Duquesne's Epic Comeback: 30-Point Deficit, Game-Winning Tip-In

Duquesne Universitys mens basketball team staged an unprecedented comeback, defeating Richmond 79-77 on a buzzer-beating tip-in by senior Dave Dixon. The Dukes overcame a 30-point deficit, becoming just the fourth Division I team to achieve this feat. They finished the regular season at 17-14 overall and 9-9 in the Atlantic Ten. Richmond dominated early, leading by as much as 38-8, but Duquesne rallied with a 13-0 run in the final minutes, fueled by their seniors. Alex Williams led with 22 points, Tarence Guinyard added 16, and Dixon contributed 17 points and 11 rebounds. Coach Dru Joyce III praised the teams resilience, and the win was especially meaningful for Dixon, who had his family in attendance. This marks Duquesnes biggest comeback ever and their third winning season in four years. They face Rhode Island in the Atlantic Ten tournament on Thursday.
