Billikens (10-5, 0-2) lost to Duquesne
University (5-8, 1-1) 73-63 at the Scottrade Center (reported

(17 pts, 4 rebounds) were the only bright performances. The Billikens

charity line. The Dukes were led by sophomore guard Aaron Jackson
(19 pts, 5 rebounds), junior guard Reggie Jackson (13 pts, 4
