Rowe is frustrated based on the presser today. He says the team needs confidence and needs a leader(s). He says he is looking forward to being able to practice and haven't been able to do that much due to the road games.
Radford is confident and don't shoot themselves in the foot. They aren't flashy and don't try to be. They are everything we aren't right now. I just don't see how this game is remotely close the way both teams are playing right now.
Radford 76
JMU 60

Game time!
I have a major bet in the household tonight.
Go Dukes!

Develle w/ a ticky-tack foul. I don't mind him fouling but I wish they were in an attempt to block a shot or something. Not 25 feet away from the basket. 17-15 Radford w/ 11:30 to go

At least the Dukes are hanging in there

23-23 w/ 7:09 left. Shooting pretty well from outside. Not much offense from our bigs.

32-23 Dukes 4:04

32-23 Dukes. Playing really well! Great hustle tonight

35-35 at the half

That was entertaining for sure. Stucky is on fire from downtown shooting 5-8.
We really can’t expect 3pt shooting to stay that hot.
I would like to see more ball pressure and first pass denial so JMU can use its tremendous length advantage on the perimeter to get deflections and steals.
At times, Radford puts 3 guards on the court who are all 6’ or shorter.

Would love to hear the Radford halftime speech

Good effort by the Dukes so far. Radford (in my opinion) is a more talented team and they are making us pay with a number of “and ones”.

Outscored 9-0 to start the second half. RU on a 21-3 run

All Radford so far in the 2nd half. it's almost as if they made halftime adjustments and we didn't. Is that possible? Radford on a 21-3 run.

We were up 32-23 with about 3 minutes left. Now 35-44. 21-3 swing.

Finally got a FG in this half. 37-44.

Seems like we always go cold at the end of every half and usually the beginning of each. Need to learn how to close out.

I like the move to the small lineup here. The offense was completely stagnant and almost turned the ball over several times. How long before Parker plays 25 to 30 per game?

53-49 Radford w/ 8 minutes left. Boys are hanging in there. Need a run

Got to love college basketball when one week you can almost get knocked off by the worst team in the nation and the next you are hanging tough with a top 25 team

62-60 Dukes 3:21 to go

62-60 Dukes w/ 3;21 left. Mosely is on fire from long range. We've got them in foul trouble. If we hit our FTs we can take this one.

I haven't heard a crowd come through on Madizone like this since the Devon Moore, AJ Davis days.
