I literally just posted an example of a Duquesne recruit saying KD's Akron streak factored into their decision.  Dylan Swingle mentioned it as well.

 

Did you not understand my response? As it has become cliche to post "blessed" every time an offer is received or a commitment is made, it might have become cliche to mention the consecutive 20+ win seasons.

Or that might be a real reason...

Duquesne with another loss (4th in a row), this time by 7 points to St. Joe's (12-14). 64.7% from the line.

The Dukes lose again, this time 73-67 to St Bonaventure. That's 9 of their last 12 in the "L" column. 

 

Hope "Keith" took it easy on their elderly announcer tonight.

What a shame.

Another day, another L for the Dookies.

One more regular season game for the Dukes, so they'll enter the conference tournament at either 16-14 or 15-15.  Definitely progress for the program and a lot to look forward to for them starting next year.

To quote my own post from earlier in the season, "They will still struggle this year until they get some big additions next season".  Or something like that.  

 

They've still surprisingly doubled their conference wins from a year ago, and have done some things they haven't done in a long time, with a very depleted lineup.  I think they've definitely done enough to show that they're pretty close to competing again in that league.  Pretty impressive to see them emerging from the shadows of winning only 3 league games last year.    Not sure if Keith has enough pieces right now to put together one of his classic conference tournament runs, but it obviously wouldn't surprise me.

Sorry, I had to laugh at that one.  

 

A few guys hate Keith so much that they don't even realize what they are doing when they poke fun at a Duquesne loss.

Sorry, I was just thinking, "What if Groce, the coach of AKRON, got the benefit of the doubt during a 6 game losing streak, losing 10 of their last 13 in a very down conference?"

 

Reading the Duquesne board, the Dukes aren't finishing strong, emulative at times of Dambrot's time at Akron. Meanwhile, Akron has become stronger as we've approached the end of the season with a much more depleted roster, and the Dambrot/Duquesne supporters on this board struggle to give Groce any support/positive remarks.

We're 2-7 over our last 9.

Duquesne has a helluva class coming in, by the way:

 

Gavin Bizeau - 6'10", 180 lbs - 4*

Dylan Swingle - 6'11", 300 lbs - 3*

Austin Rotroff - 6'9", 225 lbs - 3*

Amari Kelly - 6'9", 225 lbs - 2*

Brandon Wade - 6'2", 180 lbs - 2*

It's amazing how delusion people are when they are determined to double down on their mission.

In  the last 12 seasons, we failed to make it to the MAC Championship Game only 3 times.

And in ALL of those 3 seasons, we made it to the Semifinal.  

 

Yet, you'll insist on criticizing that (see above), while simultaneously demanding that we praise this current "becoming stronger" Akron team?

 

I want what you're smoking.

For those interested, I took a look at Duquesne's outlook for 2018-2019.  I have admittedly not seen some of these players play before, so I'm guessing on a lot of this, but I don't see much PT for Dunn-Martin.  Williams Jr. and Lewis are the Dukes' leading scorers this year as a freshman and a sophomore respectively, so I'd expect they'll continue to play.  Frankie Hughes and Craig Randall are both transferring in, and I'd expect both to be ahead of TDM.  It will also be interesting to see who the scholarships go to...by my count they have 16 players for next year.  My guess is that's my error, but maybe they really do have a roster crunch.  I'd expect them to be pretty good starting next year.

Always interesting when someone posts something like this, knowing they clicked on a thread titled, "Duquesne Basketball Coach Keith Dambrot" and took the time to post about just how little they care.  

 

Some people do care and are interesting to follow KD's progression at Duquesne, for various reasons.  If you don't, that's cool.  Just don't click on the thread next time.

Exactly.   And the same ones who say that just keep coming back.  

[skip-zip]

The number "7" must be Keith Dambrot's lucky number.

 

Duquesne hits another milestone this season by recording 7 conference wins for the first time in the last 7 seasons, with a win tonight over the #4 team in the league.  

 

With that roster?  Pretty Unbelievable.

I'll never get this type of response, but you do you.
