Thanks, but I just an old guy who became addicted to DU hoops back in the Glory Days.  As much as I have tried, I have not been able to break the habit.  I find comfort in this board knowing that there are so many other DU addicts like me.

Actually, the DU twitter posted a tweet about the first game, where Mali upset Nigeria.  In that game bot Drame brothers had 14 points.  

Duquesne Basketball on X: "Mali upset Nigeria in Olympic Pre-Qualifiers 🇲🇱 Hassan and Fousseyni finished with 14 points each 👀 #GoDukes https://t.co/NQUyCxv5Ld" / X (twitter.com)

 

Today against Cameron Fousseyni Drame had 16 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals. His brother Hassan had 5 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals. Great individual efforts, however, not enough as Mali lost 87 - 70.

 

I was trying to recall any Duquesne players who participated in the Olympics.  Kieron Achara was a member of the Great Britain team in 2012.  Who else, if any, am I missing?

Didn't Martin Osinami play internationally? I think Uraguay.

I know that he played for Uruguay’s national team, but I don’t believe they ever qualified for the Olympics. Great Britain only qualified because they were the host “country” in 2012.
