The 2024–25 Duquesne Dukes men's basketball team represents Duquesne University during the 2024–25 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The team is led by first-year head coach Dru Joyce III and plays their home games at the UPMC Cooper Fieldhouse in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania as a member of the Atlantic 10 Conference (A-10).
The Dukes finished the 2023–24 season 25–12, 10–8 in A-10 play to finish in sixth place. They defeated Saint Louis, Dayton, St. Bonaventure, and VCU to win the A-10 tournament championship. As a result, they received the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament marking the sixth trip to the NCAA tournament in school history and first since 1977.[1] As the No. 11 seed in the East Region, they upset BYU in the first round[2] before losing in the second round to Illinois.[3]
After winning the A-10 tournament championship, head coach Keith Dambrot announced that he would retire following the season.[4] Dambrot had spent seven years as head coach of the Dukes. On March 28, 2024, the school named associate head coach Dru Joyce III the team's new head coach.[5]
