Duquesne Dukes Fan Forum / Predictions, final Dukes record after 6 games played

At this point I see at a min. 24-7 My up side 26 - 5. I see some home jobs on the road, and a strong home court winning streak this season, based on what this team has done so far. I see a 3rd or 4rth place going into the A-10. I would be surprised if better, but kind-of disappointed for anything less.

22-10
That is with one win in the A-10 tournament.

I think, at best, we are 22-8 heading in to the A-10 tourney. We just need to take care of business at home in the a-10 and steal a few on the road. I want to see a tourney run for a change.

Saw a bracket prediction already. Dayton was a 12. Nebraska a 10 and Princeton a 9 seed.

I saw that DU went up 12 or 13 after beating UCI on one. Plus UCI went down by that amount. I guess winning makes all the difference. Keep winning.

Dayton is always strong. Neb. is on a good year and Princeton is a very well run program. I wish we beat Princeton, but just a basket short.

The win against UC Irvine didn't help the Dukes as much as you think. Here's the current and previous rankings:
KenPom: Dukes go from 81 to 79; UCI went from 63 to 65
Torvik: Dukes go from 60-57; UCI went from 72-71
Haslam: Dukes go from 95-85; UCI goes from 86-76
NET (unofficial): Dukes go from 130 to 137; UCI goes from 96 to 102

The UCI win was a good win. Unfortunately, the wins against Clev St and C of C have been devalued due to some losses these teams have taken. As a side note, in KenPom Nebraska is #43 and Princeton #49.

I saw it on CBS RPI but it's changed a bit to DU 57 and UCI 69 . Also, great stats. DU is in the hunt, so it's a great season to be a fan. Thanks.
