Duquesne Basketball
Twitter Reaction to Duquesne MBB’s March Madness Win
Duquesne men’s basketball has won a game in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1969.
The Dukes knocked off BYU, 71-67, in the first round of the 2024 NCAA Tournament and will advance to take on the winner of Illinois and Morehead State this weekend. The incredible run for Keith Dambrot and the Dukes continues, and the Duquesne fans are making their pride known on social media.

Duquesne wins! Hope that the Dukes are this year’s St Mary’s.
Also the A10 takes down the all powerful B12 which is nice.

March always delivers.
But it’s been a while since it delivered in the guise of the @DuqMBB Dukes.
What a run!— Michael DeCourcy (@tsnmike) March 21, 2024
Duquesne just beat up a team from the Big 12. How is that possible? That conference was so good we were told they needed 11 or 12 bids!!! pic.twitter.com/5LUmLpGUcJ

MARCH IS HERE! THE DUQUESNE DUKES BEAT BYU! KEITH DAMBROT’S CAREER LIVES ON ANOTHER DAY!
Dae Dae Grant was stone cold at the foul line, and Jimmy Clark made winnings plays down the stretch. The miraculous run for the Dukes lives on.

Duquesne, located in the shadow of the PPG Arena, defeated BYU, 71-65, in Omaha. Fans at Pittsburgh sub-regional got to watch the Iron Dukes on look at on big screen video while Creighton-Akron was going on, cheering loudly anytime local favorites made a big play down stretch.

An 11 seed from Pittsburgh has won an NCAA Tournament game in back-to-back seasons:
2023: No. 11 #Pitt 59-41 over No. 6 Iowa State
2024: No. 11 #Duquesne 71-67 over BYU— Austin Bechtold (@AustinRBechtold) March 21, 2024
Duquesne over BYU is what the NCAA Tournament expansion people want to take away.
Dukes were a bid thief, then they beat a Power conference team.

Duquesne was the LEAST-PICKED 11-seed this year 😱 #MarchMadness pic.twitter.com/ZHHfXBGHmO

Keith Dambrot is too good of a coach to have walked away without winning a Tournament game
— 3 Bid League (@3BidLeaguePod) March 21, 2024
Keith Dambrot is going out IN STYLE.
Duquesne coach Keith Dambrot is retiring and just got the first NCAA tourney win of his career.
No. 11 Dukes just beat No. 6 BYU. Limited the Cougars to just 8 3’s.

Kudos to Duquesne's sports info staff today. Jim Duzyk, Jacob Davey and Trey Staunch are running the show here at PPG Paints Arena, helping coordinate for 8 teams, all the while keeping up with the Dukes halfway across the country, who just advanced for 1st time in 55 years.
