Re: 1/27 | Duquesne Dukes | 12PM (NBCSN)

Great afternoon at the friendly confines of the Ryan Center. There were people lining up to get in at ten forty. We win, in part, because someone always steps to win a game. Jarvis, no points 4 fouls against Fordham. Today his offense kept us from totally disappearing and great defense in the second...

Ramulous - two good choices. Anderson came from Denmark and was truly uncoordinated. He would miss layups because he could not figure what foot to jump off on. Became a strong number five by his senior year.
