The epic battle for the basement; sole possession at stake! Last edited by PhoenixRising2 (3/03/2017 9:00 pm) We've already clinched a 20-loss season. What else is there to play for? Really hope Ferry can get a win for his last regular season A10 game of his career. Would be nice to kick his ass out the door on a high note. I predict 178 in attendance I expect a win on Saturday. But that and any other win that might occur should not delay the inevitable. I predict 178 in attendance Does this include the Pep Band, The Ticket Takers, The Ushers, The Cheerleaders, the Dance Troupe & The Mascot? (OOPS I forgot we don't have the Mascot any more - maybe he/she was too disgusted with how far the program has fallen) I predict 178 in attendance Does this include the Pep Band, The Ticket Takers, The Ushers, The Cheerleaders, the Dance Troupe & The Mascot?

This promo will really bring them in. Appropriate that the players will be dressed in black for the funeral of a coach's career. Or maybe they can pretend that they are VCU for a day.

What are they going to do with all the extra socks? Since I have about 50 tee-shirts from the tee-shirt tosses over the years and dozens of the plastic balls when they had the ball tosses and Pantophlets game jersey before he bailed to play soccer, I might as well start a sock collection. I actually have dress tee-shirts (the ones without the burger king logo on the back), painting tee-shirts (the ones with the burger king logo on the back), yard work tee-shirts, and wedding and funeral tee-shirts (the nice red ones with no logo on the back).

Yeah, cute it's the area code, but what looks better (or worse)? 4 bucks for any seat in the house or just free seats for everyone. DU will literally make tens of dollars on this promotion.

This has the feel of a last minute promotion. I could not find anything about this promotion on the official Dukes website: www.goduquesne.com When do we reach the soft part of the schedule so we can string some wins together?

Maybe they should charge $2.50 per ticket. After all, that is Ferry's overall win % in A-10 play. (Shiver) This program is cursed. This was mike Lewis' worst game of the year. Silent all game and then misses two free throws with a chance to win. Brutal. God Bless Him - I hope Ferry hugs Lewis and doesn't blame him. - Like in most games that come down to the end, that is all folks remember. It should not have come down to this. Losing at home to another terrible team - Please Mr. Harper, help us with the misery of this basketball program. This was probably the most heartbreaking loss of the season. Hopefully Mike Lewis will shake this one off, but it should not have come to his free throws. This is a game the Dukes should have won going away, after up 12. In many ways, however, this game epitomized the entire season. Stupid unforced turnovers, poor quick forced shots, no movement on offense, poor free throw shooting, weak rebounding. In the second half the Dukes showed no visible signs of coaching, The Dukes still view the zone defense like it is chinese arithmetic with no help from the bench. If Ferry gets fired next week he really has no one to blame but himself. Last edited by CLK (3/04/2017 4:40 pm) I predict 178 in attendance Actually you were way off almost 1500 in the house. Students are utterly useless at Duquesne, They just don't show at all! The uniforms were good, performance not so good; I know you guys like to find ways to blame Ferry for every loss; but FT shooting, 3-point shooting along with some poor decisions lost this game. I predict 178 in attendance Actually you were way off almost 1500 in the house. Students are utterly useless at Duquesne, They just don't show at all! Why should they? 40 years of losing and no connection to any tradition of competence, let alone winning, I probably wouldn't care either

Don't overlook a horribly amateur ref crew that was bad, even by A-10 standards. They really hurt the Dukes at critical times when the could have put the game away. Some off the wall bad calls, while letting contact go on drives to the hoop. The old guy needs to retire, he is just guessing out there; embarrassing himself and the league. The young white guy just steals his money; really does little the whole game; and is usually wrong when he blows the whistle.
