I agree with these posts. Let's just grab the best paycheck we can for 1 game only. Zero or 1 lower division game only. I realize that really narrows the field, but as was pointed out, why not Dayton and Fordham? Use our A10 leverage somehow. We communicate with these teams a lot. I've got a personal one, Bucknell. We had a great football and basketball rivalry on the brink of happening, and now we don't play them in either sport. How would a game together not be a good thing for both of them? Just get it done.

I'll admit it. I activated my ESPN+ subscription 2 months early just to watch this game. I'm sure I haven't seen a Duquesne football game as bad as this one ever. I realize there are a lot of new players, but we are supposed to be somewhat competitive at this level.

Isn't the first day of official practice, like Oct. 15? I would say the Dukes are going to have to know which way the wind is blowing on this by then. Or, what to do you then?

That's a really decent basketball conference. This could be good for RPI or BPI,
right?

I have a question regarding scheduling policies and rules. Given the obvious difficulties mid-major teams like Duquesne and other A10 schools have in scheduling quality OOC games, what would be the possibility of allowing A10 teams to schedule one or two non-conference games among themselves?  Don't know if this is wise, or even allowed, or because I'm missing something. Any thoughts?  (edited for clarity?)

Nice event. They should do something like this every year. Maybe with PSU in the mix too.

Guilty until proven innocent. I read it again. That is some BS there.

I would be OK with Benz and Zaslau. I mostly agree about Buono, but he was put in almost impossible situations to show any enthusiasm. I would be OK with him getting a second chance, maybe on the women's games. Frankly, Alex P. is really decent for football but is way out of his element for basketball. My only absolute NO is Loose Cannon.

St. Joe also still alive in the NIT after beating Colorado State. Can't help but wonder if GMU got the NIT bid mostly on their 12-1 OOC record. Lesson for the Dukes.

What a way for David to finish the regular season and inn his last game at "The Coop"  He MIGHT be going back on the ESPN Top Plays list.  WOULD BE A HAT TRICK!!!!

That play and the Guinyard steal and 3 should both be in the Top 10.

Every home game I have to wonder if we ever practice at these baskets. If we don't, we should start. If we do, we should stop.

Got to find another gear tonight. We could do some damage from that 5th spot in the tourney.

Speaking of home court advantage and borderline calls. On a midcourt scramble for a loose ball that one official, with the play right in front of him, and the Dayton crowd breathing down his neck, made an overdramatic and exaggerated call pointing to Dayton ball. Subsequent review showed he not only got the call wrong but missed the foul by the Flyers.

VCU plays at AP #18 Saint Louis tonight in one of the biggest games of the A-10 season. ESPN2 at 7 PM.

VCU led early on and then SLU found another gear into the second half. Then a bench clearing brawl breaks out ay the end of the game since VCU stole the ball as Saint Louis was dribbling the clock out. Horrible look. 88-75 SLU.

Two class acts repping the A10 on national TV. The same two had a brawl in the stands last year I think.

Hope we got that out of our system. Tonight could have been a disaster. But we live to fight another day.

Scoreboard watching today-- Davidson at Dayton (4PM/ESPN2). I'm looking for Davidson to get the win, I guess, since we have Davidson at home and Dayton on the road coming up. We went from a 3-way tie for 5th to a 3-way tie for 4th at the end of today. Progress! I really think a 3-way tie for 3rd is not out of the question for us either. It's really fun to be in the mix.

I would like to know how a new coaching staff would also not set the program back at least 2 years, and also prevent a mass exodus of players? Be careful what you wish for.

Tied for 5th place with Dayton and Davidson. I'll sure take it.

Any news on the availability of TG & Necas?

Latest update shows both still questionable. 4 Revs including Castro questionable. So no answer to your question.

I don't know about Hall starting, but more minutes for him probably helped Guinyard down the stretch.
