• That's game. Dukes win behind a strong second-half effort.
• Guys are doing a nice job of finding Dixon inside. He's up to 12 points after a nice feed from Corbett. Dukes up eight with under five to go.
• Hasn't been a perfect game for Wilborn, but I've been impressed with what he's provided with eight points and six rebounds. Dukes lead 52-48 with 6:49 to go. Wilborn heading to the line when play resumes.
• Fordham has countered with a 7-2 run. Four-point game with under 13 minutes to go.
• Dukes are rolling, as they lead 46-37 with 14:55 to go. Hronsky is a big reason why. Just doing it all. Only has four points, but he's come up with a few steals, three rebounds and, most notably, a team-high seven assists.
• Wilborn showing some toughness inside. Back-to-back buckets in the paint. Had to work for them, too.
• Evenly-played first half, so it's fitting these teams go into halftime tied at 31-31.
• Dukes fading here late. Some bad shot selection and poor transition defense.
• Dukes get two offensive rebounds on one sequence. KareemRozier, the smallest guy on the floor, gets one of them, which leads to a three by Dinkins. First lead of the game for Duquesne.
• Stat of the night so far: One offensive rebound between the two teams. Duquesne doesn't have that one. We're 12-plus minutes into this thing.
• Duquesne trails 19-15 with 11:02 to go in the first half. Ugly start in the turnover department for both teams. Six miscues for Fordham, four for Duquesne. Fordham also winning the battle on the boards and has been more efficient from the field early on.
• Beautiful feed from Hronsky on the alley-oop to DavidDixon. Hronsky then comes up with a block on the other end.
• Poor start here for the Dukes. Costly turnover leads to a Fordham bucket, poor shot by Wilborn and now a foul leads to two Fordham free throws. Visitors with a 9-3 lead three minutes in.
• Underway here in Uptown.
• Update: Necas will miss tonight's game after injuring his ankle in practice on Tuesday.
• Fordham's starting five: Japhet Medor, Jackie Johnson III, Romad Dean, Abdou Tsimbila, Josh Rivera.
• Duquesne's starting five: Tre Dinkins III, Cam Crawford, Matus Hronsky, Eli Wilborn, Jahsean Corbett.
• No JakubNecas for the Dukes tonight. Don't yet know why. ChabiBarre is dressed, though.
• Good evening everyone! Checking in from Uptown a little over an hour before the opening tip.
