► FOLLOW THE ACTION
• Brown makes the first and misses the second on purpose. Wilborn gets the defensive rebound and is fouled. Makes both free throws before Saint Joseph's misses a half-court heave. That's game.
• Rozier fouls to send Saint Joseph's to the line for two.
• Dixon drains a three with 4.8 seconds to go. His second shot from deep tonight gives Duquesne an 83-80 lead. Wow.
• Absolutely huge block by Dixon with the game tied at 80-80. Dukes regain possession with 19.5 seconds left in overtime. He's certainly made his presence felt here tonight with 14 points, nine rebounds and three blocks.
• Crawford in pain and exits the game after making two free throws. Was limping after the foul. Another injury to monitor in this one.
• Foul situation to monitor: Corbett and Dixon each with four fouls.
• Shot missed at the buzzer. Heading to OT.
• Duquesne locks down defensively when it needs to most. Two blocks from Corbett and Dixon. Saint Joseph's maintains possession. Timeout with one second on the clock.
• Crawford got a favorable bounce on the first of two free throws and made the second easily. Tied at 73-73.
• Saint Joseph's can't miss right now. They've converted on 6 of their last 7 shot attempts and lead by two with 30.9 seconds to go.
• Dukes shifting the momentum in their favor behind a fourth three-pointer of the half from Dinkins and a thunderous dunk from Dixon. Dukes lead 69-67 with 2:30 remaining.
• Duquesne now trails 60-59 with 6:44 to go. Eight-plus minutes in which the Dukes have been outscored 22-9.
• Saint Joseph's run was 18-4 over a six-minute period before a three by Crawford.
• Saint Joseph's is on an 11-2 run over the last 4:13. Their deficit is now down to two at 56-54 with 8:51 to go.
• Season-high 21 points for Dinkins. Saint Joseph's has trimmed its deficit to 56-50 with under 10 minutes to go, though.
• Dinkins is red hot from long range. He has all nine points during Duquesne's current 9-0 run. Up to 19 points on 8 for 13 shooting. He's 3 for 7 from deep. Dukes lead 50-38 -- their largest of the night -- with 14:58 on the clock.
• Again, solid defense leading to transition points. Dixon with a big block on one end and Dinkins with a deep three on the other. Dukes ahead 44-38 with 15:53 to go.
• Saint Joseph's shot 45.5% in the half. Turnovers were costly, though, as nine of them led to 15 points for the Dukes.
• Dukes shot 42.1% from the field in the first half. Dinkins led the way with 10 points (5-9 FG) and Dixon contributed with seven points and five rebounds. Dukes are winning the rebounding battle, 19-16.
• Necas heading back to the locker room under his own power.
• Saint Joseph's cut its deficit to three before Dixon hit a rare shot from beyond the arc. Had only attempted five of those all season. Dukes lead 32-26 with 3:15 to go in the half.
• Necas is down and in pain. Being helped off the court. Not putting any weight on that right leg. Looked like he might have landed awkwardly on Hronsky's foot. We've seen the impact he makes on this lineup. Would be a big blow if that's serious.
• Encouraging to see the way Dinkins is shooting the ball here in this one. Has six points and has converted on half of his shot attempts. Was held scoreless against Davidson on Saturday.
• Duquesne has forced seven turnovers in the first 13 minutes of the first half. Scored 13 of its points off those turnovers.
• The Dukes' effort on the defensive end of the floor has really helped their offense get things going. Back-to-back steals just led to easy transition buckets by Necas and Edwards.
• Dukes have established a nine-point lead with 12:19 to go in the half. MaximusEdwards hit a three and MatusHronsky followed up a steal with a dunk to prompt a timeout. A 12-0 run for Duquesne over the last 3:46.
• DavidDixon with two early buckets here. Was just on the receiving end of a nifty pass from KareemRozier fresh off the bench.
• At the first media timeout, Duquesne trails 7-6 with 15:15 left in the first half. Dukes are 3 for 9 from the field and 0 for 3 from three-point range. Have had some open looks, but haven't been able to capitalize on the opportunities.
• We're underway here on the Bluff. Opening tip controlled by the Dukes.
• Saint Joseph's starters: Derek Simpson, Xzayvier Brown, Rasheer Fleming, Erik Reynolds II, Justice Ajogbor.
• Duquesne's starters: Tre Dinkins III, Cam Crawford, Jahsean Corbett, Chabi Barre, Jakub Necas.
• Greetings from the UPMC Cooper Fieldhouse for this Atlantic-10 Conference matchup. It looks like the Dukes will get JakubNecas back after he missed Saturday's game against Davidson due to a concussion. ChabiBarre also dressed. JakeDiMichele is not.
