Unlike last season, there hasn't been much buzz about Duquesne and the NCAA Tournament this year. But the Dukes are still holding their own in the Atlantic 10 conference, despite a 78-59 loss against conference-leading Temple on Saturday. As we head down the stretch in the regular season, here's a look at the A-10 standings.
Temple 10-2 21-5
Saint Louis 10-3 22-5
Xavier 8-4 7-9
Saint Joseph's 8-5 18-10
Massachusetts 7-5 18-8
La Salle 7-5 18-9
St. Bonaventure 7-5 14-10
Dayton 6-6 16-10
Duquesne 6-6 15-11
Richmond 5-8 14-14
Charlotte 4-8 12-13
George Washington 4-8 9-17
Fordham 2-10 9-16
Rhode Island 2-11 5-23
Duquesne has four games remaining -- the Dukes take on Dayton on Wednesday and George Washington on Saturday, then Charlotte and Saint Louis the following week. Saint Louis beat Duquesne 68-41 in late January, and there's little reason to think that won't happen again, but the other three games are winnable. If they can take three out of four, the Dukes will wind up with a nifty seed in the A-10 Tournament. We'll be keeping tabs on Duquesne this week and next.
