Duquesne nips Dayton

PITTSBURGH — Damian Saunders had 20 points, including the go-ahead layup with 25.8 seconds to play, and Duquesne won for the fourth time in five games, 73-71 over Dayton on Sunday.

Saunders, who had 16 points in the second half, gave the Dukes a 72-71 lead by driving through traffic into the lane.

Dayton's Chris Johnson — who made a game-high six 3-pointers — missed a wide open shot from beyond the arc on the right wing with 13 seconds left. Saunders and Dayton's Chris Wright fought for possession on the rebound, and the possession arrow went to the Dukes.
