• If BJ learns how to fit FTs, he could really emerge as a go-to guy, especially with Damian gimpy right now. Teams will figure out Saunders' incapacity and double down on Billy, so someone has to step up big-time. BJ has the talent to do that. (NT) -- El Duque, Wednesday, November 24, 09:39:21am

• Thanks for the Positive Thanksgiving Post CLK. I believe this team has a world of potential this year. Everyone seems to have picked it up from last year and the Frosh are amazing. Lets keep the faith and watch as this team takes us on the ride sometimes down but I will bet mostly up! Ron E. has elevated this team as you say and his best is yet to come also in my opinion. Pitt will be a test but you've got to love our style of play! Go Dukes and Everyone have a great Thanksgiving! (NT) -- Motor, Wednesday, November 24, 10:56:58am

• Negative comments are positive…if folks on this board did not voice negative comments over the years we’d still have Colleary as AD. In other words if the Dukes lay and egg then we should call a spade a spade. Positive – Freshman class is best we’ve seen in 25 years or more. Dukes are set a point guard for the next 4 years with TJ. Bill Clark has his touch back. Negative – Record should be 3-0…blowing 13 point lead against Robert Morris still hurts. No inside game and abundance of turnovers are big concerns. Short-term goal for Duquesne is -- Greg, Wednesday, November 24, 03:32:38pm
  • Your point is understood, but knowing Motor he was referring more to the hit-and-run trolls who only seem to show up after a loss, rather than constructive discussion. And you mentioned something that I was also thinking about: We need to win a game we're "supposed" to lose. Not that the RMU game will hurt us; they will be an NCAA team again this year. But we need to win as many games as possible to have a shot at postseason. I think it comes down to playing with intensity, and getting Saunders healthy.

  • Greg your point is well taken also. I certainly agree that negative comments/criticism when appropriate are certainly welcome on a board like this. My only point was in all the finger pointing and negative thoughts around lets look at the good side also the glass is always half full or empty.! (NT) -- Motor, Wednesday, November 24, 04:21:04pm
    • Motor, thanks. That was also exactly the point of my post. We have all read the negative comments. Some are constructive comments and some are not. I was just trying to provide a little balance. Happy Thanksgiving my friend, (NT) -- CLK, Wednesday, November 24, 05:42:54pm
    • Understood. Happy Thanksgiving (NT) -- Greg, Thursday, November 25, 10:29:30am

• I've been on this board forever and have contributed negative comments before. As to my defense of Rod on a previous post, I feel that that any type of reference and evalution of talent or generalizations based on race or national origin should be out of bounds and IMHO not funny......maybe that wasn't the intent of the orginal poster, but that what I got out of it....Happy Thankgiving to everyone on this board and all Duquesne University supporters...Go Dukes!!!!

  • Nah..different view...it was light hearted with no malice towards race or nationality...at least that never occured to me. Basketball is HUGE in Brazil and I had high hopes for Rod. Can he still turn it around? Maybe so....he should take a lesson from Aaron Jackson and play with a sense of urgency. My observation is he is not always focused and that contributes to him being out of position, turnovers etc. (NT) -- Greg, Thursday, November 25, 10:40:30am
    • The coaches, I hear, are very high on Rod, and think he can be a major force on this team. We've only seen flashes because we only get to see him in games. Personally, I'd like to see Marhold and Wright get more minutes because I think both have a high ceiling. I like Rod and would love to see him step it up, but my own observation is that his upside is along the lines of Jack May. That's certainly not a bad thing either.

• How good is UMBC? (NT) -- FAM, Wednesday, November 24, 06:50:16pm
  • Not very. Haven't won yet. Collection of guys who played elsewhere and matriculated at UMBC for graduate degrees. But going to be a test for Damian because they have some bigs. (NT) -- El Duque, Wednesday, November 24, 07:52:00pm
