\"Confidence<\/a>We saw a slight uptick in fan confidence among poll voters after the comeback win over Lehigh. 60% of respondents thought the Dukes were playoff bound. Only 56% believed the same thing heading into the game in Bethlehem. That makes perfect sense to me. The Dukes did some stuff very well in that win, but definitely exposed some weaknesses as well. I think we saw signs of encouragement, but by no means does this team appear to be a playoff lock. Hopefully the Dukes can take another step forward today and be hitting on all cylinders by the Nova game. That game is the big test.<\/p>\n
