Don't look now but they will be good over the next several years if Dambrot can hold it all together. They have a number of solid pieces and they play mostly Fr and Soph's this year. Thankfully, UD will improve next year too but I can see them getting to the dance either next year or the year after. That will be good for the A10.

It will be interesting to see how the Duquesne program develops under Dambrot. They are young and having success as noted. But for all that youth they sure run their mouths ALOT. And not just at the officials (way too much), and opponents, but also to their own coaches.
I listened to Larry/Keith live Saturday night w/out the video. OMG Ben Braun is friggin' clueless. I realize he probably doubles as the local Duquesne "analyst" although I have no proof of that. His admitting at the very beginning of the game that Dambrot was on his staff at Easter Michigan (I think) immediately told me the perspective he would bring to the telecast. And to not once, but twice say that it was "almost" a 2-posesssion game (7 pt difference)...who would hire this guy?
