The Duquesne Dukes are set to play the Howard Bison on Tuesday, Dec. 2 at 7:00 pm ET at the A.J. Palumbo Center in Pittsburgh, but may want to watch out for the name “James” in the process.
The Bison, 4-3 overall, defeated Gwynedd Mercy University 96-83 on Nov. 29 with the help of senior G/F James “JC” Carlton and sophomore G/F James “JT” Miller, each posting career highs of 26 and 33 points, respectively. Leading scorer sophomore G James “J-Byrd” Daniel sat out with a thigh injury.
The Bison, led by fourth year head coach Kevin Nickelberry, are 3-0 at home and 1-3 on the road.
The Dukes are currently 2-1 overall, falling to NJIT 84-81 on Nov. 29. Junior guard Micah Mason hit a career high six 3-pointers in the defeat, followed closely by junior guard Derrick Colter, who was 4-6 from beyond the arc.
Duquesne leads the all-time series 1-0. The last game between the two schools was in 2007, with the Dukes defeating the Bison 129-59.
Duquesne head coach Jim Ferry is in his third season.
