No game tonight?

It will be a good preview of our first-round game in Brooklyn against the only team we have beaten there since the tournament moved there.
 
Davis throws up a fade away brick for our first shot. CLANG!!!!!
 
Defense has actually be doing well so far. Up 9-8 despite poor offense.
 
If it goes south you can always catch curling on NBCsp. til the UNC UVA game comes on.

Nancy would you ask your son to use the backboard for those short shots.
 
Man, our lack of caring about defensive rebounds was never more evident than that possession with 3 Duquesne shots, all airballs, that finally resulted in a shot clock violation. I hate to say it, but Terry does not seem very aggressive sometimes on defense. Quite the opposite.
 
Out rebounded 17 to 11 so far. Up 40-30 thanks to 12 Duquesne turnovers
 
We do not have any player inside the 3 point arc when we shoot!!!!!
 
Up 42 to 32 at the half. Changing the channel to UVA to watch real teams play.
 
I'm sorry, but either our guys are dead tired, disinterested, upset with the coaching staff or just not hard-nosed basketball players. We are ahead by 10 because Duquesne sucks out loud. We have done some nice things, no doubt about it, but man do we take a lot of plays off. Frustrating to see that over and over. Hope it changes next year.
 
If we played smarter, we'd be world beaters. Still nice to be up by 10 at halftime. But I'm not confident that we can hold it. We don't seem to be in synch on our passes. Lots of teams , like the Spiders, love to hoist up open 3 pointers with no potential rebounders in place. I've never understood that, I'd love to see the statistics. It seems like, most of the time, you are merely turning the ball over.
 
Duquesne is not that bad of a team, they look strong inside, and their guards are good. But, we are a better team than them, and potentially better than our record indicates. Avoid silly mistakes, and we will do well tonight.
 
I know this a meaningless game against a team that is not all that good, but solid first half. We are shooting really well. Terry is playing well.
