Duquesne (13-2, 3-0), off to its best start since 1971-72, continues a stretch of four-of-five on the road when it heads to Washington, D.C. to face George Washington (6-9, 0-2) on Saturday, Jan. 11 at 4:00 p.m. (ESPN+). The Dukes, who are 3-0 in Atlantic 10 play for just the fourth time in 43 A-10 seasons, will be looking to go 4-0 for the first time since the 2010-11 team started A-10 play with a school record eight-straight wins. The Dukes, who are 7-0 at home despite having to play their "home" games at three different arenas due to the season-long renovation of the on-campus UPMC Cooper Fieldhouse, were the last D-I team to play a road game. The nomadic Dukes, who are playing home games at three different sites, have played more games in the Bahamas (3), Florida (2) and Ohio (2) than they have within Pittsburgh's city limits.
