Duquesne to Visit Maryland, Host Cal Baptist, San Jose St in 2020 Showcase

The four-team event, which will be held on campus venues, will be held Nov. 16-25. Duquesne will host California Baptist on Nov. 16 and San Jose State on Nov. 18 before visiting Maryland on Nov. 22.

The games are the first three to be announced as part of Duquesne’s 2020-21 schedule, which is slated to feature the opening of UPMC Chuck Cooper Fieldhouse on campus. Duquesne played the 2019-20 season without a true home venue, playing games at Robert Morris, La Roche University and at PPG Paints Arena.
Maryland finished the 2019-20 season 24-7, ranked No. 12 in the AP Top 25 and tied with Wisconsin and Michigan State at 14-6 for the top spot in the Big Ten. The Dukes have not faced the Terrapins since 2002. Maryland has won all eight meetings between the schools.
