Duquesne thread

The optimist would say only lost there two weeks ago - the pessimist would say Mc Connell had no field goals and Myers had two and that won't happen again.

Oh I just noticed the men play at Archie tonight same time - guess won't be having many paying attention to this game. Shucks!

Can’t you blame anyone? This team is flat out terrible. Beyond that they are not even entertaining and most of the players will be gone soon.

One question for you - do you enjoy ripping college athletes? IS that your past time? No they are not a good team - if you don't believe they are entertaining that's your right to feel so but why do you rip these athletes? Can you answer that?

From the Chalk talk, it sounds like Maliya Perry may not be in the line up tonight. Also Shannon’s surgery went very well and she will be starting rehab in a couple of weeks.

Since UD Athletic Department Folks supposedly monitor UD Pride


Why in the hell do you continue to schedule Womens game at the same time as mens games? If you want to grow the womens game and boost home attendance, STOP this practice forever.

I don’t suspect Coach gave a reason for Perry”s absence? I don’t see her on the bench (again) so that is somewhat concerning.

Flyers stunning Duquesne 30-16 after Q1

Best quarter of basketball from this team I’ve seen all season. Only negative is both Smith and Perez have two fouls.

Dukes have no hustle so far.

Ugg both Smith and Perez pick up quick third foul. Gonna have to hang on the rest of the half. Here is where we miss Perry.

Flyers lead 42-39 at half but suffering from fouls situation although it looks like Perez may actually only have two fouls.

It stuns me how little Bohanon looks to score.

Stats updated to reflect Perez with 3 fouls 😞

Third quarter has been pretty awful - Dayton trails 64-52 after Q3

Defense took a break presumably so Perez wouldn’t pick up 4th foul 😂

Horrible foul called on Perez for #5 🫤

Seems to have deflated Dayton who now trails 78-63

As for the men and women playing at the same time, the conference makes the schedule - UD has nothing to do with it - this may happen 2-3 times a year so not a big deal - as for last night so painful to see a 30+ point turnaround but lack of depth showed with Perez and Smith in foul trouble. Worst part to see was some giving up in the fourth quarter with heads hung low resulting in easy inside baskets by Duquesne - Coach was so animated in last two time outs but what more can she do!

Sure I can answer. Not everyone gets a trophy. We praise them when they do well, but you seem to think that they are exempt from criticism. They get a full ride scholarship worth say $50,000.00 per year , plus eligibility for NIL compensation, a whole bunch of swag and free trips. Isn’t there some expectation of performance?

This team may be the worst in school history. And who’s accountable.? If the athletes are so poor in their performance they should be replaced with talent more deserving as soon as possible with women that can compete for championships. That’s what the facilities, coaching and fan based are geared for.

They are not exempt from criticism - I don't sugarcoat bad play on the broadcasts like the never ending travels and turnovers on inbound passes but making statements like most of the players will be gone soon is a generalization that is going too far.
