Projected seed: 12 (automatic qualifier)

Duquesne is one solid group this season – showcasing a team that has excelled defensively, a trait that could cause headaches for opponents in March. Despite some offensive struggles, their defense has kept them in games and led to some quality wins, including victories over Charleston and VCU. Significantly, getting the best of Dayton in conference play underlines their potential to upset. However, there are blemishes on the record like the loss to Princeton and the struggle against Chicago State that can’t be ignored. Their work at the free-throw line and from beyond the arc could be the difference between a first-round upset or an also-ran memory. If this team gets hot at the right time, watch out for a potential Cinderella story to unfold.
