Wha' Happened?!<\/p><\/div>\n

Really running the turd sandwich picture again would have been more apropos for the Dukes play tonight in a horrid\u00a073-67\u00a0loss to William & Mary, but didn’t want to belabor the point.\u00a0 I’ll be brief because Rob’s post below on National Signing Day is both happier and more encouraging today.<\/p>\n

Here’s the list of good points from tonight’s shitshow: Wells had a good night offensively.\u00a0 Hitchens had a decent night offensively.\u00a0 That’s it.<\/p>\n

An absolutley atrocious performance all the way around and really the first game since Kansas St. the Dukes were never really in at the end.\u00a0 Unreal because the Tribe sucks, but they’re kind of the anti-JMU: smart, savvy, tenacious, clutch-shooting, etc.\u00a0 Here’s the list of terribles for the Dukes tonight:\u00a0 Effort on defense, respect for the opponent, turnovers, missed foul shots, coaching (why the hell is Ben Louis anywhere near the floor and what in holy hell is doing throwing up, literally throwing up, threes late in the game), the rotation (where’s Trevon?), offensive creativity, and once again, EFFORT on DEFENSE.\u00a0 All at-large hopes are out the door, probably even for the NIT,\u00a0(and on a night when VCU was upset by Northeastern too) and at this point\u00a0we’re\u00a0really just crossing\u00a0our fingers they don’t finish the season and head into the CAA Tourney on a six-game skid.\u00a0 This performance was so wholly piss-poor it’s not worth another word.\u00a0 Ok, maybe one more, RRR-RRR-RRRR dumping out my load.<\/p>\n
