Welcome to SHOO-SHOO, RAH-RAH! The Duquesne Dukes Basketball Fan Message Board!
One of America's Great Message Boards - Any Inappropriate Posts Will Be Deleted!
I think we are seeing some revisionist history being practiced on this board. First -off the concern with Jake being shortchanged on minutes, is kind ridiculous since he clearly stated that he missed a month and a half of practice prior to the season, and was not in playing shape when the season started. So you can conclude that his minutes would have been limited until his legs and wind could handle more playing time. Iron Duke and Rayrich and others are on point. This is a frighin joke losing to a team like this and now sitting at 0-4. How many times do we have to say that Rozier is not a starting A-10 PG. He is a great kid, but what haven't we learned Dru!!! When they finally started Clark at PG last year and gave Rozier the 10-15 a game we blossomed. We should have recruited another PG, but I think Dinkins should be starting and is simply a better player. I like Wilborn and DiMichele needs to be starting, clearly obvious. None of the other transfers outside of Wilborn and Dinkins have showed me anything over 4 games. Necas is in a funk, but maybe that is related to who he is playing with. I liked when he was out there with Hronsky and Dixon, who also is in a funk, as Necas and and Hronsky at least know how to work the ball around. Necas and Dixon need to play and just play better though. The offense looks completely discombobulated and the D.....well, I can't count how many shots Milwaukee was able to get within 2 feet of the basket! That one sequence that someone mentioned off a foul shot by Milwaukee was shocking - no boxing out and they get multiple rebounds and then get fouled a second time. For the love of God, what is going on here!! We have ruined the momentum coming off our best season in 40 years!!! Good points, PistolPete. Heading into the Cayman tourney, here is what my rotation would be based on what we have seen so far in the 4 games (I don't have the luxury of watching practice, but I suspect that it is not significantly different than what we have seen).

He was hurt and didn't practice for 2 months before the season started. I love this kid; he is a hard-nosed Pittsburgh kid. G Dukes! CLK, your call was right on. Jake is almost back to full game strength; he did play all 20 minutes of the second half. You could see that he was pretty gassed with 6 or 7 minutes left in the game, but I think Dru realized you could not take him off of the court. It also looks like he has some good chemistry when Tre Dinkins is running the point. I can see Tre and Jake starting, with Kareem coming off of the bench. Nice post. Great stats. Let's hope the Dukes can pull it together and win some in the Cayman tourney. Go Dukes. I am looking for Jake to have a big night.

Thanks for the invite, however, I am not a podcast guy and think there a lot more smarter guys than me on this Boad. Just a complete lack of production from the post players. Have any of them been in double figures all year? On top of no offensive production they are getting beat badly on the glass. I expected a big step up from Dixon and Necas and they have both regressed. Dinkins and DeMichele are the only two guys that brought any game tonight. At 0-4 against 4 bad teams it is tough to see a light at the end of the tunnel. Dambrot brought this team out of the dark ages and I really don't want to go back but this team is starting to give me Darelle Porter/Danny Nee vibes. At this point we are looking like the worst team in the A-10.

PSN Article and post game interviews Cool! I will definitely check it out. Do you have any plans to also upload to the Apple Podcasts app, SoundCloud, or something of that sort? That would help with listening on the go. I like to enjoy podcasts on a drive. Sos Lebron,your Buddy Is Struggling,please Send Lots Of Money!!!!!!! It's hard to watch these games after last year's run. They can't rebound, defend against the three, or create turnovers. The offense looks out of sync. The entire team just looks slow. How many times has someone been out of position when the other team takes a three? I remember one play from last night when a Duquesne player lost the ball, fell onto the court, and stayed there watching before making a slow effort to get to his feet and chase down the play which resulted in another Panther score. Is it possible the pre-game practices are too intense and this is stealing the legs from the players? I seem to remember that KD eased up on these a bit at one point during last year's season. lucky...actually, I think Dambrot started one of his seasons 0-5. But my concern isn't as much as that we are 0-4 but how we are 0-4. I see little improvement from the defense since the first game. I see little improvement from the offense. Some of the guys he brought in aren't getting it done. Right now, we have 2.5 players...DiMichele and folks will disagree because he is small but Rozier. At least he knows what is going on. Hronsky is working hard but needs more skills. If the Dukes lose what little students are coming they probably won't get them back this year. Our first 3 games were against good teams. Last night's game was against a middle of the road team in a lower league. Unless a miracle happens, the A-10 teams will be putting a "W" before our game before they play us. Again, even when Dambrot lost there was strong defense and more competitiveness. Im shifting my attention to womens basketball asDukes travel to Kent State.I get to see a team that might be Hello fellow Duquesne Dukes Fans, Hello fellow Duquesne Dukes Fans, Hello fellow Duquesne Dukes Fans, Hello fellow Duquesne Dukes Fans, Hello fellow Duquesne Dukes Fans, The difference in the game was ball movement. The other guys were quick with getting the ball to where they wanted it, we were not. Jake is the only decisive player. Too many bad shots for us because the ball doesn’t move more precisely.

Furthermore the comparisons to defense being a priority during the Dambrot years are misguided in my opinion. I recall the Dambrot Dukes being victims of more than one fifty-point halves where there was literally no defense being played. Recall the Marshall visit to The Coop two years ago. The first half was a layup drill for Marshall. The Dukes were also largely helpless defensively in the New Mexico State game the same year. There were also games where the Dukes basically fouled nearly every defensive trip in the second-half of losses.
I think we all want to remember how well the Dukes played down the stretch last year, and tend to forget that there were many rough times through the other six years.
Let’s give this team and Coach the same consideration that we gave the previous teams under KD.Men's Basketball » Game Thread - Milwaukee Panthers » Yesterday 6:40 pm

I don't particularly like the +/- stat in the box score, but it was pretty telling in last night's game. Only 3 Dukes were in positive territory: DiMichele +17.7, Dinkins +9.3 and Hronsky +0.2 (BTW, Hronsky at the top of the zone defense was effective slowing down Milwaukee; I liked the strategy and the defensive change).
Now, on the very negative side.... Crawford -18.8, Corbett -18.1, Rozier -17.8, Edwards -11.5
It's evident that Edwards, Corbett and (now that we have seen) Crawford are really struggling to fit in and find their roles. Rozier playing 36 minutes is almost coaching malpractice (I understand it; up to last night, we didn't know if Dinkins could run the point and Jake wasn't fully back).
Finally, here are the bad offensive ratings from the game last night (100 is average): Rozier 58, Corbett 71, Crawford 71, Dixon 79, Edwards 81 and Necas 93. On the positive side, Wilborn 181, DiMichele 162, Dinkins 143 and Hronsky 100.

I am proud to announce the creation of a new podcast titled "All Dukes Sports Talk" it will be hosted by B.B. Flenory and Robert Healy and (myself) Rudy Longarini (CalDuke on this message board). The purpose is to give fellow Duquesne Sports fans another vehicle to express there opinions and celebrate everything about Duquesne University Sports.
In line with that, being the producer of the podcast, I felt the need to expand and include our talking topics to all Dukes Sports... even the obscure and lesser known sports, like (Track and Field, Bowling, Swimming, Tennis , Volleyball etc...) The last segment on every show will be devoted about to one of these sports. Of course, our primary focus will be on Basketball (Men's and Women's teams), the Dukes Football Team and (Men's and Women's) Soccer Teams, as well. Our first episode ran a bit longer (53 minutes),than expected. Because, about the first 20 minutes or so, was spent by the 3-hosts introducing themselves and their journey of being and becoming Dukes Sports fans. We addressed last years Men's and Women's Teams and their individual team's runs, in- season and eventual post-season successes.....We didn't start talking about this season start, by both B-Ball teams, until about the 25 minute mark. I predict that in the future each new episodes will be about 30 mins to 40 minutes long. As I stated in the video we will be doing this on a weekly basis, while school is in session. Taking summers off...
We're all, the (3-hosts) doing this because of our love for Duquesne Sports... with no expectations, other than you as a viewer and fellow Dukes fan, will seek us out and watch us, each and every week. The best way to support us is to watch every week (all the way thru each episode), as this will help us with the algorithms and searches on Youtube itself.
