Is this the big reveal?  Ha, ha!  I must admit that I was very anxious to read your post.  I spoke to Dan Burt at the of end of the season and suggested playing St. John's for another 2 years.  Not sure where my suggestion will go.  But Dan did say that continuing playing a Big East team, such as St. John's, appealed to him.

I think it's safe to add Bobby Mo to the men's schedule at the PPG Paint Can.  However, I would be greatly surprised if Robert Morris women's team played the Dukes next season.  They are still stewing over Judith Sole's transfer to Duquesne two years ago.

Bobby Mo enjoys whoopin us too much to let a little thing like a transfer get in their way.

I agree El D,

We will have size and talent that Bobby U can't match up with and remember those thousand set plays that Coach D can surprise them with.

Love the ladies playing UConn.  Dont be scared.  Face the best.  No fear!

In women's hoops? I don't think so.

The days of them beating us in men's hoops are coming to an end.

I was talkin men's hoops.

Gotcha Rick, but we don't have any transfers from their men's team. And of course during the past seasons they have whupped on us like a big brother, and you're right, as long as they think they can continue to do that we'll be on their schedule. 

Their women's team ran and hid from us after Judith Sole transferred here.

Sorry if I cause any corn-fusion!

I'm the confused one. I missed where he switched from the men's team to the women's team in GoDukes post

they will play in a mid major tournament in the Bahamas in November.

Can't vouch for this site's accuracy, but it appears to have a comprehensive listing of teams participating in early season tourneys. They have not picked up anything on the Dukes yet.

Duquesne will host VMI on November 14th as part of 2017-18 non-conference schedule.

Also, A10 will announce the 2017-18 conference schedule pairings this afternoon.

I suspect you're right. Dayton, Bonnie and Louie for sure. I think Mason, Richmond and URI have doubled up on our schedule recently too.

Cornell Daily Sun reports that Cornell will play at Duquesne on November 27.   Lost 21 last year but at least someone people have heard of

Please Mr. Harper, how about a road trip to Rice, or the University of Houston?  Or even Texas State, or how about lower mid major power house Stephen F. Austin or Sam Houston State?
