A 10 hour bus ride? In this weather no less? Well, that should build team character.

We may get that desired 20 game win season again! Too bad the weather is so bad, I was expecting a full house for Sacred Heart.

Dukes have looked good at home. Their shooting has been much improved as well. I think we have a comfortable W in front of a smaller than usual crowd...

JMU 82
SHU 70

Smaller crowd? Geez...that's hard to believe!

Somewhat OT but did you watch any of the games hosted at the new(ish) Barclay's center for the "Progressive Legends Classic"? The teams were solid, VCU, Villanova, Oregon and Michigan, but I swear there couldn't have been more than 2,000 people there. Wonder if that's a by product of the holidays or the location of the tourney.

Anyway, can't imagine many people in the 'Burg getting amped up for SHU in the Convo. I'll be watching in Madizone from the snowy lands of NJ!

I am going to this game. I figure there will be so few people in the convo, Brady may let me play a few minutes as a sign of fan appreciation.

i can't stand all these neutral site tournaments.

no good team will play a road game anymore against anyone else good. it's extremely rare to have two top 25 teams play at a home site anymore.

and people wonder why college basketball season from Nov-Dec is completely off most radars.

Team is looking good. Up 12-2.

Under 13 to play to half. Up 15-7.

Hall with the drive and slam. That was very nice :-). Up 19-7.

Hall must have big hands. Twice he has gone up to dunk, successful once, and he has appeared to be able to palm the ball easily.

Up 25-10. 9:21 to half

Jackson Kent is now 13-20 from three point land on the year. That's 65% for those of you scoring at home.

Hopefully we continue to increase the lead over them. 27-11.

They're really not a good team. We need to destroy them. Even with the UVA game we have one of the worst SOS in the country. If we're going to play these bad teams we need to not just beat them, but put a good margin between us.

True but games like this can really build chemistry and hopefully proved beneficial at the end of season.

Completely agree. Just saying, that Radford game was too close. Even the Longwood game probably should have been a wider margin to really distance ourselves. The team is definitely improving already and seems to have great potential.

ohio state beat this team 106-48

Halftime up 41-27. Impressive improvement from the team.
