Very poor performance all the way around. A very bad loss. No way to sugar coat it . No need to apologize for being an optimist. Pre-season the vast majority of the board seemed to have tourney fever and was projecting 20+ wins. Heck, I felt like the anti-fan when I predicted 17. The team must now steal a game or two to make up for the Bobby Mo loss. -- Duquesne Dukes Basketball Forum

In reply to: kenOTR73 's message, "I couldn't take it so I left with a minute to go. The played 3 guards and 2 forwards and killed us on the boards. No offensive rebounds not putbacks. Pitt will beat us by 30. Sorry I've been so optimistic. No fool like an old fool." on Friday, November 19, 09:36:56pm

yep...you did call for 17 wins. The problem with this board is every year the regulars set unreasonably high expectations. Truth is Robert Morris is a talented and well coached team. Yes Duquesne is getting better (best recuiting class in 15 years) but a long way to go. The folks calling for NCAA bid and 20 wins r way off base. (NT) -- Greg, Saturday, November 20, 01:21:28pm
