Hope Ray stays.   Tim does a nice job.

It was frustrating trying to tune in.  I could only get BYU Radio.

Great article- Good to hear Ron Everhart’s take on this season.  Going fron Ron to KD would have been so much better than letting him go when they dod without a clue to get someone as good as Ron.

Any details on an on campus watch party?  Time? Place? Vending?

If not, guess Buffalo Wild Wings in Cranberry.

Kinda disappointed in Dunhams and some other stores.   Tons of unbought Pitt, PSU and even RMU stuff on display.  Have to go digging for Duqueane gear.

Mark Madden was hilarious ripping Pitt for chunking out of the NIT.  He wants Duquesne to turn down a new City Game unless Pitt gives the Dukes 2 of 3 at the Coop.

From just listening to Dru on the post-game shows, he knows what the game plan was and was instrumental in forming it and carrying it out.  He also seemed to have a handle on game time adjustments. 

Don’t make the same mistake we made when we didn’t hire Jarrett Durham as the obvious successor to a newer winning tradition.

This coaching tree now has roots.

Pitt also showed so much class and just said FU to their fans who may have wanted to come and see them keep playing at home since the power schools are guaranteed to host.

I just bought my first newspaper in probably over 20 years to get the Duke’s front page headlines.  Jerry DiPaola, Dave Mackall and Tim Benz all had good articles on the Dukes.

If Pitt had the guts to respect local traditions and play Duquesne on a neutral court instead of Florida Gulf Coast at home, their out of conference schedule wouldn’t be that far above 300 and they could be going to the Dance too.

So sick of them getting all the local attention and tears from the local sports radio because they carry their games.

KDKA FM’s  “Sports Headlines” are a joke.  I have to turn on WDVE to get a complete report on local sports.

I really thought the confetti did us in. What a team! What a win! Our 40+ years wandering in the basketball desert are over!

 
Honestly-  What a change in momentum before and after the confetti came down.  That really changed the chemistry completely.   When the other team’s coach calls a time out to halt the bleeding it just fires a team up more knowing they have them in the ropes.  This was just a cold stop and gave VCU a chance to clear their heads and take away our fire we built.

There are so many themes here for a movie-  Opening scene KD’s dad playing with Chuck Cooper and Duquesne’s glory years, Duquesne’s admin not supporting them, not hiring Jarrett Durham, KD coming to win for his dad, KD’s wife, Starting off 0-5 and the character on this team to turn it around.

All narrated by Ray Goss and Jarrett.
Morgan Freeman has to play Jarrett.
Lot’s of stuffy heavies to play Duquesne admin. before those now there.
Who plays KD?

There is NO scenario, a ZERO chance, for Duquesne to get an NCAA bid unless the Dukes win the A10 tournament.

 
Agreed- Best statistical analysis shows less than a 1%  chance to get a non-automatic bid.  Even if they beat the Bonnies and it rises, it will sink again anyway in a loss in the title game. 

Bottom line, win the next two or be content with a better than even chance to go to the NIT.  The only question is will the NIT take so many A 10 teams that truly deserve it?

Pitt’s Non-Conference SOS is in the 300’s.  Schedule Duquesne on a neutral court rather than another cupcake at home and they may be in the tournament for sure.

Cappel has no respect for local traditions and shows he’s afraid of an early challenge that would draw a big local crowd.

Stop whining about being on the bubble and do something to get there and respect the Western Pennsylvania traditions the way they do on Tobacco Road.  It would generate more fans and interest all around and stop complaining if you wind up in the NIT.

I always thought that the Dukes should play at least some of their hames there.  Rooney is a soccer field.

The A-10 has carried the very low Dukes too long. Ferry and KD didn't make us an asset to the A-10,, but just the opposite. Ferry and KD in 12 years have beat no one.When we won the first "A-10" (the eastern-8) we really beat nation wide teams. Even now, if we win the A-10? they are not as respected as that first year? And sadly, KD's team isn't coming close?  KD was a bust from the start. Actually Dru is a hidden gem and should get a chance this next year. If DU lets KD in one more year, we are destine to never win. I mean KD??? one more year here is a gigantic failure.

Man, you’re like a constant downer, huh?

Four game win streak at crunch time has him in the dumps.
 

 
WTF???  Back to back 20 win seasons a bust???
You’d be miserable with the best coach we’ve had in generations.

The Dukes are projected by some to make the NIT as one of the last 4 in.  Play well in the tourney.

Congrats all around. They took care of business and didn’t let up in Q4.

I don’t think they’re as good as the team that took down Towsen a few years ago but we will see what the draw is.

 
Think so too.  Other than the Stone Hill loss, they held their own against some BSC Teams and Delaware for a better part of a half. 

Playing WVU even for a half was imlressive.

They may surprise.
