Duquesne to build on winning season

[waggy]

This is a couple weeks old, but a pretty long article in the Pitt Tribune about Duquense and bball in the city of Pitt. The Dukes have lost some players, but Everhart has some good recruits coming in.

"Just two years ago, Greg Oden (formerly of Ohio State) pushes a kid from Xavier out of bounds, they don't call an intentional foul, and Xavier misses a great chance of being in the Final Four."

I like this guy already.

Also, its refeshing to see he is not referring to the NIT as a standard for success. He only focuses on the NCAA tourney runs. I wish other A10 coaches (and the commish) would adopt this mindset.

I hope the Dukes do well also (for the benefit of the A-10 overall). Unfortunately, they have lost two of their top players from last year's team that barely had a winning record against one of the worst schedules in all of the A-10 (OOC + conference).

While the new players coming in may be talented, they will be both young and/or in need of learning a new system.
