Last Saturday, the Dukes were able to grind out a solid win over the Rams, taking the game 68-59. The victory made it back-to-back wins for Duquesne.

Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Duquesne to victory, but perhaps none more so than David Dixon, who scored 12 points along with six rebounds and three steals. The team also got some help courtesy of Jake DiMichele, who scored 15 points.

Meanwhile, Chicago State had already won three in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 28 points), and they went ahead and made it four last Sunday.

It's a different story for Chicago State, though, as they've been averaging only 33.2 rebounds per game. Given Duquesne's sizable advantage in that area, the Cougars will need to find a way to close that gap.
