Keith Dambrot's first NCAA tournament appearance as the head coach at Duquesne will also be his last. The 65-year-old Dambrot is retiring whenever the Dukes' run in March Madness ends. Dambrot announced his decision a day after a 57-51 victory over VCU in the Atlantic 10 tournament final clinched the small Catholic school in downtown Pittsburgh its first NCAA tournament berth since 1977. Dambrot says he was 80% sure he was going to retire last summer. That turned into 100% when his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. Duquesne is an 11th-seed in the NCAA tournament and will play sixth-seeded BYU in the first round.
