No free T-shirts seems to have driven down the attendance.

FIRST HALF

15:19: UMass 8, Duquesne 4 - The Minutemen are up, but Ricky Harris is 0-for-2 on open shots so far. He struggled a bit from the field Sunday too. UMass can't afford a long slump from him.

11:06: UMass 18, Duquesne 14 - Matt Glass has nne points already.  Luke Bonner has two fouls.

3:55: Duquesne 33, UMass 32 - Lowe, Glass two fouls each. Harris  just made a three. Duquesne keeps getting free for easy baskets on defense.

HALFTIME: Duquesne 46, UMass 35 -Ugly finish to the half for the Minutemen, who could get blown out if they don't turn things around fast.

3:14: Duq 83, UMass 70 - The Dukes led by as many as 21. UMass has made a run, but it's going to come up way short.

FINAL - Duquesne 94-77

Turned out to be an ugly one at the Mullins Center as UMass couldn't keep up with the Dukes.
