This should be a friskier crowd than the first 4 games. The resale prices on tickets has picked up for sure.

 

I'm still seeing a bunch of $4 and $5 tickets on stubhub.

It's a trap in the sense that:

-The Dukes have a couple of legit dudes that can take over games

-Student section will be empty for Thanksgiving

-Best team we've played thus far, but with a name that doesn't get you excited

 

Talented opponent plus apathetic crowd is a recipe for a trap.  Obviously Hoiberg and the team aren't overlooking Duquesne, but the casual fans are and that is going to cause some awkward nervous energy in the arena if we fall behind.  And that's the sort of negative energy that can effect the team.

 

I think there will be good student support. The tix is in their season package. I know of some going for sure

So what do we need to be up by to incorporate Lloyd into the game tonight?  You can’t just add him to the rotation can you? Big game and all?

Would need to be a blowout.  He would be end of rotation even for a "small" game.   Hasn't been close to playing with the regular rotation guys.

If the refs are going to let Grant flop all game, this is going to be a long night.

[Silverbacked1]

Okay I now remember the idiot that sits behind me sometimes. And me bringing the wrong earbuds. 
 

Don’t know what everybody is yelling about he threw his arms up on his first three shots until he gets called for something he isn’t stopping

[hskr4life]

Flop city

[cozrulz]

reffing is trash

[Silverbacked1]

It is going to be a long night if this is how this crew is going to call this game. 

[Cazzie22]

Man, we have to stop falling for ball fakes on the perimeter, especially our big guys.  These guys are clearly the best we have played.

[Silverbacked1]

Will interesting to see how Sam handles this flaying about that Dea Dea does

[MichHusker]

Didn't think i'd end up hating this Duquesne team, but it turns out I really do

[1HuskerDad]

Grant is a flopper.  Refs better not fall for that all night…

[Huskerbballfan]

Dangerous lineup without Brice, Keisei or Mast I think you need at least one of those guys in at all times

[REDZONEDAN]

We need to get Mr. Flopper into foul trouble.

[Bugeaters1]

That Kueneman guy is a joke of a ref.

They are the whineiest bunch we’ve played yet.  Holy cow.

[Bugeaters1]

 

[Silverbacked1]

They are mixture of okay Euro player, over athletic African kids and street ballers. 
can see how this team is going to win a lot of games 

[brfrad]

With our depth we should be able to wear them down.  Duquense is not the deepest team.
