So glad to see that Kenya's career has been successful. Another in a long line of Duquesne players that were great both on the court and off. 

I did forget about Williams. Feeling much better!

I was in attendance today. Too much blame on the coaching staff here. We missed the front end of two 1 and 1's late. We had two open dunks where the player elected to go for a lay-in instead and blew it. We had 13 more TO's than them. It was by far the most physical game that I saw this year. Schmidt is notorious for that. That forced us to use more than normal substitutions. Dinkins had to score and play point guard. He can't do that for 40 minutes. I agree that Rozier did not have a good game. But he had to spell Dinkins. The same with Wilborn and Dixon. Dixon and a pretty bad leg injury in the first half but coach had to use him. Not having DiMichele for most of the season really had a negative impact. So wrap that all together. Let's see what happens with the Portal. We definitely need a superior point guard that we look to score 8 to 10 points. We need a 6'10" center at 230 to 240 pounds not 215. 
Relax the next four months. See you in July..

Very pleased with the up-tempo play. Also, attacking the rim. The best rebounding effort that we've seen to date.

Great point FAM...
 

I heard that trump's rally would be in the evening, but it is not definite yet. Just keep checking the PPG site or the news. I might just stay home in any case.

Thanks CLK. Very nice video...

How could you not want to join the Big East now? The football schools are gone. Every Saturday afternoon, CBS broadcasts a Big East game. Over the last nine years, men's basketball teams have earned 42 NCAA invitations averaging 5.25 per season. Women's basketball is coming off its most successful season with five NCAA Tournament bids.
Oh yes, if they offer, we must go.
 

Ask DePaul how they like being in the Big East. They've finished last 12 of the last 16 seasons, and still finished with a losing record in the other 4. I'm not saying we shouldn't go in the highly unlikely event the Big East invites us, but it's definitely not a no-brainer.

If you look at the total body of their work:
Location: Chicago, Illinois Coverage: 101 seasons (1923-24 to 2023-24)
Record (since 1923-24): 1516-1122 .575 Conference Champion: 2 Times (Reg. Seas.), 0 Times (Tourn.)
NCAA Tournament: 22 Years (21-25), 2 Final Fours, 0 Championships
NCAA Champion:Ranked in AP Poll: 11 Times (Preseason), 12 Times (Final), 156 Weeks (Total)

Their NCAA Tournament record blows us away. It tells me that their current administration has just lost interest. Kind of like us for 50 years. I'm sure their primary years of success were back in the 50's and 60's like us. In any case if our administration is serious about elevating our program then they should be proactive and put a presentation together and approach the B.E. honchos. If not, stay in the A-10.

Dayton grad and fan here, but former Pittsburgher and friend of the late, great Dukes beat writer Phil Axelrod. I just wanted to say I was rooting big time for Duquesne and you long-suffering fans. I’m so happy for you and for the program. Somewhere up there, Phil is smiling! Best of luck in … THE BIG DANCE!

Thanks Flyer Fan!
