History
The Dakar Université Club basketball team was founded in 1956.
The team had its first major success in 2009, when the Students won the Nationale 1 for the first time. This title was followed by three more championships in the 2010s (including 2010, 2013 and 2015). They also won the Senegalese Cup in 2015.
On 9 August 2021, DUC Dakar won its fifth national championship after defeating defending champions AS Douanes in the final. Thierno Niang was named the league's Finals MVP. As a result, the team qualified for the 2022 season of the Basketball Africa League (BAL).
In the Sahara Conference of the BAL, which was hosted in the team's home city Dakar, DUC finished in the 6th and last place of group play. The only game that was won was against Rwandan champions REG on 11 March, 92-86. DUC's point guard Hameed Ali led the BAL in assists, with 8.4 per game.
Following their BAL campaign, DUC won back-to-back Senegalese Cup titles in 2022 and 2023.
DUC ble grunnlagt i 1959, og er et av de mest suksessrike basketballlagene i landet. Laget har vunnet det senegalesiske mesterskapet 16 ganger, og har også vunnet det afrikanske mesterskapet for klubber tre ganger (i 1974, 1976 og 1977).
DUC har en rekke kjente spillere, inkludert Boniface Ndong, Maleye Ndoye og Gorgui Dieng. Dieng spilte for laget fra 2008 til 2010, og ble deretter draftet av Utah Jazz i NBA.
I 2018 representerte DUC Senegal i Basketball Africa League, og nådde kvartfinalen.
