Coffee, I agree with you whole heartily. This may not completely erase the embarrassing loss to Robert Morris & the very disappointing loss to Penn State, but it is an opportunity to beat a pretty good team & improve the Dukes' RPI. Don't forget about the ladies' game at 5:30 PM. The Dukes are ranked #35 by Sagarin; St Francis (5-5) at #130. Dukes are favored by 18 1/2 pts. Real Time RPI gives the women's team an RPI of 19 compared to St. Francis' RPI of 108. Real Time favors the Dukes by 19 pts. Note that on 12/01/10 St. Francis beat Pitt at the Pete by 14 pts.

In reply to: Coffee 's message, "G.M is a good team- ranked #73 in RPI. They already beat A-10 brothers Charlotte and G.W. along with Harvard and Fl Atlantic. They stand a good chance of winning the CAA. Since the Dukes lost to Penn State and WVU, this is our last chance to get quality non-conference win this season." on Tuesday, December 21, 04:09:28pm

although that's not a roaring endorsement considering how weak Pitt appears to be this season. Incidentally the Dukes beat St. Francis by 4 pts. last season.
