I thought that both Greg & Ron understood the local angle & agreed to play SFU home & home. Looking at SFU's non-conf home games (Drexel, Bucknell and Colgate this year), the Dukes would usually be the highest ranked team to go into Stokes every other year. It seemed to be good for SFU and a nice gesture on the Dukes' part. I think SFU was looking for a big check from Duquesne rather than a return visit. And with the late date cancellation or ultimatum from SFU, I don't think the Dukes wanted to pay another 300+ RPI team to come here (already have Northwestern St. and Norfolk St.). -- Duquesne Dukes Basketball Forum

In reply to: duq81 's message, "My problem is with them screwing us around. They should bend over backwards to accomodate us, not leave us in the lurch. If we play them, all games should be at Palumbo from now on." on Tuesday, November 16, 08:52:09pm
