They're 5-7 overall, 2-4 combined away from home, 0-2 in true away games (1 pt loss at Marshall, 20 pt loss at DePaul).
In the pre-season poll, Duq was picked 11th in the A-14.
Stats leaders, and several portal guys among them:
- Leon Ayers (6'5 185 Jr G) 12.9 ppg, 4.6 rpg, 21 steals, .886 at the line, takes 5 3s per game but only hits .254. He played JuCo for a couple years, at Mercer last season (12.2 / 3.8).
- Kevin Easley (6'7 230 So F) 12.8 ppg, 6.7 rpg, .459 from 3 but only takes 3 per game. He's on his 3rd stop: Chatt in 2018-19 (14.2 / 6.7, SoCon Rookie OTY), sat at TCU in 19-20, 4.5 / 3.7 at TCU last season.
- Amir Spears (6'3 185 Fr G) 10.9 ppg, 2.1 rpg, 31 assists, 20 steals
- Tre Williams (6'7 250 So F/C) 10.9 ppg, 6.4 rpg, 2.3 bpg. Woodstock guy, would have been in the same group as Tre Mitchell and TJ. Played at Indiana State the past two years, was MVC Defensive Team last season.
- Jackie Johnson (5'11 185 Fr G) 8.2 ppg, 1.3 rpg, .441 from 3, takes 3 3s per game
Looks like they play about 7 primary guys, then mix in another 3 with light duty.

12 Noon start on this one. NESN+ has the TV, ESPN+ the stream (maybe only outside of New England). Get to Mullins if you can.
