As per its tradition since the John E. Glaser Arena, La Salle fans remain standing until its Explorers make a basket, something which the Duquesne Men’s Basketball Team ensured took until nearly the first media timeout.
Duquesne Men’s Basketball guard Tre Dinkins III fouled to head into a first half media timeout and after the break coach Dru Joyce III had him take the first seat on the bench, traditionally occupied by assistant Steve Wright.
With only four seconds remaining on the shot clock late in the game, Duquesne was looking to put away Delaware. The Dukes battled through a seven-point deficit against the Blue Hens early on, and in the second half, had taken control of the game with stout defense and timely scoring.
