Cuse will be taking a huge leap in Joewillies weekly poll.

I wouldn’t overstate this win. It’s a great win for Cuse and probably a must win for their season, but Duke has shown themselves to be vulnerable. While it keeps Cuse in the hunt, this game says more about where to rank Duke IMHO.

Should Duke even be ranked above Hopkins? Duke and Hopkins have played four teams in common: Jacksonville, Loyola, Delaware, and Syracuse. Blue Jays are 3-1 against those teams while Duke is 1-3.

Just sayin’ ….

Can’t say it doesn’t amuse me to see Hopkins, Duke, and Syracuse fighting for scraps.

Lot to cheer about today, lot of electricity in the place, lot of noise.

Beating SB and Duke may not mean much down the road and I still have doubts they're a Tournament team. but seeing consistent improvement in Gaits first year should be a good sign moving forward. As weird as it can still be to see Petro roaming the sideline in Cuse gear, I really appreciated hearing him mic'ed up in the huddles today. He has also had a nice embrace with Griffin Cook (who may be done for the year) on the bench after the game. Really like his passion, it's not hard to see why so many guys loved playing for him over the years.

Focused on Petro on the sidelines during play a little bit yesterday, he really is on that field mentally on every play, pass, GB, etc. His passion is incredible, a very intense boy who had to have been pretty happy with his D yesterday. They played a pretty good game with passion and intensity. The D was pretty to watch, they guarded their turf very nicely. Olexo and Kennedy are a couple of rough boys, you need to know where they are if you're going to tread in their territory. Both with good speed, both can play at the other end if they end up down there too.
MVP of the game is Phaup in my book. A really tough kid who came up with face offs at the most crucial time of the game coming down the stretch. He lost the face battle by one in the first quarter (no way they could be ahead then, right?), and lost it by one in the second quarter too. In the third quarter he won it by two, and coming down the stretch in the fourth quarter he won it by four which was just huge. Super nice play when he laid out to put a check on a long pole who had come up with the 50-50 ball, got it out of his stick and back on the ground and Cuse then came up with the ball. Pretty darn sure Cuse scored on that possession too. He's a very valuable asset to this team.
