Pretty good schedule. Cleary is Carl Thomas's team.

Re: Duquesne 2023-24 Full Schedule Released

The non conference schedule has some solid opponents, I like it other than playing an NAIA school the game before conference play. What is the value in that?? Cleary University's head coach is Carl Thomas, so I know why we chose to play them but I would understand it more if it was the first or second game of the season. not kicking off the most intense time of the year.

I don't know. Get the team back together after Xmas, shake off a little rust. It could have been worse.

Re: Duquesne 2023-24 Full Schedule Released

Bart Torvik creates a team projection for 2024 based on returning players, players, added, etc. etc.  I don't know how valid this is as a predictor, but Bart does put some advanced statistical basketball knowledge to work in his ongoing ankings.  Right now, it's the best I have at hand for now; use it as a point of reference.

He has the Dukes ranked #56.  Here are the rankings for our non conference opponents:
48 - Nebraska
87 - UC Irvine
88 - Charleston
114 - Bradley
135 - Princeton
143 - Marshall
171 - Cleveland State
192 - Santa Clara
225 - Stony Brook
235 - Rider
298 - Saint Peter's
314 - Chicago State
N/A - Cleary (NAIA)

Re: Duquesne 2023-24 Full Schedule Released

Thanks Phoenix.  November is a big month for us with the three top 100 non-conference teams.  I sure hope we are at full strength.  Has anyone heard if Barre has been cleared to practice?

Re: Duquesne 2023-24 Full Schedule Released

Dukes would have to win 27-28 games to have a shot at a at large bid.The out of conference schedule is ok.
The A10 just doesnt have enough quality teams and is a 1 and at best a 2 team conference for NCAA invites.

This was fun. Credit where it's due, nice to see the social media folks stepping up a bit. This was on Instagram, as well. Looks like some neat personalities on this team. Run with it.

Re: Duquesne 2023-24 Full Schedule Released

I thought the segment with the players cracking jokes was super cool!!  The kids look to be having fun.  I am excited for the season and I'll start another thread with some questions for everyone.  Wildwood good seeing you down at Rivers!!!

Re: Duquesne 2023-24 Full Schedule Released

The national TV games are great, but should we still expect ESPN+ to carrying all or most other games?

That is a good question. According to this schedule that Zach Weiss tweeted all of our home games are either on TV or streaming on ESPN+ 
There are however several away games that show neither. I sure hope this is an oversight.

Re: Duquesne 2023-24 Full Schedule Released

I'm sure a lot of those road games will default to ESPN+ if no one else jumps in.

Thanks CLK.  Yes, only makes sense that ESPN+ will cover them all if they had every game of that horrific 21-22 season.
