I didn’t expect it. That is what happens when you listen to TV talking heads whose employers contract with and primarily cover power conferences. The “experts” suffer from familiarity bias and I fall into their trap at times.

But, Duq is on a roll, peaking at the right time and playing hard for their coach.
Exactly.

Even the MTN west teams. Like Colorado St vs UVA was a mismatch. They refuse to imagine that mid majors have good teams. This BYU team is slow as molasses.

Regarding the “experts”…

One of the things I loved about Coach Chaney at Temple is He laughed in the face of the “expert” bias and would take his teams in the teeth of the beast to compete. No inferiority complex with him.

The A10 coaches need to adopt his mindset. No inferiority, no intimidation, no fear.

Man, Duquesne has missed a bunch of good looks

Knock those down and the Cougs are toast

Make us money Dukes!

Posted: **Thu Mar 21, 2024 1:26 pm**

Duquesne in the membrane!

I'm just pretending they're Rhody at this point

It really reminds me of our tournament game against Creighton.

Creighton is SOFT, BYU is SOFT

Hard nosed defense and quick guards rule in the dance baby

Good response from Duq to push the lead back onto 8 after that BYU run. Excellent half for Duq.

38-30 Duq. Halftime

Barkley had Rhody beating Duke in his ‘18 bracket

Good memory.

Charles usually has an entertaining perspective. I enjoy watching him in studio during the Tourney.

Duq 46-32. 1644

Let’s go !

Posted: **Thu Mar 21, 2024 2:22 pm**

Man I hope Duquesne can hold on here, but they have a lot of mental midgets on their team (uh oh probably should not use that language). How do you get a lane violation on a two shot foul. Dumb. Clark III brilliant with that dumb foul in the first half and a dumb pass that led to his third foul. Same for Drame with his third. I hope they hold on but I have my doubts.

Posted: **Thu Mar 21, 2024 2:34 pm**

Duquesne is not getting good shots right now. They need to regroup.

Posted: **Thu Mar 21, 2024 2:36 pm**

Duquesne finally gets off 52 points after being stuck there for a while.

Posted: **Thu Mar 21, 2024 2:36 pm**

What is up with coaches not playing their best players. Let's keep the big lefty guy on the bench while they have no offense. Seriously that should be the easiest thing to do as a coach.

Posted: **Thu Mar 21, 2024 2:41 pm**

Duquesne goes cold as soon as I place a bet on them

This would be a BRUTAL choke

Posted: **Thu Mar 21, 2024 2:44 pm**

Fight Duquesne fight !

Posted: **Thu Mar 21, 2024 2:49 pm**

Let's go!!!!

Give the ball to Dae Dae damnit!

Posted: **Thu Mar 21, 2024 2:50 pm**

Nut cutting time! Close it out, Duq!

This, and in the OOC, is when the A10 needs to get it done with a win. It’s not just good enough to be competitive; have to win our share, too.

Finish those Big 12 twits!

Posted: **Thu Mar 21, 2024 2:53 pm**

WHY THE FUCK ARE THEY HAVING 95% DAE DAE INBOUNDING THE BALL HOLY SHIT

Posted: **Thu Mar 21, 2024 2:55 pm**

They did it again...lucky for him he got it back good lord

These are the games that still make the tournament great. Much of college basketball is ruined, but not the tourney. Great job making foul shots. Love Duquense winning, but can’t root for Dayton

Posted: **Thu Mar 21, 2024 3:03 pm**

Could not be more happy to be wrong! Way to go Dukes! The A10 needed that in a major way. Many thought they were over seeded and were a nine and a half point dog, which was by far the most for any six eleven match up. They play very good defense, no question about that.

Posted: **Thu Mar 21, 2024 3:06 pm**

I hope the Duq admistration and fans remember this feeling when it’s time commit to their program.

Iron sharpens iron. Step up A10!

When they came to the Ryan Center they played really physical. I'm glad they won for the conference.

Agreed, they came into the Ryan and pushed us around all game. Good for them, keep it rolling.

The way things are going with conferences and rosters I’m not going to think this is going to bring URI back to relevance. I can’t stand Dayton and their fans.

I didn’t pick the Dukes , but really wanted too. Good for the conference for sure.

Posted: **Thu Mar 21, 2024 3:53 pm**

I am happy for Duquesne and its fans. 47 years without making the NCAA is tough. They now get to add a 1st round win.

Posted: **Thu Mar 21, 2024 4:23 pm**

Morehead St giving Illinois a game. Winner plays the Dukes.

Is there a delay on the live Dayton Game? I'm streaming on Cox, but the score is different on CBS. CBS is about a minute ahead.

Yes, I'm watching TBS. The score on CBS.com is 13-11 Dayton

Posted: **Thu Mar 21, 2024 4:58 pm**

An A10 team that started 0-5 in conference just beat a Big 12 team who was ranked AP 21st and finished 5th in conference.

I don’t wanna hear people saying we can no longer compete with P5 teams.

Posted: **Thu Mar 21, 2024 4:59 pm**

Score 13-13 now

Posted: **Thu Mar 21, 2024 5:02 pm**

Illinois pulling away

Duquesne the only upset so far

PeterRamTime wrote: ↑2 months ago Dayton looks dumb out there right now

I think they were at 20 pts with 5-6 minutes left in the half. Only 5 pts since.

Dumb offensive foul from Holmes on their last possession of the half.

Nevada is tough. Solid team. They could win 2 games if they play D like they did the last several minutes.

Posted: **Thu Mar 21, 2024 5:36 pm**

Anthony Grant is sometimes a terrible game coach

Wtf were they doing? 16-0 run by Nevada to end the half.

That may be the case (even though I do not agree) but what do you want him to do? He called a time out, brought back Holmes before the four minute time out that he was hoping to get to to give him some rest. Dayton is an offensively challenged team period. Nevada is an excellent defensive team. Dayton plays very good defense but they have that one guy that can make a bucket period. Kind of what I expected. Runs happen in basketball, yes 16-0 runs. Nevada was way under seeded, this was always going to be a very difficult game for them. They shot 3 for 12 from 3. To have any chance, they have to shoot 50% from three. Not likely to happen which is why I thought the A10 would be out of the tourney by 7 PM. But Dukes came through.

Oh I know that, it just seems like he doesn't adjust well offensively sometimes. They will fall in love with the three big time and lose.
