Why? - Because they sub the whole team in and the whole team out, and they press, press, press, and run, run, run.
Duquesne Basketball is quickly becoming the “story” in Pittsburgh this winter. Well to be honest it seemed like everyone in the local media forgot to cover the Dukes, when the season started. If you remember not too long ago I had Duke’s play-by-play Ray Gross on RSW, and it really seemed like Dukes where hoping to make the A10 tournament. Meaning the Dukes who at the beginning of year were only dressing 7 guys where hoping they could finish above the top 3 in the league above the bottom two to go to Atlantic City. However the Dukes, will be going to Atlantic City, you can bet on that, they are now 5-4 in the conference and looking for their fifth win a row. I was at the Xavier game were the crowd of 2,700+ was their largest in years, but on even half of the 6,200 seats in the Palumbo center. Basketball fans up until now have been missing something very special, the Dukes who now field 10 guys, play all 10 guys, and sub 5 five guys in and 5 guys out. They press the whole game, and frequently scored over 100 points a game. It’s like night and day comparing them to the cross-town Pit Panthers. I’m guessing when A10 leaders Rhode Island comes to town this weekend, a few more people might be enjoy their pace of play.
