Just beat 1-8 LeHigh 69-67 for their 2nd win. Pretty ugly game. We should be able to end the 5 game streak with them if we don't lay an egg. From Craig Meyer at the P-G: Disappointed to read that Mr Meyer gets the sense that the administration isn't fully committed to athletics. I guess that news isn't a revelation to anyone here. Last edited by duqkurt (12/18/2015 3:30 pm) I always wondered why a school that sticks their coaches with OOC losses by getting paid to lose to bigger schools and gets into the NCAA in past years due to good coaches and crummy conference could have leap frogged Duquesne. Then I look at the AD's and past coaches and wonder why it is only 5 straight losses.

I guess that news isn't a revelation to anyone here. "As I mentioned earlier, I’ve only covered Duquesne briefly, but if you talk to enough people there, you get the general sense that there isn’t that same level of commitment from those at the top of the university. It’s not as if nothing is being done to support the school’s sports programs, but, for one reason or another, not enough is being done, especially when compared to other universities in the increasingly-competitive Atlantic 10."

I did not like or agree with your comment about your interpretation of Craig Meyer's article. Don't pat yourself on the back about how many games you go to. I am probably a lot older than you and I don't need to play a numbers game on how many of the Duquesne athletic teams I have witnessed or supported over the years. Your comments on the women's team are apt. Ditto on the football team. You just seem to like to jam it down the throat of any administrator who does not do your biding. My point is clear. Don't conclude and then suggest that Gormley and Harper are in the same group of persons identified by Meyer. They haven't had the time or opportunity to make their respective marks on the University and Athletic Department respectively. Yet you seem to be able to be "disappointed" again and again over the administration. That is precisely why I commented which, in turn, caused you to conclude that I am a troll!! And all you do is kiss the ass of whoever is in power at the time. "Yes, Greg and Charlie we love you. You can't do anything wrong." Last edited by duqkurt (12/19/2015 7:43 am) Here we go into name calling. I merely pointed out your lack of judgment in your interpretation of an article that led to your being "disappointed". You seem to enjoy in casting aspersions on the administration because "enough" nameless "people" don't think enough is being done as compared to what other increasingly competitive A-10 universities were doing. (Parenthetically, those "nameless" people who Craig quotes are probably those who think they should maybe paid more money.) Now you have me smooching the butts of presidents and AD's past. Pay attention to what I said and I quote "Of course we know that the current lame duck president wasn't so committed nor was John Edward Murray, Jr. nor were their string of AD lap dogs. Meyer makes the point of why and how Duquesne got where it currently is and what the prior people in ivory towers did not do." =14.625pxDoesn't sound like these lips have gotten up close and personal with Charlie, John Edward Murray, Jr. and/or Greg. Never have and never would have. But your powers of perception would conclude otherwise. As an aside, who hired Jake Schmidt, Dan Burt and Jim Ferry? MERRY CHRISTMAS, KURT!!!! It has been a very long time when I have gotten extremely upset over a loss. A few decades ago it was Pitt but since they moved so far ahead of us my objectivity took over and I couldn't get upset over losing to a basketball program so superior, though I still can't stand Pitt in anything. I am sick and tired of our team losing to Robert Morris. I hope the players don't get tight (I don't think they will) like they did against Pitt. I would love to see them not just win, but smash them. If we don't, my old Eat S--- Pitt feelings will come back but against Bob Mo. Go Dukes! Last edited by FAM (12/19/2015 8:49 am) If we lose to Bobby Mo I'm canceling my season tickets. Oh wait. I've already done that. This is an ugly game. If we were having even an average shooting game we would be up 15 or so Bobby Mo playing a pretty tough zone. I'm looking for both teams to shoot better in the 2nnd half. Need to cut down turnovers. Micah having a horrible game Well, we won despite playing like garbage. Again, this game is a sign that we are a much improved team. Had arguably our worst shooting game of the year but the guys played really strong defense and made free throws down the stretch. Feels good to restore order A lot of unforced turn overs, Mason missed almost everything. Thanks to DC, the senior took the game over and couldn't miss from the line, 10-2, Merry Christmas! Again, this game is a sign that we are a much improved team. Had arguably our worst shooting game of the year but the guys played really strong defense and made free throws down the stretch. Feels good to restore order Agreed: This is their 3rd game where they started out cold and their two best shooters were missing a lot. Results have been: Pepperdine, similar team to them cruises to an easy win. Pitt, superior team to them ends the game six minutes in. Robert Morris: garbage team, Dukes fight through their woes and manage to pull out the win. We won but very easily could have lost. One point game with 90 seconds left. Thank goodness Colter made his FTs. Too many stupid turnovers and missed layups. But hey it's a "W". This game shows what every A-10 opponent is going to do. Shut down the perimeter shooting and make us win inside. RM shucks this season and shut down our perimeter, but only for James, Lewis and the perimeter players driving to penetrate, made up for the bricks we were throwing from3 range. Eric James is the most athletic and talented player Ferry has and should start from here out. Lewis is a legitimate center and Ferry should center a big part of the conf. games to James and Lewis for the shot. Every A-10 team is going to try to shut down Micah and Colter, so like this game, wide open 3's are going to be rare, but if Ferry forces the ball inside from the tip-off, then you open the 3's up later in the game in the A-10. This game shows the weakness in the 3 ball game, when it ain't there. Good game for James. Let's hope it the breakout game for Eric as a starter. Ugly game only from the outside, but pretty good game from the inside players. Go Dukes. Develop the hard-nose inside game, get ugly, and win some down the stretch that maybe none of us expect to win. Ugly game, smart coaching. We won but very easily could have lost. One point game with 90 seconds left. Thank goodness Colter made his FTs. Too many stupid turnovers and missed layups. But hey it's a "W". 4-27 on treys and won by 7. That game set college basketball back 10 years. U-g-l-y. 59-33 on rebounds. Is this accurate? We won but very easily could have lost. One point game with 90 seconds left. Thank goodness Colter made his FTs. Too many stupid turnovers and missed layups. But hey it's a "W". 4-27 on treys and won by 7. Maybe when you are shooting 4-for-27 from 3-point range, YOU SHOULD TRY SOMETHING ELSE!

Re: Bobby Mo
FYI I never heard about that letter RMU's president wrote to the PG. (link inside above article). Real classy of him to point out that Duquesne hasn't been to the tournament since 1977. Real classy.

Re: Bobby Mo
Maybe we can break that streak and end the parity in basketball this year and get this to be a sure W as it once was.
Good Luck Dukes, oh yeah TJ lost his starting job after leading his 76 ers' to a 1-26 start, ( for all TJ fans)

How in God's name do you interpret that a Meyer gets that sense that a President, who has yet to take office and the current AD, who has been in office less than two months, aren't fully committed to athletics? Of course we know that the current lame duck president wasn't so committed nor was John Edward Murray, Jr. nor were their string of AD lap dogs. Meyer makes the point of why and how Duquesne got where it currently is and what the prior people in ivory towers did not do. How about giving Harper and Gormley a little bit of breathing room? Things are changing a little already in the one major sport at Duquesne that Meyer focused on in case you haven't noticed. You get disappointed to easily

Meyers quote from the article.
That's how I get it. I swear you just troll my comments looking to jump down my throat.
I say positive things about the women's team all the time. You never post after I make positive comments. I went to all but one football game
I like Mr Harper. I'm happy about being 9-2.
I don't like you at all.

Re: Bobby Mo
It will take a lot more than Harper's commitment to make mens bb successful. It is apparent that RMU's president had everyone in the university on board (board members, other high ranking staff) all working towards the goal of improving RMU athletics. Perhaps Meyer doesn't see that same commitment at DU.
He said "those at the top of the university". Those implies more than just one.

Jim ferry has absolutely added depth to this program. Raise your hand if you thought we would shoot 4-27 on treys and still win a game this year. Didn't think so.
