Duquesne closing thoughts
First off, a short apology on not having any player quotes in this morning’s game story. This happens when Majerus keeps the team in the room for a long time after a game. He was in there with them for…

At first glance, you look at SLU’s draw for the A-10 women’s tournament and you think, that couldn’t be much worse.
Tiebreakers left SLU with the No. 11 seed, which gave them as an opponent in their opening game St.…
Duquesne’s Shawn James, the nation’s fifth-leading shot blocker and the only player in the A-10 to have a triple-double this season, has a small tear in the labrum in his right shoulder and is doubtful for Wednesday’s game with Temple.…

WINDSOR LOCKS, Conn. — I really shouldn’t be here right now, but, for the second straight weekend, I’m stranded on the road on a Sunday night. Last week, my flight out of Richmond was cancelled, keeping me in Virginia overnight.…
A quick look at the RPI shows that SLU fell one spot after beating George Washington. Wins at home over teams at 227 don’t do you much good, and results elsewhere, like Dayton’s loss at home, no doubt hurt. Dayton…
