my family tree has 6 Duquesne grads including my wife and one of our sons.

After years of being widely recognized as the worst coaching job in the A10, Keith Dambrot, the son of a DU basketball player from the 50s, took on the job that had resulted in the last 7 coaches being fired. He said he took the job because he was tired of his Dad complaining about how bad Duquesne had become.

Duquesne plays tough D with a deep bench. Their offense is a bit helter skelter, so they can be very streaky. Their roster has 8 seniors, grad students, or grad transfers, so this was probably the best shot they are going to have for a while.

With ND in the infancy of rebuild, it's been fun to have another team to follow.
