Gotta hand it to SLU, they sure made some shots when they needed to.  Feels like the officiating tilted the court in their favor though.  Loved our effort in a hostile environment, just frustrated we gave this one away at the end of regulation.  Should we face the bilikens in the A10 tourney, I hope the Dukes remember how this felt.

I get your point Fam, in that we lost a lot of talent from last year and that coach Dru needs time to get things rolling.  It is unfortunate that the early season results will almost certainly keep fans from filling the Coop.  I agree now would be a good time for the athletic dept to incentivize people to come to the games.

I  disagree about  Duquesne being unable to attract a quality coach.  After the Jim Ferry era ended, Dave Harper hired a coach who met the 5 seasons of 20 wins criteria.  Keith Dambrot left the DU job more attractive than when he accepted it.
Hopefully before long Coach Joyce enjoys similar success.

I'm going with 9 and 4 out of conference, 11 and 7 in conference giving us a 20 win season heading to the A-10 tournament where I hope to see another magical run. Let's Go Dukes

I would be excited to see Bronny play for DU.  I think it could be good both for him and Duquesne.  However, until we lock up a center, I wouldn't want Coach to hold a schollie for him.  I like  the returning players and the portal acquisitions to this point, but I see a true "5" as the missing piece.  They are super hard to get for a team like the Dukes and I wouldn't pass up the opportunity to sign one if I'm Coach Joyce.

After Mossie passed away I had discussions with a number of people about doing the cheer.  Every single one of them, including a former player with season tickets who has since moved south, said that they were not worthy to lead the cheer.  I know that I certainly don't feel worthy of such a task.  My thought at this point is perhaps the captain of the cheerleaders with the rest of the cheerleading squad around her could come out to center court and shout "ARE YOU READY?!?!?!" with the rest of the cheerleaders then joining in with Ahoya, Ahoya, Shoo Shoo, Rah Rah, Shoo Shoo, Rah Rah, Ahoya, Let's Go Duquesne!!!

Sure, the cheer will never be quite the same without Mossie, but I would love to see it become part of the Cooper Fieldhouse experience.  Having the cheerleaders do so would be a good place to start.

That sure was some great March basketball by the Dukes!!.  Exceeded my expectations and makes me happy.  Players and coaches should all be proud of themselves.  I know your University and your fans are.

As one of the many who could not attend personally, I wish to congratulate all the Duquesne fans in Omaha and thank you for cheering on our Dukes.  That's not to diminish the importance of all the fans watching from home, but to appreciate the lift it must give the team to see DU colors in the stands  Outstanding game by coaches and players. Is this nine W's in a row?

I think Phil is right, next season is an overhaul of much of the roster anyway and Duquesne should look more attractive as a place to stay for the potentially returning talent regardless of who coaches.  And, as Styles also points out, the Duquesne job may suddenly apeal to candidates were not previously intetested.  I don't know who those candidates are, but I bet Dave Harper does.  If the job hasn't already been promised to Coach Joyce, then I submit that the university is in a better position to attract "Mr Right" than it has been for almost 50 years.  If it is determined that Dru Joyce is "Mr. Right" , then i will support that as well. 
Thanks Coach Dambrot and staff  for putting us in this position and happy retirement. Although, I hope, your team causes you to work until eclipse day.

Dare I say we won this one at the free throw line?  Very nice road win and should help our A-10 toruney seed.

Nice 2nd half intensity last night resulted in a much needed win.  Now, let's go do that again in Fairfax.  Let's Go Dukes

That was depressing to watch.  We were good at the free throw line is about the only compliment i can give the Dukes for this 1.  Hope they can put this behind them and compete the rest of the way.

We sat near some kids who were having a great time dancing and chanting "defense.....defense".  It really helped create atmosphere for a small crowd. Keep winning and the crowds will grow. Let's Go Dukes.

I agree that Dayton played better down the stretch, but that free throw discrepancy is hard to ignore, especially when a couple of those calls don't pass the eye test.  We did give one of the country's best teams a real test in a difficult place to play.  Probably outplayed the Flyers for 34 minutes. This one was lost at the charity stripe.  Gotta get over it and beat St Joe's at home.  Hope to see you there.

Finally got to to watch this game . The Dukes seemed to be well prepared and I feel they played their best fundamental basketball of this season.. Just plain fun to watch. Congrats to coaches and players on a needed road win.  Does this team have s strong finish in store?  Let's Go Dukes!
