Welcome to SHOO-SHOO, RAH-RAH! The Duquesne Dukes Basketball Fan Message Board!
One of America's Great Message Boards - Any Inappropriate Posts Will Be Deleted!
Thank you for your kind words. It has been a privilege to cover so many Duquesne teams and events for you all. I am glad you appreciate my work and hope for plenty more Duquesne content, for knock on wood a long time! Here is the link to my article. Snezhe was very open about what happened between cancer and hip injuries even having very recently been cleared with the former. Duquesne's Serafimoska Fulfills Promise, Beats Cancer - Pittsburgh Sports Now Hey Levon, Zac here from PSN. I've been providing content all season long from each Duq WBB game. I have talked to at least Dan Burt after every game so be sure to keep reading to stay in the loop. This season has thrown the team a lot of curveballs but a lot of young talent are finding their roles and everyone on the team remains optimistic. Zach, I've been following everything that you post or is re-posted on Facebook or Twitter, and absolutely realize that you have been on the beat, since the beginning of this unusual season. I appreciate your work and your diligence in reporting on the Dukes. My comments were strictly directed to this Board, which is normally very lively during the season with comments about the women's team. Perhaps there is a lack of interest considering the problems with the team and lack of live game action. I get that I just took it as no coverage which I have tried to provide for nearly 10 years. It is a shame that the ladies do not get more posts on here, they have some definite encouragement from the freshmen. It could be the record, the lack of being at games hurting them, really it could be a lot of things. Zac, what is the status of Aniya Walker? Is she even on the team? She is listed on the roster, but hasn't played yet. The team openly stated that Aniya suffered an off-season injury and will not play this season. It is an injury which Burt referenced in the team's chalk talk as one where she will not be back until late this year (either Oct or Nov, I do not remember off the top of my head). Honestly I am not as aware about the recruiting plans and commitments beyond Westphal's commit at this point in time. Perhaps they could be waiting for COVID but that would be pure speculation. Hey Levon, Zac here from PSN. I've been providing content all season long from each Duq WBB game. I have talked to at least Dan Burt after every game so be sure to keep reading to stay in the loop. This season has thrown the team a lot of curveballs but a lot of young talent are finding their roles and everyone on the team remains optimistic. I am a huge fan of Dambrot as his personality is infectious and really interviews better than most coaches in all of sports in my opinion. Made some great points in this interview. "We wouldn't have won that game without Rotroff." Said the ref told him how would you feel if I called a T on you in a game clinching situation like that and he couldn't argue it because he agreed. Also mentioned his son transferring schools while playing D1 soccer, and he did not have to sit out because that was only a rule in football and basketball. He really looks at things at fairly as he can. In the middle he went after some reporter pretty hard after the guy only asked questions about Bonaventure's hostile environment. Poor man got roasted lol That's because it was Mike Hughes.
My Inside the Dukes for those interested. Yes forgot the link since I was on a break at work. I was at WBB practice and did this piece with Dan Burt which I decided to write in Q&A format. I figured I would start a City Game thread with my piece here. Content on the injuries, adjustments and even a thought on how Duquesne will play against Pitt. I also have this article written at LaGuardia.
Well the good news is that Mike Hughes is able to practice, but KD admitted that he is behind in conditioning. It was good to see Amari Kelly doing some work on the side, Austin Rotroff fully watching practice and James Ellis got some run and seems in good spirits. I wanted to post my first feature of the season which is on Baylee Steele. I was at open media availability today and have this one-on-one with Keith Dambrot. My in-depth article on last night's game has several different takeaways from the win and is definitely worth the read. I just wanted to share my Sincere Carry feature, it is great pre-game reading. My article for Pittsburgh Sports Now on Mike Lewis II. A lot of good stuff in there about his injury, being a leader and what being a starter means to him. I can disclose that Duquesne won, but that it was close. I did not see my UPMC Cooper Fieldhouse what it means article on here and wanted to share it. This has new information, a big picture approach and a one-on-one interview with A-10 Commissioner Bernadette McGlade. In the Pittsburgh Sports Now article by Zach these games will be produced by Duquesne. This is actually fairly big news. Having announcers and production geared toward your program. I did not write the article. This was all Mike. Thank you all for your support!

Also, what is the plan for recruiting? Duquesne had 3 other players committed (all international) in addition to Olivia Westphal, but only Westphal signed.
Are these three players still an option for next year or are we now looking at 22-23?Women's basketball » News Blackout on the Women? » 1/18/2021 5:12 pm
