Heard through the grapevine 'Cats won the Duquesne scrimmage by 8 points. Don't know how to measure that considering Dukes are being completely rebuilt w/a new coach and were picked 8th preseason in the A-10.
Perhaps should have beaten them by more than that ... or not. Heard Boals had an 8-man rotation but have no clue who started and who didn't. But did hear Pavlo was a stud and the leading scorer. Also heard team overall was hot on 3-pointers.
Again, Dukes are being rebuilt and this is October so digest that as you will.
Also ... don't know the scrimmage guidelines and that makes a difference as well.
'USUALLY' ... teams go something like 15 min 1-on-1s, 15-min 2-on-2, 15-min vs. man defense, 15-min vs. zone defense, 10-15 minutes for backups. Combine the scores and declare a winner.
But if you're a defensive minded team, and you win the 1-on-1 and man defense segments, but lose all others, you might not be that upset. And vice-versa. So while these are great and much needed, you really need to know the particulars to know if the scrimmage was successful, and I don't have that info.
Sorry.
