Re: 2/3 | Duquesne | 12:30PM (USA)

Ok, call me Charmin...I watched Archie's presser, and have watched most of them...fwiw, I don't think I'd want to play for the guy Saw that. Kinda risky to throw a whole team under the bus. Maybe last years crew that was inherited, but Miller recruited this bunch. Dangerous strategy methinks. If I ...

Re: Where Are They Now? Former Player Results and News

I’m sticking with Miller for now on talent evaluation especially in ball handling. Got nothing against Bassy. Good luck to him. He’s dropped down to a level that enables him to start. Miller would have him buried deep on the bench and likely told him so. I turned on my TV the other night to see Leg...

Re: 2/3 | Duquesne | 12:30PM (USA)

Kortright and Montgomery final look healthy. Cool off Clark, clean up poor rebounding and make few shots and we’ll be ok. Miller seems to be struggling a bit today distributing the minutes.

What’s up with all the season ticket no shows in S104?

Good turnout otherwise - let’s not lay a 2nd half egg.
