Jim Ferry’s Duquesne Dukes will look to improve off a 13-17 (5-11 Atlantic 10) season last year and now we get a look at the entire schedule the Dukes will have to get through in order to make a return trip to the postseason.
The Duquesne schedule is highlighted by a minimum of five televised conference games, beginning with Dayton, who made a run to the Elite 8 a season ago.
The Atlantic 10 has quietly become one of the more competitive conferences in the nation and good for Duquesne that they play host to six of the seven A-10 teams that made postseason appearances last year.
The A-10 will play its first 18-game regular season schedule since 1991 with the 14 member schools will facing each other once and five schools twice during the season.
Duquesne’s home-and-home opponents are Davidson, Dayton, George Washington, St. Bonaventure and Saint Louis.
The Dukes non-conference schedule is highlighted by the City Game against Pitt, to be played December 5 at the CONSOL Energy Center. Duquesne kicks off the regular season November 15 at home against Bluefield State.
Here’s a look at the entire Duquesne men’s basketball schedule.
