The Setting:
Duquesne travels to Cincinnati to face the Musketeers at the Cintas Center. Xavier leads the all-time series 24-16.

Last Game:
Xavier overcame Rhode Island's "Pink-Out" on it's way to an 81-77 road victory. Xavier was paced by Josh Duncan's 23 points and perfect night from the field. Meanwhile, Duquesne fell to Richmond 69-66. Bill Clark chipped in 15 points in a losing effort.

Previous Meeting:
On January 31, 2007 Duquesne defeated Xavier 93-91. Xavier rallied from 16 points down with eight minutes remaining only to fall short. Famously, Sean Miller chased an official off the Court as time expired after a controversial "no-call" on the game's final shot.

Last year the little dukies came from behind (was it 19 points) and beat us. I say we win by 10-15.

Other way around. I think we came from behind 18 and tied it, but they hit game-winner before time expired.

I knew it was something like that, although I'm not sure which is worse. I think I'd rather be blown out than come all the way back and then lose.

Good of you to pull up a poll from several weeks ago to complain.

Didn't you hear ? There was a blizzard. Hard to navigate the electronic highway today.
