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…

I quit.
I know the A-10 is unpredictable, but the SLU-St. Bonaventure game on Saturday should have been the most predictable game of the weekend. (Though, as I think I warned in an earlier post, SLU needed to take care of…
