They lost a lot from the team that the Huskies beat in the NCAAs in March of 16. Took their lumps last year as they rebuilt, and are now back on the rise. They're probably a year away from having a shot to return to the rankings, but they have a chance to make the tournament if they can finish in the top 2-3 of the A10. A little trivia, the Dukes were the only team to hold a lead at any point over UConn during their run to the 2016 title, with UConn taking the lead for good with 2:09 left in the first period. UConn never trailed in any of their other 5 games.
As for this year, the Dukes will take their lumps, just like every other UConn opponent will this year.

I watched Duquesne beat Virginia at Charlottesville earlier this season, and they are no pushover. I believe Duquesne and Dayton are the two co-favorites in the A-10 this year.
Omogrosso and Vojinovic, both juniors, are the Dukes' leading scorers at 16.9 and 17.4 ppg respectively.
Omogrosso is a "local girl" from Beaver Falls, just outside of Pittsburgh. Vojinovic is from Serbia.
They are both good 3-point shooters, averaging 41% and 46%, respectively, from the arc.
Richardson, also a junior and also a local product, is the #3 scorer at 10.8 ppg.
Another player to watch is 6-3 junior Kadri-Ann Lass (from Estonia), who is among the nation's top 20 shot blockers.
