According to Massey, the Dukes are a 7.5 points-underdog.

Go Dukes! For all of the talk that Duquesne is a coaching graveyard blah blah blah, Suzie built a strong program and Dan Burt took it next level. Dukes ahead, 27-26, at the half. Lots of 3-point shots taken by both teams. Dukes 3-pt. shooting - 6 for 11 (55%); Drexel - 4 for 16 (25%). Dukes should be out-rebounding this team; however, the Dukes trail, 19-20 and are being beaten on the offensive glass, 4-8. Dukes need to use its height advantage much better that what I saw in the 1st half to put the Dragons back in their cave. Last edited by godukes1970 (3/17/2017 7:03 pm) Drexel blew the doors off of the dukes in the third quarter. Oh well, let's see if we can take a step back up the ladder next season. Dukes got out-played in the 3rd and 4th Qs. Coach Dan got 2 technical fouls in the 4th and was asked to leave the court. A very disappointing way to end the season with a 70-47 loss.

Re: Dukes @ Drexel Dragons in 1st Round of WNIT
It will likely be a very tough game for the Dukes. While none of the Dragon's starters are above 6' 0", they all are very good shooters of FGs, 3-pointers, & free throws -- better than the Dukes in all three categories. It will be like playing 5 guards. Duquesne will have to get the ball to 6' 3" Szamosi and 6' 3" Lass early on and hope Drexel fouls a lot. Because of the height advantage, the Dukes should have a decided rebounding advantage. Drexel is 1-4 in its last 5 games vs. the Dukes' record of 4-1. •

Re: Dukes @ Drexel Dragons in 1st Round of WNIT
The taller Dukes were outrebounded by Drexel 44 to 30, including a similar Duquesne deficiency in offensive rebounds, 15-8. Unfortunately Kadri-Ann Lass failed to play with the level of improvement that we saw during the A-10 tournament: 0-4 FGs; 2 pts.;1rb; 1assist;1TO; and 1Blk in 21 minutes.
The only players that played at a level reflective of their seasons' work were Chassidy Omogrosso and Amadea Szamosi. Chassidy's stats: 6-13 FGs; 3-8 3-Pt.; 3-4 FT; 18 pts.; 1 rb.; 1 ast.; 0 TOs; 2 Stls. in 40 minutes.
Amadea's stats: 5-8 FGs; 1-2 3-Pt.; 2-4 FT; 13 pts.; 11 rb.; 0 ast.; 3 TOs; and 1 Stl. in 33 minutes. •
