Duquesne

Duquesne was one of the feel-good stories last season. It has been decades since they have had any basketball success. They had brought in a new coach, Ron Everhart, who seemed to have things going the right direction. Then, a couple of years ago, they had the tragic shooting incident on their campus in which several of their players were wounded, including some high-touted newcomers. They won 21 games this season, which was a huge accomplishment. Just like Drake season before last, this was one of the major turnaround stories in college basketball. They should return four starters next season, so keep an eye on them.
