Incredibly disappointing so far.  After having seen the Lipscomb and Milwaukee games in person and hearing about the other losses, it is obvious that the "playing freer" and wide open offense isn't working.  With the players returning,  who had played a more structured, set-play offense under Keith and a number of new players, wouldn't it make sense to stay with the structured offense?  Very surprised Dru let this go on.  Maybe it's just me.  Of course, poor shooting and lousy free throw shooting hasn't helped. 

Went to the tour at Ross Park.  What a nice event.  A constant stream of folks.  It was fun to see the trophy but most of all to meet many of the players.  They were all very friendly, engaging and said they were very happy to be with the program.  Said the practices have been tough but good.  It was really interesting talking to Jakub and Matus about their opportunity to play for their home country.  They had a great experience.  A touching moment was seeing David Dixon shooting some hoops with some of the smaller kids at the outdoor court.  So nice to see kids, parents and adults getting merch signed by the players.  Go Dukes!
 

What a glorious moment it was!  Been watching the games over and over.  Still can’t believe it. Thanks!

yes phil very difficult to hear.  Thought is was my laptop but.............
Great presser.  What a humble, thoughtful and well spoken guy.  Congratulation Coach Dru!  
Gonna be interesting and fun.  Let's go Druquesne!

=19.5pxTotally agree MikeR.  Definitely needs to be a Coop celebration for the men’s team!

LOL you are right kcc.  He would great frustrated and yell it out again.  Of course everyone did not want to disappoint.  It was glorious.  The whole arena would get into it. Some disagree and believe we need something new.  But, It is a quirky, energizing cheer.  Even Mossie’s daughter would like to see it back per FB.  Could it be an individual in the stands (stew?) or a video of Mossie?  Maybe AI could work it’s magic

Anyone know what the light blue heart stands for on the Dukes uniforms at the GW game?  Surprised to see it.  Let’s go Dukes!

Very sorry to hear.  Sad indeed. Prayers to friends and family.  RIP Bleeds Red and Blue.  Thank you for letting us know CLK.

Great game last night.  Fun to be at.  Too bad so many in the area missed it.  The guys work hard and play so well as a team.  Been some really nice non-PG coverage, all season really.  So sick of the massive coverage the PG gives Pitt.  I get that the A10 is not the ACC and there are many more Pitt graduates in the area.  But seriously - the Dukes maybe get a sniff in the morning briefs even when Pitt isn’t playing.  I have emailed Ryan Winn twice about it and get the usual BS about their market and being short staffed.  Even though the Dukes got a mini headline this morning, the wire story had the wrong score and the venue was listed as the UPMC ROONEY Fieldhouse.  At least proofread what you are publishing.  I am not convinced that we will get coverage when they win more.  There are some great stories there.  Like Dae Dae.  The PG needs to be a NEWS paper and not just a Pitt News....paper.  Ok I’m done. 😀

Awesome atmosphere tonight!  Students were out in force and having a great time.  Hope they come back.  The guys played well.  Again a big/power forward short of a load.  Osunniyi just kills us.  21/17 is crazy.  His follow dunks is such a back breaker.  Bona had a whole section behind their bench but I think they were maybe a little nervous and the students drowned them out.  Dukes worked it in more in second half.  Tre had a nice game at 15/11.  Lots of fun but way too many not wearing masks.
