Duquesne Basketball
Duquesne Off to First 4-0 Start Since 2009, Beat Indiana State 74-71
Duquesne didn’t make it easy on themselves as they had to fight their way back from multiple double-digit deficits but in the end they did, beating Indiana State, 74-71 in the first game of the Junkanoo Jam Classic in the Bahamas.
Freshman Ashton Miller made two free throws with :18 left to give Duquesne a 72-71 lead. Following two more free throws by Sincere Carry, Indiana State missed a three-pointer at the buzzer and the Dukes remained perfect in 2019.
