THE TURNING POINT

The Dukes exploded after halftime after trailing 10-3. They scored 14 points in both the third and fourth quarter to gain control of the game.

THE SKINNY

Not many gave Duquesne a chance in this game. But the Dukes represented the Northeast Conference in a big way and knocked off Towson, who was at one point eyeing a seed out of the CAA. They adjusted to the rainy weather better than Towson's high-flying offense. AJ Hines showed just how special of a running back he is with another big performance. This team is for real and showed it today.

PREVIEW OF NEXT WEEK

Now it's on to No. 5 seed South Dakota State, who some actually believe is the second-best team in the country. Once again, the Dukes won't be a popular pick to win. But that's a role they seem to love playing. SDSU's run defense has been up-and-down this season. And the weather may not be all too nice in Brookings, which might favor Duquesne again like it did today.
