My lean is towards the Dukes ( Here is why ) :
1. THE EMERGENCE OF MELQUAN BOLDING :Here is a kid who had offers from Louisville,St Johns,Florida St,and Villanova.. Big Time Recruit EVERHART landed out of Massachusetts. He scored 23 in the round 1 win over UMASS.. He scored 24 yesterday to match Aaron Jackson for high scoring honors
2. DEFENSIVE STOPPERS : Jackson will get the call on defense. It will be his job to slow down Christmas. But they have others who can matchup well with Christmas if Jackson needs a rest
3. 3 POINT SHOOTING : Dukes have made atleast 10 3's in each of the three games they have played in Atlantic city.. They have made 31 of 74 in the A-10 tourney (42%)
I really like this spot for Duquesne..They are not real big, they have a decent bench, they have a 4 or 5 guys who can knock down the three.
Temple is coming off close win over X, big upset over the #1 seed in the tourney.. They only made 7 field goals in the second half yesterday
Christmas hit two threes with less than two minutes to play that got them to the championship game ..
This is it for Aaron Jackson - DO or DIE today in A-10 Championship Game ...
Duquesne has found a rythme and i like the way they are playing .. They have a deep bench and athletic players who can withstand the grind of four straight games. I feel Temple has a liability with the OLMOS ( 7 footer ) .. The pace the Dukes will force does not favor him being on the floor much ..
I like the dukes and not just because i'm a homer .. cause i feel they are playing better,i feel they are playing their best basketball right now and i feel Temple relies way too much on Christmas and his supporting cast is not as good as Jackson's with Bolding,Clark,Damian Saunders !
Good Luck ...
