Everybody is ice cold so far, and Duquesne isn't missing anything.

Well they are making us look like garbage right now.

With 8:21 remaining in the first half, Coach Hurley calls a timeout. His team is behind, unable to get their game going, apparently content to loft outside shots that do not connect.
Meanwhile, the 1-on-1 defense by the Dukes has been "A+".

If we are down by 20 at halftime I will still expect to win. Duquesne is one of the worst 3 or 4 teams we will play this year. Somebody has to make some shots, though. Pathetic effort so far.

A game like this was bound to happen at some point, happens to every team. Just a shame its happening in front of a sold out crowd right after we enter the top 25. Long way to go of course, got to get this turned around.

Are they going to call Rene Castro for that stiff arm with his left hand at some point? Keep waiting for the whistle on that and it never comes. It’s not exactly subtle, either.

I feel like nobody calls this anymore, really frustrating. There have been a few guys this year who are so blatant about it and it never gets called.TruePoint wrote:Are they going to call Rene Castro for that stiff arm with his left hand at some point?

Nice job to claw back within 6 to close the half. Very winnable game still. Just have to come out strong to start the half. Hopefully that steal and dunk gets Terrell going.

Re: 1/27 | Duquesne Dukes | 12PM (NBCSN)
That JT steal and dunk should set the tone for the second half.
We made one jump shot, our first shot, that entire half.
We are only down six.
We start hitting jump shots we pull away.

They called a carry so you never know. (FWIW, I didn't think the carry was that bad, probably shouldn't have been called honestly.)
I agree, Adam. This should be a win. Maybe the lid will come off going the other way in the second half.

Yeah, glad it’s only 6. Could have been much worse. 0-7 from deep, Rhody can’t possibly shoot any worse then they did in that halfadam914 wrote:Nice job to claw back within 6 to close the half.

Hopefully they get fired up and start hitting shots after Danny rips them a new one

Need to get JT and EC going. Come out of the gates on fire . Duquesne looks like a solid well coached team with a good game plan

Welp so much for it's only six. This game makes me want to shake someone. It's just basketball. Make some shots.

Re: 1/27 | Duquesne Dukes | 12PM (NBCSN)
Would really suck to lose at home in our first ranked home game like this....
I'm actually a little worried.
We are bound to be able to get a damn run going I mean come on!!!!

Haha come out of the timeout and throw a bounce pass at the guys feet. What a mess this is.

I would have thought it was impossible, but the first three minutes of the second half have been the worst three minutes of the game. I'm going to be sick.

The Rhody team is completely out-of-sorts, and the Ryan Center crowd, which has not seen a defeat in their building this season, is quiet. Duquesne is gaining more confidence as the game goes on.
An upset is brewing in the Ocean State.
With 15:59 remaining in the game, Rhody is down by 15 on its home court in Kingston.

Bring in the end of the bench for the rest of this game, pathetic. This is last year's Fordham-level performance, maybe worse.

I wouldn't pay to watch this. I mean, I don't expect this to happen again so I'll be there. But if you were on the fence and you finally decided to jump in today, I could not blame you for not wanting to do this to yourself again.PeterRamTime wrote:So much for those sellouts the rest of the way if we keep this up.

Completely flat, need an almost impossible run at this point, where is Tom Brady to help with the comeback?

Yeah, its just the timing of this type of performance that sucks. Into the top 25, sell out crowd and then this. But in the grand scheme of things its just a shit performance that happens.

Can we just own these last 12 minutes please? I will forgive the first 28 if this team can just play the way they're capable the rest of the way.
