MBB: @ Duquesne (Wed Nov 20th)

Didn't see the game but was following the score... Seems like another bad first half... Somehow they have to put 40 together... Today they couldn't pull it out.

 

Troubling trend... To play half of games with fire...

If brown can get them the play full forty they will be a tough out... Would be at worst 3-1 right now if not 4-0...

 

Work in progress... Encouraged by the second half...

Just saw the box score come up. Quite a nice night for Hooley - 21 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. Great to see him be more aggressive, we're going to need more of that. Also a little better rebounding, at least on paper.

 

DJ Evans has 12 assists this year to 1 turnover.

 

58% shooting from the line and 28% from three are not going to win many basketball games.

0-5 from the field in the last 1:45 can't win close games that way.

 

Tough for this team to score if Sam only plays 4 min in the 1st half someone elase has to step up

Turned the game on right @ the beginning of the second half [glad I missed the first half]. Played outstanding basketball all facets for about 15 minutes--offense, defense, rebounding. The dukes could do nothing against us {maybe our first half, put them to sleep}. But they were able to re-group and we ran out of gas or reverted to the first half play. 0-5 in the last 1:45, plus only one field goal in the last 5&1/2minutes. UA could be a real scary team if they could ever figure a way to play a full 40 minutes and if the bench would play/support like they are capable.

I am sure this didn't help down the stretch either:
