Adam Lindner | Sports Editor 04/26/2018 On Feb. 22, 2017, before a home contest versus conference foe Fordham, Duquesne retired No. 13 in honor of men’s basketball great Mike James, who scored 1,411 points in 111 games as a Duquesne Duke from 1994-1998. James’ 1,411 point total is good for 10th all-time at Duquesne, and […]
Jacob Hebda | Staff Writer 04/19/2018 The Penguins opened their 2018 postseason in the most Penguins-way possible: With an offensive barrage. Pittsburgh rolled rival Philadelphia Flyers on April 11, producing a 7-0 final score more evocative of a low-scoring football game than a playoff hockey match. During the wild night at PPG Paints Arena, Sidney […]
Adam Lindner | Sports Editor 04/05/2018 I was perusing The Buffalo News’ sports page one morning this past weekend when I unexpectedly came upon a brief Atlantic 10 baseball update, detailing how nearby St. Bonaventure’s program was faring. The Bonnies began A-10 play 0-4, but then beat Massachusetts in back-to-back games to salvage their series […]
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 […]
David Borne | Staff Writer 03/01/2018 With baseball season right around the corner, it’s time to address something. Something that the average Pittsburgh sports fan may consider a “hot take.” The Pittsburgh Pirates won’t be that bad. They are even going to compete for one of the National League’s two Wild Card positions. Any idea […]
Adam Lindner | Sports Editor 02/08/2018 Ever since LeBron James left Miami in free agency to go back to Cleveland in 2014, one thing in the NBA has been certain: The Cleveland Cavaliers were going to represent the NBA’s Eastern Conference in the Finals. During LeBron’s first few seasons back in Cleveland, the Cavaliers’ most […]
Jacob Hebda | Staff Writer 02/08/2018 Feb. 2, the day before Duquesne’s home matchup with St. Bonaventure’s, men’s basketball head coach Keith Dambrot told reporters that he was expecting “a big crowd” for the Annual Red Out Game. Well, he got just that. 3,411 fans, a season high, watched Duquesne fall just short against the […]
Adam Lindner | Sports Editor 02/01/2018 When Blake Griffin became an unrestricted free agent this past summer, Los Angeles Clippers executives gave Griffin an extravagant display in an effort to re-sign him. Griffin was shown a mock No. 32 jersey retirement ceremony in an empty Staples Center one summer night, alongside a “Blake Griffin Museum.” […]
Adam Lindner | Sports Editor 01/18/2018 It’s kind of funny: The last game that I attended at PNC Park was on Aug. 17, 2017, when the Pirates fell to the St. Louis Cardinals on a showery summer evening, 11-7. Many days after that, I fought the urge — albeit, a small one — to go […]
Adam Lindner | Sports Editor 01/18/2018 Following a flooring 45-42 defeat at the hands of the Jacksonville Jaguars on Jan. 14 in the A.F.C. Divisional Round at Heinz Field, mercurial offensive coordinator Todd Haley was informed on Jan. 17 that his expiring contract would not be renewed. Hours later, multiple insiders reported that the Steelers […]
