We have a bad losing streak to VCU (never beat them) and I believe another losing streak against Richmond too... It would be great to snap both those streaks just like ours with SBU in this final run here!

We had never beaten Davidson until this season. We had lost 8 in a row against Richmond (and were 1-22 since they joined the conference) until we beat them last season. We had lost 8 in a row (and 14 out of 16) against St. Bonaventure until this game. We had lost four in a row against URI until we came back against them last season. We were 1-7 in Philadelphia since Temple left the conference until we blewout St. Joe's on their floor this season. The home team in our series with St. Louis had won 12 out of 14 games, until we beat them on their floor this season to finish the sweep. VCU is the only team that's ever been in the A-10 that we haven't beaten (although our win over Butler was when we were both in the Midwestern Collegiate Conference). It's time for that streak to end. Then the next one Dambrot will end will hopefully be our NCAA Tournament drought.

A very unenjoyable evening that was!

I agree, it was a horrible night.

I was there, on the bench.  

Hey El Duque hope you're well and agree with you although I haven't heard yet whether he or any other Dukes have a shot at being drafted.  Invite to the Combine will tell us more about that but I do think he is the best man to man cover db I have seen since Bodden and only worry about his shorter stature working against him with  pro scouts Great kid and family too!!!

Just did some youtube searching for recent videos, and came upon some interesting results.
First Love competed in the National High School Hoops Festival at Dematha High School in DC in December, and there are two videos of their games in which they lost. In the first game against Rock Creek Roesing hits at least 6 threes in the video, and down by 20 in the fourth quarter he made 4 of those trying to make a comeback. It's too little too late, but impressive nonetheless that he got his team back in the game with some clutch threes which I'd love to see him be able to do for the Dukes. In the next game against NCA, Roesing again hits several threes. The end of game situation resulted in First Love needing a three to tie it at the buzzer. The ball went to him, but got blocked. In the final recent video I found from late January, First Love Academy plays Lyndhurst and wins, but not with too much Roesing influence, at least on the video. It seems like First Love Adademy is a very talented basketball team and has the types of players that will take it to the hoop successfully so Jett does not much. Honestly, in most of these videos he seems to be like not a huge defensive contributor, and just a spot up shooter on offense... at the high school level. He does have two good dishes in the three videos and these are just highlight tapes so I cannot truly come to that conclusion. While it would be fantastic to have a reliable three point shooter, which I hope Roesing will be for Duquesne, I really hope he has what it takes to play solid D and run a good offense to get some substantial playing time.

Do their fans always chant "you are ugly" at the opponents or was that something targeting Maceo and Mike?   Next year I would be on their players like stink on poo.    But we have no student fans, even if they get a new student section in a new arena and the team is kicking butt,  23 kids will show up.
And why does anything think the Reilly Center is anything nice?   Its a high school gym.   It gets loud cause its tiny and old.   Looks like something Penn Hills and Connellsville would play in.

Against the Bonnies at RMU there was a group of 4 or 5 students at half court behind the scorer's table giving it to Bonnies players all game, even getting players including Lofton and Osun to interact with them during the game and after they won. Now, I'm not sure if it worked... It might've even put a spark underneath Lofton's ass that day, but we do have that from a few of our fans. Pretty sure they called them ugly too lol.
