Duquesne (10-6, 0-3) looks to snap a four-game losing streak in hosting Saint Louis (6-9, 1-2) tonight at 7 p.m. at Palumbo Center.
The Dukes return from back-to-back road games against Davidson and George Washington, the only two Atlantic 10 schools undefeated at home, to face the Billikens. Duquesne comes off a 91-64 loss to George Washington on Saturday while Saint Louis returns from a 72-56 home loss to VCU on Sunday.
Tonight marks the 22nd game between Duquesne and 11th-year Atlantic 10 member Saint Louis. The Billikens lead the overall series 11-10. At Pittsburgh, the series is tied 5-5.
Duquesne, 7-1 at home, look to earn its first win since losing senior forward Jeremiah Jones to a season-ending knee injury in the Dec. 19 Robert Morris home game. Senior guard and second-leading scorer Micah Mason sat out during the Dayton game for an ankle injury but returned at Davidson.
Mason averages 17.6 ppg in his five career games against Saint Louis on .652 shooting.
The Dukes rank third in the Atlantic 10 in scoring offense with 78.0 ppg and lead the conference with 140 3-pointers.
