When’s the game scheduled for this year? Duquesne has no room to whine about Pitt until that game is on the schedule.
Let me get on the horn to Dave Harper and ask him...? KD said on the fan they would play this year and had those players as to why they hadn’t played in his tenure. If he’s lying he deserves the exact same criticism Pitt deserves for lying to Duquesne.
This topic was dead until someone tried to shift blame to the donors. It’s an excuse only a SIMP would believe. Donors cannot and should not be dictating any scheduling and there is absolutely no way they are.
I can’t believe I’m saying this... it IS a good idea. And one that the NCAA specifically should’ve looked at with concerns of Covid to limit travel and expenses. But the NCAA sucks. Would’ve been awesome to have tournies like these across the country.
It’s a lame excuse, though. Capel certainly didn’t have a problem with playing Duke even though half of Duke’s roster over the past two years were guys he recruited and coached. He didn’t have a choice in the matter, of course, but it’s a lame excuse by Dambrot.
Lol duquesne was the highest rated team in Pittsburgh last year. They would’ve most likely waxed RMU. As Pitt would’ve most likely waxed Duquesne. That’s why many like myself want to see all 3 play.
They played all 4 2 years ago coming off A national championship including 2 on the road. You’re right, last year they only played 3 city games... not 4. How embarrassing that we won’t play 1.
At the end of the day, though, Dambrot saying “I can’t play RMU because two of my old players from Akron transferred there” is just as much of an excuse as Capel saying that “I can’t play Duquesne because it doesn’t fit into our scheduling model.”
How is saving your program 100k and playing Duquesne instead of East Texas State an excuse? It’s obviously a lie on some level that there’s either a personal dislike of Dambrot because of his past or he doesn’t want to play them because he thinks they might lose. I’d say under normal circumstances it’s not his job to think about the $ aspect but during a pandemic seems pretty stupid and reckless.
He’s bored and trying to make some news to report
Pitt will play at least 6 or 7 inferior basketball teams this year and every year. This excuse is a non starter. That being said all this whining from the media is overboard. Back in the 60s when Duquesne was considered the superior program they went 13 years refusing to schedule Pitt. They only met by chance if they were paired in the Steel Bowl. So this 2 year hiatus is no big deal.
Oh Pitt is damned if they do and damned if they don't in this town so be it. St penn doesn't want to schedule Pitt in football and we don't want to schedule Duquesne in hoops so what? Next..... onward
Its amusing to see so called Pitt fans continuing to post shame on Pitt posts too on a Pitt message board.

Totally took it wrong and spun it to your liking etc. Actually I never invited you in this conversation. I'm not on here to keep bashing and I've complained about the football program several times. Get lost Suzie Q
No wonder several posters don't like to post since they get called out by the cool kids club. Prick, keep hiding behind a keyboard. Loved actually meeting posters in person at the hoops games. Totally totally different when chatting in person.
Not going to piss with a skunk also bballinsider too. I'm sure you have season tickets for all the hoops games. Have a great evening
Lol. So your assumption is Pitt is scared to play this year? Duquesne is always gonna wanna play Pitt, they have nothing to lose.
Never said that Peter Parker just a statement. Its wonderful to see the same posters up each others asses. Kinda funny, water seeks it's own levels.
