PITTSBURGH - With the renovation of the on-campus UPMC Cooper Fieldhouse continuing to progress, the Department of Athletics today announced that Duquesne's December and January men's and women's basketball home games are scheduled to be played at La Roche University's Kerr Fitness Center - located 10 miles from DU's downtown campus.

The men, who played at La Roche four times last season, are currently scheduled to play four times at La Roche in 2020-21:

• Jan. 5 vs. Davidson 
• Jan. 9 vs. Fordham 
• Jan. 20 vs. Rhode Island

The DU women, who played 10 of 14 home games at La Roche in 2019-20, will host the following games at La Roche: 

• St. Bonaventure (Dec. 11) 
• VCU (Jan. 8) 
• Richmond (Jan. 10)

Times for both men's and women's home games have been added to the schedules on GoDuquesne.com. Sites for remaining men's and women's games will be re-evaluated in January.

All game dates, sites and times are subject to change.

FAN ATTENDANCE
Due to health and safety concerns related to the coronavirus pandemic, games at La Roche will be played without spectators. The Department of Athletics, based on guidance from state, county and local health officials, will actively review fan attendance policies as the season progresses. In the event that fans are permitted to attend games in February or March, there will be an extremely limited number of tickets to ensure adherence to established capacity limits and to allow for social distancing. With the health, safety and well-being of student-athletes, coaches, staff and fans being a top priority, the Department of Athletics will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as information becomes available or evolves.  

Fans will have the opportunity to follow both programs from a distance, as all non-televised men's and women's home games will once again be live streamed on the subscription-based ESPN+ platform. In addition, men's basketball games will be broadcast locally on Talk Radio WJAS 1320 AM and will be available around the globe via iHeart Radio with Ray Goss and Jarrett Durham on the call. Live in-game stats will also be available to fans via team schedule links on GoDuquesne.com.
