The Dukes, led by head coach Ron Everhart , played their home games at the A.J. Palumbo Center and CONSOL Energy Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania , as members of the Atlantic 10 Conference . Duquesne started the year with a 16–5 record, the program's best start since the 1971–72 season, and won their first eight conference games for the first time ever.[ 1] However, they ended the regular season losing six of their last eight games.
The Dukes finished fourth in the A-10 during the regular season, but were upset in the quarterfinals of the Atlantic 10 tournament by the 12th-seeded Saint Joseph's ,[ 2] ending their tournament run after just one game.
Duquesne failed to qualify for the NCAA tournament , but were invited to the 2011 College Basketball Invitational . The Dukes won their first game in the tournament, but were eliminated in the quarterfinals of the CBI after losing to eventual tournament champion Oregon , 77–75.[ 3]
