So much for that early energy and pace. Now we're just stuck in the half court offense running 5 straight pick and rolls that don't work and then firing up a contested shot.

Now it's time to see if we just give up or handle some adversity.

The feel of this game took a 180. Only positive now is Zek looks like he's getting it back.

Apparently all you have to do is fall down after you take a shot and its automatically a foul even if nobody touches you...

This is what I was worried about. You knew eventually they would clean it up and we wasted a lot of opportunity before they did.

That's a fantastic play by him. Zek, without question, pushed off. Props to Duquense for playing great d and doing the little things like drawing a charge on Cam and Zek. We never do that.

Agree on the flop. Basketball is starting to resemble European soccer. Not enjoyable to watch.

What I don't get is how do you build a roster this bad on the defensive end? What is the staff doing? How do you scout these players and not see how horrible they are on the defensive end? All you have to do is watch these guys play one game and see how terribly they defend.

Also, Fou takes so many dumb shots, and he's the worst player I've seen in a while with setting a pick..People wonder why he doesn't play. Those mistakes add up the longer you play him. I love his potential, but man, he is so inconsistent.

Ya, I mean, drawing charges has been a part of the game for a very long time. I wish we had someone that could do it. Zek should have gone up strong instead of bumping into him and pushing off. He had the step on him just throw it down.. I'm so sick of looking horrible under Archie. I understand it's year two, but why do we look like we are regressing? It doesn't matter what year you're in. The team should always be improving.

Kortright and Montgomery final look healthy. Cool off Clark, clean up poor rebounding and make few shots and we’ll be ok. Miller seems to be struggling a bit today distributing the minutes.

What’s up with all the season ticket no shows in S104?

Good turnout otherwise - let’s not lay a 2nd half egg.

Dukes were launching 3s. Wonder if they can sustain that. Our shot selection needs to be much better. Not over.

Well we have gotten much better since getting blown out by 30 twice in a week.

Our shot selection (need a descriptive verb worse than) sucks out loud.

Watching us defend (not) 3s brings me back to the Jim Baron nightmare.

In another thread, someone mentioned that season-ticket holders don't get the free gifts they used to get. There's not enough bobbleheads and t-shirts in the whole world to make paying hundreds of dollars to watch this crap palatable.

Now I'm going back to my weak-ass Florida 151-proof Everclear.

That's an extremely low bar lol. Most teams in the A10 aren't being blown out by 30 AT ALL.

Did not see it that way. Defender did not have position, was not vertical, and contact was made in the shot attempt. Did I miss something?

He tried to put the kid on his hip and create some contact, which is fine, but then he pushed him off with his right arm, and the kid sold it perfectly. Easy call.
