Here's one for everyone. Duquesne Dukes may be the last A-10 team standing this season.

Any TV for this tournament?

Does Duquesne have an high schoolers or preppies committed yet?

DePaul is not in a Power 5 Conference.  They are in the Big East.  But good win anyway.

Going to Duquesne, PA is a novel idea for one or two games. That is provided the Athletic Staff can coordinate with Duquesne City Hall to get the word out to the community.  Maybe going back to La Roche can also be explored. Duquesne used to have doubleheaders at The Pitt Field House.  Maybe doubleheaders at Pitt's facility could be explored.

Near beer was served to below age 21 Kids at a tavern called George the Third in Greensburg.  As noted you could drink all night before you felt anything.  That made for a lot of pit stops on the way home.

The focus was on Eric Heiden, favored in every speed skating event.  For ice hockey, some felt the USA could win a bronze medal. The games were acquired because Lake Placid was the only bidder.  Denver had rejected the 1976 games, causing them to be reawarded to Innsbruck. After the Munich Massacre in 1972, nobody wanted the games.  Peter Unberoff reawakened the Olympic spirit in 1984.

Lindenwood would be good. Robert Morris plays them in hockey.

St. Bonaventure's goose is cooked.  For the first time in a long time, Duquesne is in a better position than they are.  It will be very hard for St. Bonaventure to get good players to ever come there again.

Word is RMU is reinstating Men's and Women's Division I hockey next season.  I hope it is a very profitable venture for them.  Along with Penn State and Mercyhurst, there would be three Division I hockey programs in Pennsylvania.

Dudey Moore started it by going to La Salle.

I was at the game against Oscar Robertson.  Duquesne never took the lead, but they kept within seven.  The final was 61-58.  It snowed like heck that night.  Did not think I'd make the game.  Couldn't get up the hill to the Pitt Field House (was it De Soto Drive?).  Someone let me park in a lot halfway up.  It's funny. Cincinnati never won the NCAA's with Oscar.  He graduated and they went to the title game three straight years and won twice.  Only Loyola of Chicago, who had beaten Duquesne in the NIT the year before, could beat Cincinnati.  And that took overtime! 

Not a pretty picture indeed.  The addition of Loyola next year will help temporarily.  Loyola's good coach has left for Oklahoma.  Loyola will regress and join the rest of the A-10 and the bottom level.
