dayton is shooting the lights out, if they cool off, the dukes can make a run and win this game. for as poor as they shot in the first half, to only be down 5 is great. the first couple minutes of the second half are gonna set the tone!

I like our chances here. This is not as good as Duquesne can play, but they are only down 5 at the half. We really need to focus on feeding the ball to Shawn James inside to get some easy shots.
