akronzips71 Posted October 24, 2018 Report Posted October 24, 2018 Should have told him to take a flying leap. Traitor. Not because he left, because he took much of the team with him. Quote

NWAkron Posted October 25, 2018 Report Posted October 25, 2018 Is it at the JAR? I'm sure Duquesne is paying for the use of the arena. Quote

The article doesn't specify. KD does mention St.V. in the video clip. They might even play in the LBJ gym, especially if they wrap the event around LBJ and the I Promise school. It holds 1800. Firestone holds 2200. I have no problem with KD, but not really sure UA should help out here. ( I admit I didn't recall Radford made the NCAA tournament last year, though. Might want a bigger venue) Edited October 25, 2018 by ewbrooman1 Quote

Brings some people to Akron. Hopefully Luigi's will get a bump. ETA: UA should offer its facilities to (most) any event that brings out of towners to campus.

I'd agree with this in most any other case, but my biggest beef is Duquesne showcasing its brand to the recruits in our area, especially when they aren't going to be playing us. 6 Quote

ewbrooman1 Posted October 28, 2018 Author Report Posted October 28, 2018 The schedule on Duquesne's website now says the game will be played at St. V. 1 Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted October 31, 2018 Report Posted October 31, 2018 The defending A-10 10th place champs invade Akron? Playing at a high school gym? Sounds too good to be true? Heard nosebleeds are going for $125 bucks on StubHub. Gonna be awesome! 1 1 Quote

clarkwgriswold Posted October 31, 2018 Report Posted October 31, 2018 (edited) I get that it's kind of a homecoming for KD, but in my gut, this just doesn't feel right in that it gives him an unfair advantage in that school. I remember there being a rule that high school teams can't play in college venues during the "dead period" and that's not the case here, but this just has a bad smell. Not saying there's anything sinister going on here, it just looks bad. Good thing Lunden McDay is already committed to OU. Can you imagine the questions if he decommitted sometime after this game and ended up at Duquesne? Edited October 31, 2018 by clarkwgriswold 1 Quote

In eleven years...Josh Williams? The Travis/Dru/Rome crew was recruited maybe 15 years ago? Quote
kreed5120 Posted October 31, 2018 Report Posted October 31, 2018 (edited) Personally, I'm indifferent to it. I don't see a no name program playing a 1-off game at Akron making any impact whatsoever. Now if Dayton or Pitt started to come to Akron to play an annual game, I might start making a fuss. Edited October 31, 2018 by kreed5120 Quote

Good news. I'm pretty sure you don't have to worry about either of those possibilities. Quote
dre22era Posted November 16, 2018 Report Posted November 16, 2018 Talk about a kick in the chest. For the record I am still not on board with John Groce and believe our AD and Conference could of did a better job defending our case to get an At Large Bid. New story today Duquesne-Radford game to benefit I Promise School, be played at St. V-M on Saturday Quote Duquesne University, coached by Keith Dambrot, will play Radford University in a regular-season men’s basketball game at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School’s LeBron James Arena at noon Saturday. The game’s proceeds will benefit James’ I Promise School, as Duquesne will be making a donation after the game. Admission to the game is free. Dambrot coached James at St. V-M for two years and headed the University of Akron men’s basketball program for 13 seasons. https://www.ohio.com/sports/20181115/duquesne-radford-game-to-benefit-i-promise-school-be-played-at-st-v-m-on-saturday Quote
