I’m A season ticket holder and didn’t get ANY notice.  Don’t know what this is going to be like especially with the city advising people not going to this rally to stay out of the city.  He is scheduled to speak at 6 but my understanding is that he is rarely on time.  Haven’t made a decision yet on whether to go or not.

Article from the Post Gazette speculating that Harper may be one of the candidates.  Probably only that but thought all might be interested.

This is what The Athletic posted in an article about Lebron's chances of staying with the Lakers:

Looming over this entire summer will be the future of James, who has a $51.4 million player option for next season. Per our reporting, the team desperately wants him back, and is amenable to both a three-year max extension (which would go through his age-42 season) and drafting his son, Bronny James. Wild. I saw at least three different LeBron jersey photoshops last night, too.

This also says April fools at the top.

I read (DK Pittsburgh Sports) that it is Monday (today) at Noon in the Student Union.

Really good conversation!  I agree re: too many non conference games at home - that has not benefited us at all as we go into the A10 with difficulty on the road.  And I agree that a coach from outside would be preferable should KD retire.

My wife always likes the Western PA trip (from TN), which we do once every DU basketball season. Unfortunate ending to Wednesday's game.

My wife likes spending the afternoon shopping in the Strip District, and she watches the game intently without knowing too much about it. I don't need a program to know who the Duquesne's players are and where they came from etc.  After entering the Coop, she was looking for a game program, and it actually surprised me that such a thing is no longer available. What's up with that? Not attending games regularly, it was puzzling to me too. A program is certainly of interest to casual attendees who may want to know things that fans don't need in a program. Regular fans already know the DU players' previous stats, states or countries of origin, heights etc., although even fans of the team may not have known of the need to have previously accessed the opposition's scoring, rebound leaders etc.. 

Has the game program already gone the way where the shopping bags with the iconic store names will be after the new year starts?  Several shop personnel told us we will have to bring bags next year. 

 

They are using electronic programs now and there is a code at the entrance you can scan with your phone to access. Unfortunately at the first game against Cleveland State it was an old version.

This can’t be the same Rozier I always read about on this message board right? 😉

Was wondering the same thing

While I appreciate any coverage in media of Duquesne basketball this article certainly had a lot of nothing.  The answers were generic mostly and there is no follow up.  It reads like a list of questions were emailed to Dave Harper and he typed out a reply and sent them back.  And where were questions that many other posters on this board ask all the time?

On just MBB:  What is Coach Dambrot’s contract situation?  The same could be asked of Coach Burt.  What does Dru Joyce bring to the team?  Is he the future head coach?  

On basketball in general:  How much does the university spend on both?  Does the administration still see the importance of these teams to promoting the university like, say, a Gonzaga does?  When will the remaining parts of the Coop be constructed?

I’m sure there are better and other questions to consider than these.  

Again - grateful for any coverage.  Would like to see at least an attempt at more substance with follow up. 

So Rozier is a leader.
