Slim, although the publicity generated by Damien's success is all good; I still think that making the tournament is the only way to shed the losers image; it is far more tangible than one player receiving accolades. -- Duquesne Dukes Basketball Forum

I agree Jules. The NCAA Tournament is the end all and be all today. (NT) -- duq81, Friday, November 05, 05:48:53pm
- We have a second on that motion. (NT) -- El Duque, Friday, November 05, 06:05:04pm
I agree...in the long run, we need to show that we can be players in the dance on a regular basis. my comment was about whether it was a "must" this year as you seemed to indicate. I think we remain long shots to make the tourney this year. (NT) -- Slim, Saturday, November 06, 07:05:46am
- Is better to have low expectations and high achievement, than high expectations and go home in March. (NT) -- El Duque, Saturday, November 06, 09:14:55am
  - Really El Duque? How does low expectations put people in the stands? (NT) -- TMH, Saturday, November 06, 10:10:32am
    - Anyone out there picking us to win the A-10? (NT) -- El Duque, Saturday, November 06, 01:12:03pm
      - No..but perhaps you are missing my point. -- TMH, Saturday, November 06, 02:19:16pm
        You are reading way too much into the statement. (NT) -- El Duque, Saturday, November 06, 07:50:52pm
        Nothing wrong with expectations TMH. I tend to view my expectations as neither "high" nor "low" but "realistic." I am able to put my fandom aside and see the holes in the roster and holes in particular players games. This team should have a "goal" to make the NCAA tourney but it's a bit unrealistic for the fans to have an "expectation" that they will. That realism does not stop me from rooting for victory in every game. (NT) -- Slim, Sunday, November 07, 10:04:13am
