Jacob Hebda | Staff Writer 03/22/2018 “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of … Continue reading A Tale of Two Pittsburgh Basketball Programs
Adam Lindner | Sports Editor 11/18/2017 At the A.J. Palumbo Center on Sunday, Nov. 19 at 5:30 p.m., Duquesne’s men’s basketball team (2-0) will take on area rival Robert Morris (0-3). Over the past seven games between the Dukes and the Colonials, Duquesne is 1-6 — something that new head coach Keith Dambrot surely can’t wait to change. Dambrot has awoken Duquesne’s men’s program since his … Continue reading Alumni authors to celebrate updated book at Nov. 19 MBB game
Adam Lindner | Sports Editor 11/09/2017 On March 8 at PPG Paints Arena in the opening round of last season’s Atlantic 10 Men’s Basketball Championship, No. 14 Duquesne led No. 11 Saint Louis by 18 points with 15 minutes remaining in regulation.

By Adam Lindner | Asst. Sports Editor It’s the dawn of a new day for Duquesne basketball, and as expected, there’s been tremendous roster movement since Keith Dambrot was appointed as Duquesne’s new head basketball coach last month. The fragment of a roster that stands today barely resembles the one that the Red & Blue ended the season with, which leaves the team both excited … Continue reading Beginning of Dambrot era spawns high roster turnover

By Andrew Holman | Sports Editor The Duquesne men’s basketball coaching search served as a metaphor for the last 40 years of the program — a complete trainwreck. The names of King Rice (Monmouth), Dane Fife (Michigan State) and James Whitford (Ball State) were all rumored to be in advanced talks with Duquesne to take over the program. All three of those discussions fell through. … Continue reading Dambrot hire means tourney drought is coming to a close
By Adam Lindner | Asst. Sports Editor BREAKING: According to CBS Sports’ Gary Parrish, Michigan State assistant coach Dane Fife is in “advanced talks” to become the next head coach at Duquesne. Fife, who was a fan favorite as a guard at Indiana University from 1998-2002, was thought to be a dark horse candidate for the vacant Indiana head coaching job. Fife has been an … Continue reading UPDATE: Fife takes name out of Duquesne head coaching search
By Andrew Holman | Sports Editor It’s time for a good old-fashioned reality check — the Duquesne men’s basketball program is a dumpster fire. Duquesne men’s basketball over the last 40 years has been a disgrace to the university, and after Jim Ferry’s firing last week, the program finds itself in yet another position to rebuild as it has too many times during this four-decade … Continue reading Clock keeps ticking on Dukes’ tourney drought
By Andrew Holman | Sports Editor Duquesne University Athletics Director Dave Harper decided Monday to oust Jim Ferry as the head coach of the Duquesne men’s basketball program. He spent five years in command of the Dukes, but left with just a 22-69 mark against Atlantic 10 competition and a 60-97 record overall. “In consultation with President Ken Gormley, we have decided to make a … Continue reading Ferry era ends in firing
By Andrew Holman | Sports Editor 39 minutes, 58.4 seconds. That is the exact amount of time in which Duquesne was tied or in front. 1.6 seconds. That is all the time that the Saint Louis Billikens needed to deliver a 72-71 blow to the jaw upon their opposition, and to advance to the second round of the Atlantic 10 Men’s Basketball Championship at PPG … Continue reading Inability to finish games costs Duquesne its season
