CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Duquesne wanted to run Wednesday night, while Charlotte wanted to slow the tempo down.

Speed won out.

The Dukes pushed the ball up the court and repeatedly burned the 49ers with easy transition baskets to come away with an 88-77 victory, spoiling Charlotte’s regular season home finale.

Duquesne’s outscored Charlotte 28-0 on fast break opportunities and that was the difference.

B.J Monteiro led the way for Duquesne (16-13, 7-8 Atlantic 10 Conference), scoring 15 of his 21 points in the second half. He was one of five Dukes in double digits in scoring. Eric Evans added 17 points while T.J. McConnell and Sean Johnson had 14 apiece, and Jerry Jones scored 13 off the bench.

The victory allowed Duquesne to snap a three-game losing streak.
