Duquesne fell short on Wednesday night against No. 7 Dayton, losing 73-69 at PPG Paints Arena.
The Dukes play a compelling game, rallying from 19- and 11-point deficits in the second half to trail, 71-69, in the final 34 seconds.
“I’m never going to be happy when fans are happy with a loss at home,” Dukes head coach Keith Dambrot said. “In order for us to take the next step, we can’t lose to Dayton at home. I don’t care if they’re No. 7 in the country.”
