Duquesne @ Massachusetts

Current Records: Duquesne 14-7; Massachusetts 12-8

What to Know

The Duquesne Dukes have enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they must head out on the road. The Dukes and the Massachusetts Minutemen will face off in an Atlantic 10 battle at 4 p.m. ET Saturday at William D. Mullins Center. Duquesne is expected to win -- but not by much -- so they will need to come into the game prepared for a fight.

Duquesne didn't have too much trouble with the Loyola Chicago Ramblers at home on Wednesday as they won 72-58. Duquesne got double-digit scores from four players: guard Dae Dae Grant (13), guard Jimmy Clark III (13), forward Rodney Gunn Jr. (12), and guard Tevin Brewer (10).

Meanwhile, the Richmond Spiders typically have all the answers at home, but on Wednesday UMass proved too difficult a challenge. UMass came out on top against the Spiders by a score of 85-76. Among those leading the charge for the Minutemen was guard RJ Luis, who had 23 points and five assists along with seven boards.

Their wins bumped the Dukes to 14-7 and UMass to 12-8. We'll see which team can carry over their success and which team inevitably falls when Duquesne and UMass clash.
