Duquesne’s Keith Dambrot jokingly credited upset win over BYU on his players not letting him retire

The Duquesne Dukes men’s basketball team has been winning so much that head coach Keith Dambrot, who announced his retirement earlier this week, jokingly credited his team for not letting him get to retirement life sooner.

IT’S BRACKET MADNESS: Enter USA TODAY’s NCAA tournament bracket contest for a chance at $1 million prize.

Duquesne has been playing some good basketball. They’re on a roll, and since February 28, they have won nine games straight. That winning streak includes an upset win over BYU during Thursday’s first round of NCAA tournament play. The win is actually really special because head coach Keith Dambrot had previously never won an NCAA Division I tournament game.

After the matchup, Hambrot was asked how his team’s clutch play helped them meet the moment. Hambrot joked that his team won’t let him retire.

SURVIVOR POOL: Free to enter. $2,500 to win. Can you survive the madness?
