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. -- Duquesne Dukes Basketball Forum

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. (NT) -- Abdul Rahman, Friday, November 19, 09:58:31pm
- 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
