Duquesne comeback helps seal 69-67 win

Trailing by nine points in the second half, the Duquesne men’s team roared back at Monday night at Coach Dru Joyce Court at LeBron James Arena in Akron, Ohio, to earn a 69-67 victory against Bradley.

The Braves (6-5) led from the early minutes until Duquesne edged ahead 6462 on Andrei Savrasov’s basket with 4:15 left.

Jimmy Clark III led the Dukes (8-2) with 21 points but with the game tied in the final minute he committed a turnover that set up Bradley for a winning shot. But Clark redeemed himself with a critical steal with three seconds to go and he fed David Dixon for a game-winning layup.
