Dukes play the winner of LaSalle vs R.I. on Wed. Good match-up. Then Fordham on Thurs.  Third times a charm.

Fordham lost to GM, Richmond, and R.I. And a sweep by Davidson this year, so there might be some good game-film for the coaches to develop a game plan and player match-ups from those games.

Look at the entire A-10 tourney bracelets. You can easily see a favorable line to the A-10 championship for the Dukes. All teams in the entire brackets have lost to one or two of their potential opponents? This is how a 6th seated team can win. Tomorrow, start rooting for the best miss-matches for our potential opponents. There are a bunch of them. Too much fun tomorrow.

I think its 6 conference winners failed to win their conference tourns, so the NIT bids are being swallowed up and its only Tuesday morning.   CBI would be our only hope unless we make finals(probably have to win it all), and if Detroit Mercy gets in, and take a legit team's bid(maybe us), I would be pissed, just so that kid can break Pistol Pete's record,.   Dont let him break that record.

Oh, I know, just looking globally at NIT and CBI and whats going on currently that impacts those.   

10 signs the “regular season” was better than previous years…

10.  There were lines at the concession stand
9.    It took longer to find a parking space in the parking garage
8,    It took longer to get out of the parking Garage
7.    Dambrot was interviewed on local sports stations
6.    There were actually a few articles in the Post-Gazette on Duquesne Basketball
5.    No sportscaster used the words “irrelevant” and Duquesne Basketball in the same sentence this year
4.    Friends actually asked me how the Dukes were doing
3.    The overall attendance increased
2.    I didn’t have to beg anyone to go to the game with me
And the number one reason is the Dukes won 20 Games!!!

LaSalle up 15 at the half.

Dukes face LaSalle Wed.

I don't think Duquesne would look past anyone.  These tournaments don't get me upset...even if they go one and done.  My belief is if they win, they are good enough and if they lose, they didn't deserve it.

Go Dukes.

Mason outlasts the Spiders. As good as Richmond looked...any team, any day. 
Go Dukes!
