Duquesne Game Thread

lhsgolf19 · #1 01-30-2019, 10:12 PM

Important Game at the Arena on Saturday Afternoon... 6-2 vs. 6-2... The Dukes are coming off a 19 point 2nd Half Comeback win at home vs. URI tonight. They are a solid team, even though I personally believe Dambrot isn't all that lol

Game is at 2 PM on Saturday Afternoon and will be shown on Fox Sports Ohio as well as ESPN+.

Starting Lineup:
G 35 Sincere Carry 6’1” 180 FR Solon, OH
G 3 Frankie Hughes 6’4” 195 RS SO Cleveland, OH
G 50 Eric Williams Jr. 6’6” 205 SO Port Huron, MI
F 5 Marcus Weathers 6’5” 225 RS SO Overland Park, KS
C 21 Michael Hughes 6’8” 250 RS SO Kansas City, MO

Williams leads the way at 12.6 PPG & 7.9 RPG. Carry is having a fantastic freshman campaign, 12.3 PPG 3.9 RPG 5.9 APG. Frankie can shoot it and big Michael Hughes is a load down low (11.8 PPG 6.6 RPG)

Going to be a tough game, get the job done.

Go UD!

Try other sports...like XC!

and swim team!

How can Duquesne not have hot cheerleaders??? Pittsburgh is known for 2 things...pirogues and hot chicks! UGH!

Maybe they are talking about chicken wings or tenders.

Line UD -10. Think we win but I’d take DU and the points.

That’s why I had UD by 8 in the Predict the Score thread. This Duquesne squad certainly can’t be compared to what Majerus built at SLU, but it’s certainly not the 8-23 caliber of Duquesne teams of the past, either.

Our Guards have a good shooting game and it's lights out, easy W, end of story, mic drop.

The above applies to every remaining game on the schedule, and A-10T.

Pretty sure he was the guy holding the ball with 2 seconds left. Not sure why he had the ball way out there....

CT Flyer · #13 02-02-2019, 02:19 PM

Trey can score when he gets to the rim though!

udx2 · #14 02-02-2019, 02:19 PM

Obi made his presence felt with that basket.

TommyGola · #15 02-02-2019, 02:21 PM

We threw the ball away on another fast break. We would be better just slowing it down, as the Flyers cannot execute a fast break.

TommyGola · #16 02-02-2019, 02:23 PM

12-11 Dukes and 1-4 from the line. We are way off on the three-ball.

TommyGola · #17 02-02-2019, 02:24 PM

Injured Duke...I hope this is not serious. He just fell down with no contact.

lhsgolf19 · #18 02-02-2019, 02:24 PM

Down 1 with 11:40 left... We must start making those 3 balls

Jeff · #19 02-02-2019, 02:25 PM

With 11:42 to go, it's been basically a 5th grade dance where the guys nervously ask a girl to dance for the first time.

Not pretty.

maddog07 · #20 02-02-2019, 02:26 PM

Davis giving us nothing on either end so far. Had a couple of great games but seems to have lost confidence again.

jack72 · #21 02-02-2019, 02:26 PM

Still struggling from the three, now 0-4 with 3 wide open shots.

Cunningham is so tight on his free throws. Landers is so tight on anything but a layup.

TommyGola · #22 02-02-2019, 02:27 PM

Obi with an NBA-style slam!

TommyGola · #23 02-02-2019, 02:28 PM

We would be in trouble this year without OBi!

TommyGola · #24 02-02-2019, 02:29 PM

Wow, we cannot buy a three!

CT Flyer · #25 02-02-2019, 02:29 PM

I've never seen so many desperation 3's at the end of the shot clock against one team as happen against us.

TommyGola · #26 02-02-2019, 02:30 PM

This inconsistency from three is just a chronic problem with this team. The Dukes are heating up and we are misfiring from three range.

TommyGola · #27 02-02-2019, 02:31 PM

Cohill just traveled. He is having a rough game and leaves the game. Flyers with five costly turnovers. 21-15...Flyers better be careful.

TommyGola · #28 02-02-2019, 02:32 PM

We don't need Cunningham shooting threes. Flyers down by eight and look terrible on offense.

Can Landers get his head in the game? Penetrates beyond the foul line with two of our bigs in front of him and passes it backward. Next play he crashes into Mikesell, who has the rebound, and knocks it out of bounds.

Cohill playing like a freshman.

longtimefan67 · #32 02-02-2019, 02:35 PM

Flyers seem to let their bad offense to affect their defensive effort. On a day like today, better ramp up the D quick

We can’t win playing like this. We need to commit to getting the ball inside.
Their press, and f you want to call it that, is also giving us fits.

TommyGola · #35 02-02-2019, 02:36 PM

Another late shot during the 30 second shot clock.

We seem to have more success when the guards try to drive with the ball. Get to the line.

25-17 after a series of comedy of errors.

jack72 · #41 02-02-2019, 02:38 PM

Crutcher has to get into the offense faster. Duq slowing us down with the press.

TommyGola · #42 02-02-2019, 02:39 PM

Flyers down 10 and their offense is as bad as it has been all year. I hope the potential recruit is not getting down on this awful performance.

Getting run off our own court right now. DU pressuring the guards on the offensive end. Need to drive.

CT Flyer · #45 02-02-2019, 02:39 PM

Why would Crutcher not just shoot that 3 off of the catch?

Hard to believe we can play with this little energy in front of a sold out crowd.

jack72 · #46 02-02-2019, 02:40 PM

Landers is struggling big time with his bad judgement today.

We are killing them on the boards, 22-15. Shooting pretty close, 43% them and 39% us. The big killers are turnovers, we have 7 to their 3, and three pointers, they have five and we have none.

Cunningham and Landers are 1-5 on free throws.

The lack of passion and intensity isn't a coaching issue though.

The guy being paid millions to produce successful basketball isn't to blame when the basketball is putrid.

We're down 8 at half. Slow down hauncho. We didn't hit a three and missed our free throws. A sold second half by the Flyers and a couple of Dukes misses and we have a game.

frisco flyer · #81 02-02-2019, 03:00 PM

Only Obi played to his potential in the first half.
If the rest of them wake up, we can come back.
Somebody needs to start making outside shots, and if they press, we need to break the press and shove the ball down their throat like Crutcher did the last time they tried to press.
