Unselfishness: A Rare, but Useful Key to Victory for Pitt
Article by Mike Decker The Pittsburgh University men’s basketball team defeated Bethune-Cookman University by the final lopsided score of 89 to 40 on Saturday, Dec. 15 at The Petersen Event Center. The Panthers set the tempo very early in the competition when junior forward Talib Zanna nailed two big baskets to start the game. The second of which was a thunderous alley-oop set up by senior guard Tray Woodall. Woodall finished the game registering just two points, but tacked on ten dimes in ... Read More
2nd Half Shooting Spree Lifts RMU Past Duquesne, 91-69
MOON TWP.—I think it’s safe to say that Saturday night wasn’t exactly Duquesne’s night. The Dukes took a short trip to the suburbs of Moon Township to take on the Robert Morris Colonials for their 2nd matchup against a Pittsburgh area opponent in less than two weeks. A short trip in terms of miles maybe, but the bus ride home probably seemed quite long for Coach Ferry and his team. Robert Morris (7-4) picked up their fourth win in a row and 3rd straight against Duquesne (6-5), who was seeking ... Read More
Duquesne Upsets West Virginia, 60-56
Pittsburgh—After a rough 1st half, Duquesne came out in the 2nd half knowing they would have to play more physically. The Dukes found themselves down by as much as 15, but Ferry and his young team found a way to turn things around and record a 60-56 win at Consol Energy Center. Both teams shot poorly. Duquesne was 24 for 56 on the night, 3 for 19 in 3-pointer shooting. It was simply a matter of Duquesne wanting it more in the 2nd half. The Dukes outrebounded their opponents 43-39. Jerry ...

Duquesne Has Their Way With New Orleans, Johnson Goes Over 1000 in 88-70 Win
Pittsburgh—The eight-day break between games due to fall term finals for the New Orleans Privateers is over. On the ninth day, the independent Privateers got a lesson on what Atlantic-10 basketball is like, thanks to the Duquesne Dukes. Duquesne set the pace and the tone of the game early on. The Dukes scored baskets in transition, drew fouls, and were fearless going after loose balls. This led to dominance in every category of the game. Andre Marhold had one of his best performances of ... Read More
Dukes Bring Balanced Attack Back to the Palumbo Center This Saturday
Pittsburgh—Freshman or senior, guard or forward, starter or not, it doesn’t seem to matter for Duquesne. At this point in the season, six different players have led the Dukes in scoring (Sean Johnson, Andre Marhold, Derrick Colter, Quevyn Winters, Jerry Jones, and Jeremiah Jones) in the past seven games. These players range in position from point guard to forward. This reflects one of the key characteristics of Duquesne’s offense this year—having four shooters on the floor for the majority of a ...
