Need to strike while the iron’s hot. My in-laws always say that if Duquesne ever got back to national prominence, they’d be a perfect fit for the Big East:
- Strong institutional fit with the rest of the conference (Catholic university in a relatively large northeastern market, basketball school)
- At least some historical relevance
- PPG could hold big games, similar to what St. John’s and Villanova does
I could envision a scenario where Duquesne strings together a few tournament appearances and, say, UConn helps the ACC backfill in the upcoming realignment. I’d have to think the Dukes would be a top candidate along VCU, no?
