Duquesne is off to a strong start this season, and now it's time to find out how the Dukes stack up against the teams that matter most.
The Dukes tipped off Atlantic 10 play with the biggest challenge right off the bat, going on the road to take on league favorite Dayton.
Duquesne stayed within striking distance throughout but never could quite mount a big enough challenge to scare the Flyers. Dayton never trailed and kept the Dukes at bay in the second half of a 69-57 win at UD Arena.
Jimmy Clark III led Duquesne (10-4, 0-1 A10) with 15 points.
