A10 Tourney 2024

[PreecherJenkins]

^100% Despite the loss this team made the season very enjoyable!

All 4 of yesterday’s games were upsets. So it goes….

I’m setting the bar high for next season….love to see them leave the A-10 as regular season AND tournament champs!

*** upsets by seed, VCU was the favored against the minutes.

Watching it now. Fun game.

Akron gets gifted two free throws to win the game and the MAC title. Does this ending look familiar?

The atmosphere in Cleveland looked great.

Back to the A10, going to route for the Dukes, they never made it in the entire time in the A10, 48 years minus the small detour. Their coach also came from the MAC.

Wow, that poor kid. This is why they call it March Madness...

Insane how Duquesne has gone cold …shooting, balls bouncing off them, etc.

I’ll be amazed if they can hold on to win.

Edit: The Dukes held on, but what a brutal 2nd half.

Abracadabra…..Duquesne is the A10 Champs!!

Congrats to OG A10 member Duquesne on getting it done.

Keith Dambrot gets it done in the final year of his 7 year contract.

Someone on their board had a great story about when they won it in '77. Worth a read. Involves Jack Leaman.

Guess it's not going to let me link directly to the post so here it is.

When the Dukes went to their last NCAA tourney by winning the Eastern Eight in 1976-77, I was there along with my two brothers as a 12 year old. There was no other Duquesne fans in the building (the Spectrum in Philadelpha) that first game when we beat Penn State 66-54 in the opening round. If they were they didn't clap. We rooted hard like we always did. Jack Lehman the coach of UMass actually sat next to us and introduced himself after the Penn State game. He commented how neat it was for us to be there rooting for Duquesne on a Wednesday afternoon and was interested in why we thought Duquesne had a chance to win the tourney. My two brothers and I said "Norm Nixon" all in sync. He was a real nice guy. The Dukes beat Lehman's UMass team the next night 89-82. Umass was a pretty heavy favorite and Lehman looked bewildered throughout. There were maybe a couple dozen more Duquesne fans that night along with Villanova fans rooting for the Dukes. The third night and the final against Villanova there were a couple busloads of Duquesne fans, the band, along with a couple hundred locals probably when the Dukes pulled the upset against Nova. Even the Villanove fans didn't show up thinking they would win that game easily. The overall attendance in the final game was under 4,000. I think that's when they moved it to the Civic Arena the next year. I was there for a few of the Piscataway NJ A-10 tourneys, but Everhart's run in 2009 in Atlantic City was electric. I was there for all of those games.

sounds like many, like me, rooted for the Dukes. VCU and Dayton have great programs, but I'm tired of them. Also, Keith Dambrot is a coach I like. The A10 has almost uniformly excellent coaches, but too many complainers. Some of these guys have coached for 20 years and in their minds (based on what they say) their teams have never committed a foul. Dambrot, like Frank Martin, scores high in the honesty rankings. In the rare cases when they complain to officials, they're usually right.

Wow good for Duquesne

I don’t think anyone had them winning it

I’m gonna miss the A10, most under appreciated conference

8th different champion in the last 8 A10 Tournaments!
