As usualy a great job by Norman giving props to many of the greats in Dukes history. I would have liked to have been at the event. Great to hear the mention of the VBC(Van Braam Cafe), official drinking spot of Duquesne basketball through the 1970's. Nixon was one of only 3-4 guys who touched the ceiling in the VBC. Nice to hear Norman mention Bill Piekarski, "Roe" Darnell Roebuck, Mike Barr, and so many others. Listening to Nixon's roll call only a few players from 1990's and 2000's most prior to 1990.

I would have liked to have heard something from or about "The Train" Lionel Billingy who was an outstanding big man for the Dukes in the 70's. I know he played a full career in Europe and may still live there, but a guy who is often forgotten in discussions about Duquesne greats. He battled the likes of Marvin Barnes, Tom McMillan, and George Gervin as the Dukes only big man at the time. He played on some very good teams and was a lot of fun to watch. Also wonder what ever became of Reuben Montanez, who was such an important part of those late sixties and early seventies teams.
