Rumor has it there will be a press conference but not this week… it IS a Catholic University.

I don’t think Dru can be very demanding in terms of salary for his first few years since he is not in a position of power… an assistant looking for his first head coaching job.

Though of course not all at once, she made 8 in a row.  There was a nice crowd there.

On a side note - and not wanting a new thread, I was also at the girls game tonight.  Mr. Dixon, Mr. Williams, and Mr. Clark were also there.  I talked a little with Tre.  What a great, polite, and kind young man.  I thanked all of them for what they did for everyone and they were polite, humble, and thankful.  Those are 3 high character men.

Things are so crazy in college sports.  One day you are doing well and the next moment you are in a well.  I remember a few years ago how strong Robert Morris was and we also had trouble beating them.  Since they changed leagues they have gone steadily down.  Today, they lost 4 players to the portal and two assistant coaches.
Wow!

Styles...you bring up excellent questions.  We have no idea of the answers but your comments are fair.  I was also wondering if Dru does get the job, would he bring back the other Thomas brother who was just let go with the whole staff at St. Louis.  He was only there one year and the "gossip" was that he may have left the. Dukes because Dru was brought on and kind of got ahead of him positionally.   Coach Thomas was the person responsible for recruiting Clark and he is a very, very good recruiter.

Harper and Gormley have some tough decisions to make.  I don't envy them.

City Duke,
I am just amazed that you are still complaining about the officials. I know that’s your jam, and every game you do it, but these officials have ZERO impact on this game.

I am thankful they got to where they did this year.

The one video I watched with one of their announcers and pr guys focused on who they are going to play in the sweet 16.  According to many of their fans this is a great draw and no way can we beat them.

Go Dukes!

I also went to their board and read a lot.  Basically, some of them are very happy that they drew us and aren't worried.  Their take is that their guards can match ours or better and their big men ARE better than ours.  They are talking about the Sweet 16.

-Loved writing Round 2 for the upcoming games at the top of the board.
- Stew, you need to come up with a new mascot that isn’t embarrassing and goes to all of our games..
-If Oakland can beat Kentucky, we can beat Illinois

I sure wish we would get a "normal" mascot.  This is one thing Duquesne still hasn't gotten right!  LOL

BYU could easily be a 4 or 3 seed.  Look at their worst losses on the information provided by Phoenix and it is scary!!  Hoping they have an off game, we have an on game, and they don't take us seriously.

Also, if you get a chance, read the article on Dambrot praising the Pitt coach.  Wow, talk about class.
Go Dukes!

I am NOT feeling good about this.  Their coach is a winner wherever he was.  If it's meant to be we will win...if not...Will definitely need therapy if we blew the lead from the first half and the game.  Come on Dukes!

Our guards need to play relaxed tomorrow..especially Tre.  We have to neutralize their big guy. He scored 25 today.

Go play your best and see what happens. Good Luck. They are favored to win but maybe it’s our year. Go Dukes.

If you look at Bonnie’s worst losses, we are listed there!  I believe this will be a very difficult game in terms of rebounding with Tre out. Hopefully the guys don’t get too tight. The Bonnie’s usually play well in these games as Schmidt has been in these type of games often.

My same thoughts… first, it’s the players, not the referees. Second after the players are the coaches.  If we win then we should be there. If not, then it’s been a fun ride. However if we do lose, I don’t think we get into the NIT…too many teams from the A10 isn’t happening.


Joe Lunardi has VCU winning in the finals.
Good luck Dukes, play smart!  We know you will play hard.

CBS SPORTS has the Bonnie’s rated as 82 in the country and we are rated 89. The Bonnie fans are positive that they will beat us this 3rd time.

If they are good enough, and make fewer mistakes, they will win.  If not...it's been a positive year.  Good Luck Dukes - play well!
