Re: Week #12 - Games of Interest

If I were a Duquesne fan I would be livid with their OOC schedule. A better slate could have put them in position for an at-large bid. Instead, they pretty much have to win the regular season title to even be considered.

After the Brown loss they were staring three tough games in the face to open A-10 play. I thought they needed to win 2 of 3 to get back on track. They did just that. Now need to take care of business in the next two before another tough four-game stretch.

Limit turnovers and play 40 minutes of aggressive half court defense and we will be in the game. Failure at either of those two will result in a double digit loss.
