2009, 08:30 PM

PW just got schooled.

swish61 · #28 03-07-2009, 08:30 PM

Does Duquesne ever miss a free throw?

swish61 · #29 03-07-2009, 08:31 PM

These refs stink. That was a travel, but they call US for a foul.

UDBaby · #30 03-07-2009, 08:32 PM

That was an F'IN WALK!!!!!

C-time · #31 03-07-2009, 08:32 PM

We have to boxout and get all these long rebounds off their 3s.

Atta way Luke!!!!!!-

Flyer'95 · #33 03-07-2009, 08:34 PM

On that last offensive rebound DU got, the only guy for the flyers who blocked out was KH. We're just not doing what we do. Really frustrating. We better get our acts together.

Nice rebound for charles.

We need to POUND the boards.

Wow!! And we drew a charge!!!!!!

kiefaber455 · #34 03-07-2009, 08:35 PM

Charles quietly having a nice game on HIS night!!!

C-time · #35 03-07-2009, 08:36 PM

Luke is playing okay. He moved his feet on D and kept a rebound alive for us to get. He can stay in front of these guys unlike the other night where Xavier was to athletic and strong for him.

Keep it up LF

Flyer'95 · #36 03-07-2009, 08:37 PM

I think part of our problem rebounding is that we're switching on everything on the defensive end. We don't usually do that. It's making it harder for our guys to know who they should be blocking out i think.

We're starting to look better though.

kiefaber455 · #37 03-07-2009, 08:37 PM

F#@$king 5 for 9 from the FT line

kiefaber455 · #38 03-07-2009, 08:38 PM

Jeezus Christ 5-10 now

Flyer'95 · #39 03-07-2009, 08:39 PM

CJ needs to finish that play with his Right hand. He had an opening on the right side of the rim to lay it in but went to his strong hand instead. Freethrows are going to kill us. Come on CJ. Put this freebie in.

kiefaber455 · #40 03-07-2009, 08:41 PM

Huelsman with the GD fade away again

Phinhead54 · #41 03-07-2009, 08:41 PM

I'm laughing every time Larry says "doody"

PerrymanFan · #42 03-07-2009, 08:42 PM

Kurt posts up a guy 5 inches shorter to him, then shoots a fade away?

Flyer'95 · #43 03-07-2009, 08:42 PM

Duquesne's biggest dude is 6'7". Why is KH shooting fadeaways? Come on. Let's go. Good rebound by KH though.

C-time · #44 03-07-2009, 08:43 PM

He needs to go sit on the bench if all he is going to do is shoot fadeaway jumpers. At least he fit a free throw.

We don't really need him tonight anyway. He doesn't really match up well with any of these guys.

kiefaber455 · #45 03-07-2009, 08:43 PM

Somebody named Oliver gets an offesnive rebound and a put back?
Guy is averaging .8 ppg

jack72 · #46 03-07-2009, 08:44 PM

Thomas is having a career game!

IAFlyer · #47 03-07-2009, 08:44 PM

Has ST struggled all night?

PerrymanFan · #48 03-07-2009, 08:44 PM

ST with an unguarded turnover 30 feet from the rim, then comes down and commits a foul. Take a seat.

Phinhead54 · #49 03-07-2009, 08:44 PM

When the guards get broken down and the bigs have to provide help defense that opens up the backside for offensive rebounds.

How the heck did Luke make that 3? It just died on the rim!

C-time · #52 03-07-2009, 08:46 PM

ST and KH need to sit as much as possible.

Just let LF play center against these guys and use CL and CW in the post too.

I'll take whatever we can get. Nice shot luke! A thing of beauty. Let's go flyers.

Getting beat to death on D, missed that 1 and 1, had that 3 blocked for an easy dunk... If he doesn't show up we are up by a bunch.

Lowery's absence is going to be felt as much as CW's was last year.

maddog07 · #56 03-07-2009, 08:48 PM

Sad that this is the best we have after LW. He's not able to play at the A10 level on a consistant level. Wonder if we could do better with MJ and either MP or PW bring it up?

Flyer'95 · #57 03-07-2009, 08:48 PM

London's lucky they didn't call that a foul.

Can someone explain how we can shoot 60% from 3 and 50% from the FT line?

kiefaber455 · #60 03-07-2009, 08:50 PM

This should be approaching a blow-out if they'd hit their FT's

Flyer'95 · #66 03-07-2009, 08:51 PM

Charles has quietly had a nice first half. I think he has 8 pts and 4 boards.

dnutz77 · #67 03-07-2009, 08:51 PM

Luke HAS to improve on D because we will need his 3 point shooting over the course of his career. He can present some serious matchup problems for other teams.

But, he HAS to learn to play good D (especially against better teams) b/c of his shooting ability!

Phinhead54 · #68 03-07-2009, 08:52 PM

WOW, this is the LF we recruited!

kiefaber455 · #69 03-07-2009, 08:53 PM

Friggin Luke is unconscious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the Luke Fabrizius show!

C-time · #72 03-07-2009, 08:54 PM

Like I said earlier the perfect thing to do is to bench KH and play Luke at center. He can play when there is someone on the other team who he can guard who is not a threat.

Way to go Luke!!!!!!!!

dnutz77 · #73 03-07-2009, 08:54 PM

Love it!! Good for Luke! Let's stay on the throttle!

Flyer'95 · #74 03-07-2009, 08:55 PM

This is not unusual for HS scoring studs to have trouble adjusting to needing to play hard-nosed defense. I think he will improve over time and can definitely present some matchup issues.

Wow, from a nip and tuck game to a 13 pt lead -- on Luke's back -- what a great way to finish the half!

Bill McPeek · #77 03-07-2009, 08:56 PM

Fantastic finish to the half! Maybe Luke has got everyone else going. Come out the second half and bury them!

rasta man · #78 03-07-2009, 08:57 PM

19-6 run to end the half, larry and bucky said in the break if we hit ft's we'd be up 20

we needed that run badly. 20 more min like the that and punch that dance ticket

Flyer'95 · #79 03-07-2009, 08:58 PM

Wow, 49 first half points. And i thought WE were playing badly on defense. Wow.

Charles and Luke were huge. Let's finish this thing with an exclamation mark. I want to see walkons by the end of this. Let's go boys.

On the down side, our blocking out and freethrow shooting continue to regress. That has got to get fixed or we're doomed. If we werent' shooting so well, we'd be in DEEP DEEP trouble right now.

Yep, that was the biggest adjustment for me (as it is for most kids coming out of HS). But man, if/when he learns to play solid D (needs to work on foot speed), he is going to be dangerous. I love a good shooting big man!

Excellent last 10 minutes of the half (got to police up free throws and rebounding)!

The Chef · #81 03-07-2009, 09:00 PM

Wow! Well, what can you say? How about that first half performance from Luke Fabrizius. I found myself saying a number of times in that final 6 minutes of the half," No, No, No ... Yes!!!!!" The sad part is that we'd probably have a 25 point lead if we make free throws and do a better job on the defensive glass.

Luke Fabrizius has 15 points and the senior Charles Little has 10 points. In the second half, we have to tighten up the defense, keep the tempo reasonable, and protect the basketball at all costs. An undefeated home season is now just 20 minutes away.

Hey, he did knock a ball out of bounds while playing D, almost a steal, well sort-of.

sorry to go off topic but did i hear during the off air conversation that Carl Nichols is not doing well health wide? He was so good, i just read that omar williams died last year (news doesnt make it out here that fast)

jack72 · #89 03-07-2009, 09:04 PM

What a difference a day makes. We had some bozos after the X game saying Luke should transfer and he is not a D1 player and he will never play because of his poor D. How about that great denial of a pass he made near the Dayton bench? Then of course there were the guys saying he is the next Jimmie Binnie. I really liked Binnie, but did he ever shoot 5 of 6. Luke has such a quick release and at 6'9", he cannot be stopped if he shoots smoothly and with confidence. I love this frosh class.

Unfortunately from an A10 seeding perspective, no. But if we win tonight, we tie URI with the same conference record, but they win the tourny seeding tiebreaker and so RI gets the #2 seed.

Flyer'95 · #95 03-07-2009, 09:08 PM

The good: Luke, Charles, 13 assists on 17 baskets. Amazing.
The bad: we've given up 8 offensive boards. We have only 2. And we are of course 7-14 from the line.

udx2 · #96 03-07-2009, 09:09 PM

It's not easy to stay online and follow the game from a third world country(excuse me that isn't PC -- developing country), but I love my Flyers. One question: All who had been hoping for a Luke breakout game like this, raise your hand.

Let's go undefeated at home and make noise in Atlantic City.

X did lose. Nothing will change if we win.

3-way tie for 2nd b/w URI, Dayton, and Temple at 11-5.

Looking at head-to-head overall records

URI - 2-1
Dayton - 1-1
Temple - 1-2

Unbelievable!!! The guy FINALLY shoots like he is supposed to and he is a great player all of a sudden. Like I say w/ KH on the games where he actually plays DECENT, because he never plays extremely well....If LF shot like he is tonight every night I could live w/ his lack of defense. But let's be honest, he doesn't!

Flyer'95 · #99 03-07-2009, 09:12 PM

Luke upped his season 3pt% by three points in that first half. Crazy. He's up to 37.4% now.
