UC IRVINE ranked 61 by Ken pom, Dukes at 81,this would be a signature win,a real confidence builder going
down to Marshall on the road the next week. The loss to Nebraska is done and our fans need to show the team
we are Duquesne Strong.I looked at seating chart and plenty of seats available..Need to fill lower bowl,please.

Will be there. I used to live in SC near UC Irvine. The Anteaters. We should have a home court advantage. Big time zone difference and  coast to coast travel takes it's toll. Plus the Dukes have had a few days off, so here's hoping for a nice win.

Stew thank you for traveling from Columbus for non-conference Dukes games. We need everybody's red and blue passion to overflow the Coop!!!

Any chance Williams is back?   Thought I heard a 2 week timetable on him.

That would be good news. Tre can help in Conf play.

Looked at UCIs stats,good size,a team that shoots the ball well,rebounds well and plays good defense.This might be the best team Dukes will play this season.

If you went to the tip off event, one of the things that was said was that for the Dukes to get to the NCAA, the out of conference schedule has to be competitive.  Gone are the cupcake days which did nothing but give false hope.  However, if we don't win some of the "tougher" games then we know objectively where we stand.
