• If he was that good would he be here? Sometimes you take a flyer on a project if he has size. (NT) -- duq81, Monday, November 22, 09:39:06pm

• Dukes play well tonight and the whining continues -- stew, Monday, November 22, 10:53:39pm
  • My only wish is that TJ coulda had 1 more assist. By god, he almost got a triple double and was out at the 8:40 mark. Wow (NT) -- Alan, Monday, November 22, 11:33:22pm
  • I'll predict it now, TJ has a quad-double (pts, rebounds, assists, steals) before he leaves the Bluff. (NT) -- ztown, Tuesday, November 23, 08:20:06am
    • Well, there have only been 4 quadruple-doubles in the history of the NBA, only one of which was by a guard. I don't know about college, but this is obviously very difficult to do. (NT) -- duq81, Thursday, November 25, 01:20:50pm
      • 2 surprises from that list. First that the guard was not Oscar Robertson but Alvin and that Wilt is not on that list. (NT) -- VBC, Thursday, November 25, 09:24:23pm
        • Perhaps it may even be more rare than we think. -- TMH, Thursday, November 25, 10:36:03pm

• Peggau....really...thats all you got...we blow bout a team by 34 points on the road and thats all you got...really...It's time people get of Peggua's back, the kid has legitmately only in his second year , since his knee surgery....throw out last year as most people take a full year to recover from such an injury.....give it a break already.... (NT) -- TKE/81, Monday, November 22, 11:31:22pm

• STU and TKE/81--take a chill pill. I credited the team about their great effort and big win. As for Peggau, I agree with duq81, "If he was good would he [Peggau] be here?" (NT) -- apluski, Tuesday, November 23, 01:15:58am

• It just that your whole premise is flawed...Brazil is not a bastball hotbed for talent...in fact the only Brazilian born is NBA player is Nene and thats it..not exactly a basketball talent hotbed.....also you haven't a clue what he went thru to get to Duquesne, learning a new language a new culture, being so far away from home i'm sure is no picnic either......what bothers me the most though is that your saying that the kid has no talent and Dukes were fools for recruiting him.... (NT) -- TKE/81, Tuesday, November 23, 03:30:55am
  • Don't opine on what you don't know. Basketball is HUGE in Brazil and there is a ton of talent there. Dukes were fantastic tonight. (NT) -- greg, Tuesday, November 23, 06:31:49am

• TKE/81: Premises? hummm, let me see. So Brazil has only one NBA player so that is your proof that Brazil is not a hotbed for basketball. Well, they certainly appear to hold their own during the basketball world championships playing against NBA players (inside). -- apluski, Tuesday, November 23, 04:27:59am

• Blowout is good? Remember Dukes blew out Howard by 70....how did that year work out? (NT) -- Q, Tuesday, November 23, 10:04:01am
  • We didn't blow Howard out on the road. This was our biggest road margin since 1973, which arguably was the last time Duquesne had a team that could compete with quality teams. (NT) -- duq81, Tuesday, November 23, 10:16:33am
    • Slight correction duq81,this was the largest road victory in history, surpassing the 1973 game you were alluding to. (NT) -- TMH, Tuesday, November 23, 11:29:32am
      • TMH, the reporter and the copy editor failed math. The margin of victory was only 36 points (not 46 as mentioned in the article). Thus, the 42 point victory in 1973 at St. Peter's still stands as the record. Duq81 is correct. (NT) -- Phoenix Rising, Tuesday, November 23, 11:53:24am
        • Thanks for the correction. I never even did the math...but I passed reading :-) (NT) -- TMH, Tuesday, November 23, 12:22:50pm
  • That year? Oh, yes, Duquesne was 17-13. Not bad after winning only 3 games in a season two years prior. What's your point, Q? (NT) -- Salvatore Magliore, Wednesday, November 24, 01:49:13pm

• I think you are dead wrong about Peggau; he clearly has talent to go along with his 6' 8" body; you may not have noticed that he handles the ball pretty will for a big guy; and moves well without the ball; what I see now with Peggau is that the game is still moving fast for him; sometimes even for the best players it just takes playing time to allow the game to "slow down" for them and then you will see a more effective player. He has had very little game experience due to injury; so I think you need to give it time; until he is more comfortable in games. (NT) -- Jules, Tuesday, November 23, 11:44:06am
  • I actually agree with this. I'm not under any belief that Peggau will eventually be a star, but I do think that he will be a contributor. Hopefully by the end of the season. (NT) -- Slim, Tuesday, November 23, 03:18:07pm
    • I agree also. Two years ago in Loretto, the rowdier St. Francis students decided that Rod and BC would be the Dukes they harassed. They both literally silenced the crowd by their play, including a few seconds where Rod took a charge, got an off. board and a put back where he was fouled and hit the FT. He also showed some game against Pitt las year. I think he needs to get consistent playing time. -- MikeR, Wednesday, November 24, 03:13:18pm
  • His time is running out. Thus far is a liability...when he has the ball he's out of control and you get the feeling a travel or charge is moments away. On defense he seems tough enough however he is slow to get set and almost always gets a block foul rather than draw the charge. In the Pitt game last year he showed a glimpse of some ability and that was it for all of 2009. Duquesne cannot afford any more projects....I'd give him a few more early out of conference games to get it together and if he can't he should sit at the end of the bench.

• Excellent response after the disappointment at RMU. What I liked was after DU built a workable lead in the first half they did not let BG back into the game. Regarding Rod P, if there is any discernable talent there, hopefully he flashes it soon. The team will need his bulk and athletic ability as the competition level rises when conference play begins. If he is indeed "knocking the rust off" from inactivity we should show him some patience. If this is the "Best he got" he will not be a factor going forward.

• To help ease the pain of the RMU loss: Chaminade a division II school beat Oklahoma. Imagine the explaining the Oklahoma coach has to do. (NT) -- Econ69, Wednesday, November 24, 07:57:16pm

• Rod averaging 16 minutes a game and 6 rebounds. If he can cut down on his turnovers (8 total) he'll be fine. (NT) -- WashpaRick, Wednesday, November 24, 08:46:10pm
  • Thanks Rick, we do need him on the boards.. (NT) -- kenOTR73, Thursday, November 25, 02:08:51pm
