Why Duquesne can cover
Coming off an 11-point loss to South Dakota State in the first round and then a four-point loss to Hampton in the consolation side of the bracket, Duquesne has lost six in a row to start the season. However, the Dukes went on a magical run to win the Atlantic 10 tournament last year and also upset BYU in the 2024 NCAA Tournament.
With Dru Joyce taking over as head coach after Keith Dambrot retired, the transition has been a struggle, but Duquesne only has one loss of more than 11 points so far this season and that was against an undefeated DePaul squad. See who to back at SportsLine.
