Wow...this game went from being marque, tournament like atmosphere a couple years ago to irrelevent really fast.

What's the line? X always struggles in Pittsburgh.

Xavier (-7.5). I'd take X at that line, were I a gambling man.

Duquesne, you fooled all of us in the out of conference into thinking you weren't THAT bad.

Now your true colors are showing. I'm not sure if they'll even win a game in conference. Take Xavier and the points.

Is this game on campus or at Consol? It's young, but Duquesne seems to like playing at Consol. X should win, but if I'm gambling, I take Duquesne to cover. They should play well, and Xavier's not a team that blows people out anywhere, let along on the road. I foresee a late Dukes bucket to cap a 67-60 loss.

It's at Consol.

Duquense would only be X's third road win of the season (Purdue at beginning of Dec and Bona) so it may even be closer than the 7 pt spread... X isn't good at all on the road, but Duquense is bad. We shall see

Radio for game is 55 KRC, not WLW.

BmoreX · 02-09-2013, 04:41 PM

31-22 X with 3:04 left in the first half.

Duquesne's game plan is just launching threes. That's the only way they're staying in this game.

bprichard · 02-09-2013, 05:42 PM

Xavier goes on a big run to claw out of a hole, and Duquesne looking like a beaten team at this point. They need to hit some threes if they want to get back in it.

X-band '01 · 02-09-2013, 05:59 PM

Duquesne came out strong in both halves and just flattened out towards the end of both halves. That's what a young team will go through.

xudash · 02-09-2013, 06:10 PM

Looks like JMart cleared the cobwebs.

Any victory, especially a road win, is nice in this league at this point.

The Dukes made it interesting.

MudFlap · 02-09-2013, 06:14 PM

Agree. Any win on road is great this yr. Taylor finally waking up.
