Adou Thiero entering portal, from Kentucky. From Quaker Valley HS. Maybe he wants to come back here?
We did offer him back in 2022, but so did you know who up the street.

Kid from Marshall dropped 20 on us this year.   Had some nice scoring games and some not so much, but just finished his soph year.

The school or athletic dept, whoever runs the NIL fund, needs to keep striking while the iron is hot.   I got more emails in the last week+ than I got in 3 years.   They suddenly learned how to make tshirts!!!   They need to keep that up.   Have the link for people to donate to the NIL fund, and even state that is how college sports work now, we need NIL funds to keep or get the best players we can, all sports.   

Dambrot was 6th highest earnings as coach in the A10.   Mooney, Ford, Grant(all three over $2M), Odom, Miller were ahead of him, Martin, Schmidt and McKillop were just behind him.   Valentine was at the bottom, and they had one of the best teams, and Ford was disgraced by the end of season.

Who are the high level coaches you seem to be referring to?  I really dont pay much attention outside of the A10 anymore.

I've pretty much settled in on Joyce being the next man up, and am looking forward to it.   IDK anything about NIL sources or whatever LeBron could have to offer, but I assume its good for the program.   

I would like to hear from Dixon, Necas, Barre, DiMichele, Rozier, Hronsky on their thoughts towards next year.  Be nice to see them at the Joyce presser this week.  I want to see a lot of Hronsky fade-aways next year.   :-)

This is gonna be a wild offseason.

That was a lot of fun, since that loss at Fordham, we rolled thru March, MARCH!!!  That was enjoyable.   Cant complain or feel bad about tonight, that was a top tier team with a NBA dude.   

Dont cry cause its over, smile because it happened.

A lot of questions for next year, but we are on the map again.   The hundreds of players entering the portal know who Duquesne is now.   I hope we hang onto Dixon, Barre, Necas, Hronsky and the PGs.   If so, and with a new coach, good things will continue to happen.

If what I read is accurate. Dayton and the Dukes have earned the A10 $8M so far.   The 2 teams get 75% of that, so right now we have $3M coming into the program.   Thats HUGE!   And we're not done yet.

Was the Chad Baker ejected for Auburn the same Chad Baker that was a Duke a few years ago?   Seems he is yet to grow up.

Congratulations on your win.

I'm not sure BYU really wanted to be there. We got robbed by the committee not putting us at the 4 seed in Salt Lake. It put a really dark cloud over the team and guys just weren't motivated.

One of our players has been fasting for religious reasons too so he was at like 25 or 50%. Some of the calls by the refs made no sense and favored one team.

I was ready to applaud you for coming back and responding, but how many excuses can one fan make? Oh by the way, one of the Dukes starters is fasting for Ramadan also.

Your reply is much nicer than mine.  Thanks.

Mark Madden was hilarious ripping Pitt for chunking out of the NIT.  He wants Duquesne to turn down a new City Game unless Pitt gives the Dukes 2 of 3 at the Coop.

I agree 100% we need something from them, but thats not enough.   That will even out in time, something strange happens.   I’d want 3 at least 3 in a row at Coop to even sit and discuss a new series(20 years).  Pitt is soooo big and tough, they should still win all 3 by a 25 pt avg.

I think Dixon needs to step up today.   He did nothing in Brooklyn.   His defense has to be strong, stay out of foul trouble and he needs to score.   Our guards cant do it all vs this a good team.   He needs to show folks who he is, like a 'hello world' type of day.

Sitting here trying to work, until noon, and I cant stop tapping my foot on the floor, in a nervous excitement.  
I know its 47 years, but I am 51 and dont recall a thing from 1977.   So this is my first time, its pretty cool, I could get used to this.

Props to channel 4, WTAE for their coverage of the Dukes.   Lots of nice video on their site, and they are sending Andrew Stockey out to Omaha.   Channel 2 kdka is staring at the Capel cam to see if he sneezes, and Rich Walsh cries on twitter.

Nice to see we are in contact with some players, those are bigger fellas, esp the Rutgers kid.   We need ball handlers, shooters, scorers.   Edwards from GW averaged 12 and 6, would be a nice fit.  He was heavily recruited out of HS, and chose GW, maybe he wants a crack at the power conf level?   Who knows.   But still, good to see we are in the mix.....even though we have to go play in the NCAA tournament!!!

It just seems way too early to be looking at this.    Portal should not open until AFTER the championship game.  Maybe then Capel can balance a NIT schedule by itself, and then the portal by itself.

Strange gym, odd crowd, we might have some support from the people of Omaha, who knows.   BYU could have a cold day shooting, it happens in the big dance, they have the pressure on them.   I agree Dixon, Necas, Drame will need to bring their lunchbox and be ready to put out all effort.   And I think they will.   

But we need to score, 60 pts wont win this one.   Need to really take care of the ball on offense, no sloppy TOs.
