Here's a tip if you are playing Xavier: press on defense. The Musketeers just do not handle pressure defense real well. Not with only one true point guard on the roster. The Duquesne Dukes like to press on defense, and it completely frustrated Xavier for almost 30 minutes. By the time Xavier solved the problem and made their run, they did not have enough time. Xavier went down, 72-68.Except for the first few minutes, Duquesne led the entire game. They held a 15-point halftime lead and just attacked Xavier on offense the entire first half. In the second half they seemed to slow the game down on offense, but that was also Xavier doing a better job of denying the penetration and drives to the basket. Even so, the Dukes had a great shooting night that the Musketeers could not match.
At the end of the game, a rather long suffering Dukes student section stormed the court. To which, we at FanHouse do not have a problem. Duquesne had not beaten a ranked opponent since January 1997 -- when they beat Xavier. They had not beaten a top-10 team since knocking off Florida State in 1992. It had been quite a while since the Dukes have had any reason to celebrate.
The crowd at the Palumbo Center definitely helped Duquesne. It was their first sellout in over two years, and their first sellout that did not involve playing crosstown foe Pitt since 1994. It had to be a little more painful for Xavier coach Sean Miller, a Pittsburgh native and former star at Pitt. It was his third loss to Duquesne as a player or a coach.
