Welcome to SHOO-SHOO, RAH-RAH! The Duquesne Dukes Basketball Fan Message Board!
One of America's Great Message Boards - Any Inappropriate Posts Will Be Deleted!
Idk if anyone saw the other clip from that interview, but Mike Hughes came over at one point to do his usual reporter routine. KD made a joke about people thinking he was berating “reporter Hughes” like last time. It was funny and cool to realize that either he is directly reading this board or has someone in his ear reading it. Good to know he has a pulse on the fans that are around currently. Here's the clip in reference for anybody who wants to see: Some more interviews from after GMU to fulfill your Duquesne basketball fix before the game: I really like this team. This group, this coaching staff. Should I bet against the Dukes? Dukes are 2-0 when I bet against the Dukes on the road this year(SLU and SBU). +5.5 pts. This is the kind of game I would never bet the line. 5.5 seems like too many points for VCU to be getting, but I did pick them to win the game. I'm not a gambler, so I don't bet any games, but I especially would avoid taking teams to win but not cover. Especially in basketball since anything can happen with foul shots in late game situations. The oddsmakers have nailed the over / under too, so I'd avoid that even moreso. Enough talking with my head and not my heart though. Go Dukes! Forget the spread, take them to win straight up. Should I bet against the Dukes?

Announcers talking about "Ball don't lie" that's why they missed the first 5 free throws of the game. Should I bet against the Dukes?

I took some action on the money line. It was 25-15 at the 8 minute time out. We allowed five more points. If we can continue to shore up the d and make some baskets in the 2nd, I like our chances. Honestly, we're lucky to be down by only four. Too many turnovers, too many offensive rebounds given up, and too many threes. Nobody has played particularly well so far, but four points is totally manageable. I don't mind mucking it up against this kind of team, but I am hoping the depth doesn't bite us.

Sorry for being negative with time left, but VCU looks too talented and athletic even with players out. Surprised they've lost 8 or whatever in Conference. Must be shooting better tonight than they did in the losses. Looking like we can put this one in the can.

This ones going down to the wire. Looking like we can put this one in the can. Sorry for being negative with time left, but VCU looks too talented and athletic even with players out.

Y'all should know what these guys are about by now. This ones going down to the wire. You're right. I gladly eat my words even if they don't pull it out. I wasn't watching the game continously. They looked a little overmatched in the spaces when I was watching. The stage is looking a little too big for our squad right now. Or not! The Santos-Silva flop against Hughes was painful. The Santos-Silva flop against Hughes was painful. That it was. Yaahooooooo!! What. A. Win. Yessssszzzzz WAKE ME UP!!!!!!! Huge props to Lamar for taking it to the hoop at the end. Marcus was the reason we won in OT. YEAH BABY. On the play by play - when they cut it to 4, JD is overheard “We are going to win this” Dukes by 3!!! What a win !!! I have to give a tip of the hat to Jarrett. He'll never be a Tony Romo as an analyst, but he's improved by leaps and bounds since he started.
CONGRATULATIONS COACH DRU JOYCE III

Won’t be easy but no reason we can’t win tonight with the injuries VCU has. Also like what we have done with the added depth. Rotroff adds a lot and Buckley has been a big help defensively. Hoping for another W tonight and possibly moving a step closer to the 4 seed.
Go Dukes!!!!

Coach:
I undoubtedly learn or crack up at something said in these interviews every time. The players vs Coach talking about the defensive press was pretty funny.

A top 4 in the A-10 would be great but tonight is going to be tough.
I don't care how many injuries VCU has.

Vann and Ward with 2 fouls. Hughes and Carry have 2. Gotta start going straight to the basket in the 2nd. We have been really effective driving and kicking in the last few games and VCU is looking for it. Weathers had a huge dunk and TDM got a couple layups because it’s wide open to the hoop through the lane.
Go up into Santos Silva and get him in foul trouble. Go Dukes!
