Yup. Not sure what the deal is. Watching live stats instead...

Working great here, but using my phone. Small screen not so hot, but at least it's a great game. Now to hold on.

horrendous 5th foul on phillips.

he couldn't have stood more still and stationary and gets called for a block.

true but caa refs blow - trying to take charges at the end of games has been a recipe for disaster all year long.

never seen a team so bad at closing out games

Wow. The Dukes had this thing won and were beating CoC all night to loose balls. If nothing else, it has been entertaining albeit frustrating to lose the lead again. OT here we come

Unreal. Going to be another heartbreaking loss.

This team deserves better. Can’t get any breaks, certainly not getting any calls.

That **** usually evens out over time. This year. Not so much for us.

Wow. That last and-1 for CofC was atrocious. The whole play should be sent to the league office.

Snowden lost this game. Twice.

one thing is for sure. the team won't miss the graduation of Snowden and McLean.

The phantom 5th foul on Phillips chsnged the game.

If he doesn’t get called for that, we’d win that game

Another frustrating blown lead as has become the pattern. Ugh, the Dukes wasted a great offensive game by Lewis against the league’s best defense.

In other news, Wear Purple might get banned from Vegas. He has to be destroying the book with another underdog cover.

Just win the close ones. That’s what I would do!

JMU beat this team all night. These refs were the worst I've seen in a long time. Guessed at calls in at lazy way instead of watching. Dukes can win the tournament though. Can play with anyone in this league

They are entertaining, just wish we could end up with more W's.

There are still important CAA games left in the next 10 days. The bottom 5 seeds play each other often so there could be some shuffling in the Keener round invitees. I don’t think JMU is locked in yet but they need a lot of help from Elon, UNCW, Drexel, and Delaware.

The Keener round is a deathwish for any team hoping to pull off some March Madness. 4 wins in 4 days as an underdog each game. Very low odds of that happening.

With a little more experience and depth this will be a good team next year when the rest of the Brady Bunch graduates and row can recruit some more guys like he brought in this year.

this team has amazing potential for next season. Need to add a few pieces and some more toughness and watch out.

IF next year they lose game after game, then we know its coaching, but for now im willing to be patient.

Great effort....tough loss....GO DUKES

Snowden with some lazy passes then a turnover by Jones late in the game otherwise the Dukes took real good care of the ball. To me the big play was late in regulation- Dukes had the lead and got a couple of offensive rebounds. Lewis should have took the ball out and reset. The clock is important there. I can't fault their aggression but as that was happening I was screaming at the TV. Lewis is a star and Banks played well also . Jacobs was solid too. Tough loss to a solid Charleston team.

I got so provoked with the streaming last night. The CAA has done a horrible job of games on tv in football and basketball this year.

I agree on the refs, at least for a long stretch in the second half, when they called 7 more fouls on us than COC. (Hey Refs! we are the home team, is there some kind of conspiracy going on?) That was key in a close ball game when we have 6 players with 3 or more fouls and COC has just 3. Hard to continue to play your best D when 3 guys have four fouls, and are trying to stay in the game.

IMO the key moment was with less than 2 minutes and a 2 point lead, Stuckey had the ball out on top, it was obvious that we had no idea what to do. He looks at the bench and hands it off to Jones who also didn't know, I am yelling Time Out! Time Out! Too late, Jones lowers the ball and gets it snatched away. Critical Turnover at the 1:33 mark. COC ties it up and we never score again in regulation and head to OT.

Anyway I enjoy watching this team play and compete. Lewis's complete game might be in the top ten category. Banks, I love me some Banks when he puts his nose down and dribble penetrates and finishes. He's got to stay out of foul trouble. Jacobs looks in better shape as the season moves on and has lost the deer in the headlight look and seems much more confident on the floor.

Prior to the game when I heard some others lament that we were playing the top team, I said it doesn't matter, we can play with anyone. We just got to be a bit better at the end.
