Players from the very first varsity team in 1969 to last year's grads
will be present. Current count is 100 players and family.
Come on out and watch our Dukes smoke ODUH for a third time this
season and see many of your former favorite players.

I was really surprised that there was no public announcement sometime during the game at halftime or between quarters recognizing our former JMU BB players. I think this was a big missed opportunity when we had so many former players in the house.

Thanks to all former Dukes who have represented JMU on the court over the years!

Go Dukes!

I was quite surprised as well. We had a heck of a turnout. Got to go to the 11 am shoot around and then got a tour of the inner workings of the AUBC. After the game we met at O'Neill's for a get together. It was a huge missed opportunity to not have the players out on the court to wave to the crowd. I know that the fans would have loved seeing all the old guys.

I had provided a list of those attending to the tv announcers for some PR at the Thursday game. The thing is, I don't know if this was a basketball generated thing or if Ryan Culicerto did this on his own? Either way, the basketball program knew about it and did miss an opportunity. Maybe next time.

Glad all the guys at least got to go to the shoot around & get a tour & then also celebrate at O'Neill's together! But agree on the huge missed opportunity to public recognize you all at the game. Maybe next year. BSKB24, you were sitting a few rows behind me to my right and I recognized a few of the former players who were sitting in that general area. GO DUKES!
