QUICK NOTES
• Duquesne (10-6, 0-3) returns from back-to-back road games to host Saint Louis (6-9, 1-2) at 7:00 on Wednesday, Jan. 13 (Atlantic 10 Digital Network). The Dukes, who faced the only two Atlantic 10 schools who are undefeated at home (Davidson & George Washington) in their past two games, are looking to snap a four-game losing streak.
• Saint Louis, which is coming off a 72-56 home loss to VCU on Sunday, is 1-2 on the road. Duquesne is 7-1 at home with the lone loss coming by a 66-58 score to Dayton in DU's last home game on Jan. 2. This is the first of two meetings between the Dukes and Billikens.
• Duquesne is looking for its first win since losing senior forward Jeremiah Jones to a season-ending knee injury vs. Robert Morris on Dec. 19. Jones had played in every game of his DU career (103) with 95 starts. The Dukes were without second-leading scorer Micah Mason (ankle) for the Dayton game. Mason made his return at Davidson. DU's last four opponents began the week with RPIs of 40 (Georgia Tech), 18 (Dayton), 33 (Davidson) and 34 (George Washington). Duquesne's RPI stood at 124 and Saint Louis at 206 through Jan. 11.
NEXT UP: Duquesne hosts St. Bonaventure on Saturday, Jan. 16 at 6:00 p.m. The game, which will be televised by ASN, is also DU's annual RED OUT. All fans in attendance will receive a commorative "red" T-shirt upon entry.
