No, it’s not the circus. Acrobatics and tumbling, a mashup of gymnastics and cheer, is booming

PITTSBURGH — Abby McDermott has grown accustomed to the looks she gets whenever she starts talking to someone about her chosen sport. The slight turn of the head. The brief pause in the conversation. “When you say ‘acrobatics and tumbling,’ especially ‘acrobatics,’ people think of the circus,” McDermott said with...
Duquesne drops Fordham at home to stay in A-10 race

David Dixon raised the roof multiple times Wednesday night at UPMC Cooper Fieldhouse to the delight of a home Duquesne basketball crowd energized by the sounds of the Mt.

After Duquesne football turns back the clock and plays Pitt for the first time since 1939 on Aug. 30, the Dukes will confront a second FBS opponent when they travel to Akron of the Mid-American Conference on Sept. 20. The Dukes and Zips never have met. The game against Pitt...
Tre Dinkins’ 21 points not enough as Duquesne loses to Dayton

This time, Duquesne came to play. Too bad for the Dukes that they came up just short. Three weeks after taking a 20-point beating from Dayton at home, Duquesne went into arguably the hardest venue in the Atlantic 10 and nearly came away Saturday with a victory. But a loss...
After last month’s blowout loss to Dayton, Duquesne is taking rematch ‘personally’

Duquesne’s last game against Dayton knocked the Dukes men’s basketball team off track. The Dukes (10-14, 5-6 Atlantic 10) see Saturday’s rematch as an opportunity to finally stay on track. “They beat us so bad at home the last time, I am taking that personally,” forward Jakub Necas said Thursday...
Scoring leader Dinkins, Duquesne prepare for final stretch of A-10 schedule

The way Duquesne’s Tre Dinkins III sees it, basketball is a pretty simple game. At any level. The 6-foot-2 guard from Chester seems to have played the game with ease everywhere he’s been. He was an all-Philadelphia Catholic League second-team player at Cardinal O’Hara. He was an NJCAA All-America third-team...
Duquesne grinds out victory over Loyola Chicago to end 5-game skid

A 13-point victory? With the way Duquesne’s offense was broken, how did that happen? The Dukes went scoreless for nearly 7 1/2 minutes to open the second half Saturday, missing their first 11 shots along the way, yet they recovered on the strength of their defense and beat Loyola Chicago,...
Robert Morris looks to follow path of fellow mid-major Duquesne to NCAA Tournament

Remember last season? Who could forget when Duquesne won the Atlantic 10 Tournament in men’s basketball and surged to its first NCAA Tournament in something like a million years? Remember that? It had been 47 seasons — the year was 1977, to be exact — since the Dukes made The...

Duquesne falls short at home against Massachusetts

He’d counted on his teams’ ability to hold down opponents in the Big 12 at Kansas State and in the SEC at South Carolina, but even here in the Atlantic 10, Massachusetts coach Frank Martin tends to get defensive. Just ask Duquesne, which was held to a season-low in scoring...
Visit with LeBron James doesn’t rub off on Duquesne men, who lose 3rd straightVideo

One night after his team joined pal LeBron James in the Los Angeles Lakers locker room in Philadelphia, Duquesne coach Dru Joyce III was hoping his Dukes would glean some inspiration from the NBA superstar’s presence. But much like the Lakers’ 118-104 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers — despite James’...
Fordham knocks off Duquesne on go-ahead 3-pointerVideo

Duquesne’s latest visit to Fordham’s historic Rose Hill Gymnasium in New York on Sunday left the Dukes in a bitter mood for their return trip to Pittsburgh. Again. Josh Rivera’s 3-point shot with 24 seconds left erased a 1-point deficit and gave Fordham a 65-63 victory, the Rams’ first in...
Duquesne resets after big loss to Dayton

The question seemed simple enough for David Dixon, one-third of Duquesne’s primary rim patrollers: “Does a result like that last game make you realize that maybe there was some complacency setting in?” His answer, too, referring to the Dukes’ state of mind following their shocking 82-62 loss to Dayton on...
Decision on medical redshirt looms for Duquesne guard Jake DiMichele

Jake DiMichele’s unwavering faith in God has carried him through the challenges of a tough childhood while growing up in the gritty Pittsburgh suburb of McKees Rocks. It’s helped him during a championship-caliber high school experience in the classroom and on the basketball court at nearby Our Lady of the...
Duquesne’s coach, players see no need for Dayton loss to start any trends

After Duquesne’s 82-62 loss to Dayton on Tuesday night, coach Dru Joyce III was asked if he was going to have his players study the tape or if he was going to just “burn” it. “You can burn it. You can take a look at it. We’ll see,” Joyce said....
