Subject: My thoughts on the game and the program

I'm going to remain positive about this season until I see final scores that bother me.
Losing to WVU by 3 does not bother me.
On the other hand, that was not a final four team we played last night. That's not a final four team in the Big East Tournament.
Losing to George Mason or IUPUI by 3 will bother me.
It's been a long time since we've had a freshman guard tandem like TJ and Mike.
I wonder how long teams will underestimate TJ's athletic ability. WVU actually looked like they were passing the ball to him a couple of times.
We seem to have a difficult time competing in the second half of games. I don't know if this is mental or physical. Could be physical. It's one thing to be more fit in a cardio vascular sense. It's another to spend an hour having a who out weighs you by 20-30 pounds lean on you.
If it's mental, this team needs a shrink. Probably need a shrink anyway to help with free throws.
I know it's too late, but a note to Bill Clark - don't waste two files by reaching in 30 feet from the hoop.

Agree with pretty much everything above but both IUPUI and George Mason are capable of beating us. We can play good and still lose to. either team in my opinion . They aren't pushovers. (NT) -- WashpaRick, Monday, December 13, 01:38:58pm

IUPUI is a good team with a lot of experience playing against good teams; they led Ohio State by nine with around ten minutes to go; fouls were heavily favoring OSU; IUPUI shot only one foul shot until OSU took control. OSU shot 30-35 foul shots. Make no mistake it will take another strong effort to win. (NT) -- Jules, Monday, December 13, 03:03:54pm
The Dukes must now put together a winning streak - five of the next seven games are home at AJP. We're going up against a good team in IUPUI and a very good team in George Mason. If we can get these 2, there's no reason why we can't run off 7 wins in a row. Over on the A-10 board, WH updated his A-10 predictions today - he has us in the 5th slot (behind Temple, Richmond, Dayton and X). (NT) -- Phoenix Rising, Monday, December 13, 05:04:16pm
where did they sit you guys at? we were practically in our AJP seats! and how in the world did WVU fans get the first and second row pretty much the whole way around. -- c, Monday, December 13, 05:45:53pm
- I was going to complain about that but it seemed petty. We were sitting about 10 rows down from the Captain Morgan Club. Were you down there by the four nacho eating blondes? They must have dropped fifty bucks on nachos. I told my godson they don't have to use hair color products in West Virginia. The water turns their hair yellow.
