Keith Dambrot leads Duquesne into final six games of `draining’ seasonVideo

After the game has been over for hours and the janitor has swept up the last bit of spilled popcorn from the bleachers, one light stays lit inside Palumbo Center. After losses, anyway. Keith Dambrot is still at work in his office, trying to figure out what went wrong, guarding...

Keith Dambrot hopes defense will carry Dukes through tough stretchVideo

Keith Dambrot doesn’t get upset when his team has trouble making shots. He just orders more shooting drills in practice. But Duquesne’s coach has no patience for shoddy defense. There’s no drill for that. Plus, he believes defense is what will keep the Dukes (16-8, 7-4) competitive through the rest...

Banged-up Duquesne trying to stay in thick of Atlantic 10 race

Dukes creeping toward 1st place, but tough games on the horizon

Nearly halfway into the Atlantic 10 season, Duquesne finds itself among four teams bunched at the top of the standings, all separated by no more than a game. If coach Keith Dambrot had time to look (unlikely), he might have shrugged his shoulders and resumed preparations for Saturday’s game at...
Hampton connection helps Duquesne swimmers to success

Call it a happy coincidence Duquesne swimming boasts three Hampton graduates. The Dukes swim team sure does.

Duquesne rallies from 19 down to beat Rhode Island, 75-72

After Keith Dambrot was finished trying to explain Duquesne’s hard-to-believe 75-72 victory against Rhode Island, he knew what he had to do next. “I’m going to go take a nap now,” the Dukes coach said. He was tired, pleased and amazed all at the same time. Duquesne (15-6, 6-2 Atlantic...
Duquesne aiming for quick turnaround vs. Rhode IslandVideo

There are too many games left in Duquesne’s season to say the Dukes will reach a crossroads Wednesday night against Rhode Island at Palumbo Center. But the Dukes (14-6, 5-2) have the same record (overall and in the Atlantic 10) as they did a year ago before they lost 10...
Short-handed Duquesne falls to VCU, 5-game winning streak snapped

Overstating the importance of Sincere Carry’s absence from the Duquesne men’s basketball team Saturday at Palumbo Center would be difficult. Dukes coach Keith Dambrot beat everyone to the punch following the Dukes’ 80-74 loss to VCU. Dambrot made sure to put a qualifier in front of the comparison to avoid...

Dukes coach Keith Dambrot: Nobody ‘respects Duquesne yet’

Duquesne coach Keith Dambrot thinks he knows what the rest of the Atlantic 10 thinks of his team. And it doesn’t have a lot to do with the Dukes’ record (14-5, 5-1). “I don’t think anybody respects Duquesne yet,” he said. “They just think we played some home games (11-1...
Keith Dambrot calls it: ‘LeBron’s better than Zion’

After he had answered all the mundane questions about Duquesne’s 77-73 victory against Saint Louis on Wednesday night, coach Keith Dambrot fielded one on his second-favorite subject — LeBron James. “What would be a bigger deal?” a reporter wanted to know. “Jay-Z going to a Pitt game or LeBron going...
Duquesne beats 1st-place Saint Louis, extends A-10 winning streak to 5

The coaches and media of the Atlantic 10 conducted their preseason poll back in September, when few people were giving Duquesne a second thought.
