It seems the guard play is picking up, Castro has more confidence and his stop and go dribble and dribble drive to the basket is hard to stop.

The adjustment of Blackman and Smith seems to be underway and Mike Lewis II is becoming a dependable off guard that can provide offense.

I still wonder what happened to JAMES, at quick big swing man, maybe he will play himself into a more productive upperclassman as the year goes on.

We all seem to wonder why JRob is unused, and I think Mike will score more if he swings inside and is more particular on his three point attempts.

It is so early in the year to be playing game number ten, maybe a more manageable schedule with time for practices to correct errors will help.

I would hope my predicted 16 wins could be reached, it will take winning all conference games that aren't upsets and stealing several wins and upsets.

The

To reach 16 wins, they need to win the next 4 games, then win at least 8 league games. That would mean at least 6 of 9 at home, plus stealing 2 on the road, probably at St. Louis, plus one more. The league is down this year, so if the Dukes would actually get on a roll, it might not be as far fetched as it seems.

Same here.  Couldn't get anybody  to go but I drove 50 minutes and I'm here by myself!

Horrible turnout here.  Embarrassing  for both teams honestly.

Down by 4 at half. Not looking good.  Sanders is having monster game

Again we don't kick the ball in to the post and out.  Robinson would eat this team alive inside but no minutes. We generate no open shots and their D keeps pushing us further out. Just missed 3 after missed 3. Ferry sucks. We won the Pitt game because Artemis was out.  He put Abrahamson in with a bandaged hand and he did nothing.

Down 9 another missed 3. Their top player Stiehl has 16.

Sanders best game ever.  No Lewis second half. Lewis coming in should be Robinson. Lewis TO

No Duquesne students that I can tell. No band either.

Our students suck.  I'm sorry for anyone on the board who is one currently.  You have an impossible task.  Students only care for the Pitt game.  It's pretty sad that we only care about the OPPONENT we are playing.  You would think that the students would have had fun at the Pitt game.  Apparently not.  


Man, why am I becoming such a curmudgeon as of late?  I'm only 32 and my suffering hasn't been nearly as long as most.

A Lane Violation!!! Damn Bumbs, typical Duquesne Dukes

That is at least some solace 81, and hopefully correct.

Ferry's done. Beating Pitt was the real nail in the coffin. Didn't see the first half but Blackman couldn't do much right in the 2nd.

This team's basketball IQ is really low.  So many stupid turnovers, missed layups and defensive lapses.  Look just about assured it will be a losing season.  The best we can do in the non con is 7 wins, and that is not a sure thing. The only question in my mind is will this team win this team win more than 12 games (more than 5 conference wins), and will Ferry survive.

Other than the enjoyment of beating Pitt, this cancels that win out. The last 4 coaches to beat Pitt were fired at the end of the year. That trend will continue.

Who are the up and coming coaches that might make a pit stop here for the money we pay? Maybe Toole? The guy from UMBC? Maybe lower ourselves and give Mike Rice a call? Al Skinner? Mike Jarvis? Tom Penders? John Chaney? Ed Dechellis? World Wide Wes? Is Gale Catlett still living?
