The Duquesne Dukes clinched their first NCAA Tournament berth in 47 years with a thrilling 57-51 victory over VCU in the Atlantic 10 championship game on Sunday. The Dukes led by as many as 14 points in the first half but had to hold off a determined VCU comeback attempt in the second half to secure the win and the automatic NCAA Tournament bid. This victory marks a historic moment for Duquesne basketball and sends them to March Madness for the first time since 1977.
