+ | **Top scoring men's basketball teams in Atlantic 10 play tonight in Pittsburgh**\\ | ||

+ | |||
+ | PITTSBURGH - Fans of slow-down, grind-down-the-shot-clock basketball won't likely enjoy tonight' | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Atlantic 10's No. 1 scoring team, UMass at 77.3 points per game, will face the league' | ||
+ | |||
+ | After back-to-back wins at home, UMass coach [[kellogg_derek|Derek Kellogg]] was curious to see how his team would fare away from the [[mullins_center|Mullins Center]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | " | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Minutemen (14-4, 3-1 A-10) are 2-2 in true road games this year and haven' | ||
+ | |||
+ | UMass' ability to force turnovers and tire out opponents has been key to its success this year, but the Dukes (11-7, 2-2) aren't as likely to be susceptible. | ||
+ | |||
+ | " | ||
+ | |||
+ | The A-10 is loaded with top level point guards and this game features two of the best. UMass' [[williams_chaz|Chaz Williams]], who shut down [[opponent_saint_josephs_pa|Saint Joseph' | ||
+ | |||
+ | "I feel like the last game was a good matchup for me," said Williams, who is second in the league in assists per game (5.9) and is third in steals (2.3). "The Atlantic 10 isn't a cakewalk so it should be pretty fun." | ||
+ | |||
+ | "The kid McConnell is fantastic," | ||
+ | |||
+ | Junior guard Sean Johnson leads the Dukes at 16.0 points per game. | ||
+ | |||
+ | UMass' biggest advantages appear to be on defense and rebounding as the Dukes struggle in both areas. Duquesne is 13th in both overall field-goal percentage defense (.451) and 3-point defense (.361). The Dukes have been outrebounded by an average of 6.7 boards per game, which is worst in the conference. | ||

+ | **Men' | ||
+ | Minutemen commit season-high 29 turnovers in loss.\\ | ||
+ | From [[http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | PITTSBURGH - An 8-0 late in the second half gave Duquesne an 80-69 win over the UMass men's basketball team on Wednesday night at the Palumbo Center. The Minutemen committed a season-high 29 turnovers in the loss and dealt with foul trouble throughout the game. [[morgan_jesse|Jesse Morgan]] had a team-best 14 points, while [[carter_sean|Sean Carter]] had 12 points and 14 rebounds. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Duquesne improves to 12-7 overall and 3-2 in the Atlantic 10, while UMass falls to 14-5 overall and 3-2 in the league. The Minutemen will return to action on Saturday, Jan. 21 at [[opponent_richmond|Richmond]]. The game will be televised nationally on the CBS Sports Network with opening tip-off set for 5 PM. | ||
+ | |||
+ | After a nip-and-tuck first half which saw seven ties, UMass took a three-point lead, 46-43 early in the second half after back-to-back buckets by Chaz Williams. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Dukes tied the game 48-48 with 14:45 left in the game before going on an 8-0 run over the next two minutes to stretch the lead to eight, 56-48. | ||
+ | |||
+ | UMass fought back trimming the lead down to four points following back-to-back scores by Carter with 7:50 left making the score 62-58 and forcing a Duquesne timeout. The teams traded three-pointers following the timeout, but the Dukes opened things up with another 8-0 run to push the lead back to 12, 73-61, with 4:32 remaining. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The teams traded points in the balance of the game with the Minutemen unable to stop the clock due to foul trouble. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Along with Carter and Morgan, [[vinson_terrell|Terrell Vinson]] scored 10 points on 5-of-7 shooting. The Minutemen shot 53.1% (17-of-32) for the game, but were just 4-for-9 from the free throw line. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Duquesne was led by B.J. Monteiro who scored a game-high 23 points and Sean Johnson who added 20 points and 10 rebounds. McConnell added 15 points, six assists and four steals to round out the Dukes' leaders. | ||
+ | |||
+ | UMass' 29 turnovers marked a season high with Duquesne converting those into 32 points for the game. The Dukes also converted 18-of-27 free throw opportunities in the game. | ||

+ | **Foul trouble, turnovers plague UMass men's basketball in loss at Duquesne**\\ | ||
+ | By Matt Vautour, [[http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | PITTSBURGH - The University of Massachusetts couldn' | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Minutemen committed 28 fouls, including a flurry of them early in the second half, that left coach Derek Kellogg with few choices. Kellogg was forced to play guys with four fouls because over half of his squad was in foul trouble. Sophomore point guard Chaz Williams picked up his fourth foul with 14 minutes, 12 seconds left in the second half. Terrell Vinson got his fourth with 11:36 left. [[putney_raphiael|Raphiael Putney]] picked up No. 4 33 seconds later and [[esho_maxie|Maxie Esho]] was called for his 39 seconds after Putney. | ||
+ | |||
+ | "Foul trouble killed us today," | ||
+ | |||
+ | Kellogg was disappointed with the types of fouls his team committed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | "I was frustrated. I thought we committed too many offensive fouls," | ||
+ | |||
+ | No matter who was in the game, the Minutemen couldn' | ||
+ | |||
+ | " | ||
+ | |||
+ | Despite all their struggles, the Minutemen (14-5, 3-2 Atlantic 10) were within four after a [[riley_freddie|Freddie Riley]] 3-pointer with just under 7 minutes left. But B.J. Montiero led an 8-0 run that provided the knockout blow. Montiero led Duquesne (12-7, 3-2 A-10) with 23 points, while Sean Johnson added 20 points and 10 rebounds. Morgan was UMass' top scorer with 14 points, but 12 of those came in the first half. Carter had 12 points, 14 rebounds and three blocked shots. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The speed of the game lived up to pregame expectations as both teams raced up and down the floor. Even the officials had a hard time keeping up and were forced to make calls from behind the play on a few occasions. The Minutemen seemed uncomfortable with having a willing racing partner and turned the ball over 15 times in the first half. Williams (eight points) seemed particularly off his game with six turnovers and no points as he and Putney were held scoreless in the first half. | ||
+ | |||
+ | For all the scoring, there weren' | ||
+ | |||
+ | UMass next plays at Richmond at 5 p.m. Saturday. | ||

+ | **Sean Carter shines for Minutemen in Pittsburgh**\\ | ||
+ | By Matt Vautour, [[http:// | ||

+ | PITTSBURGH - If it wasn't for Wednesday' | ||
+ | |||
+ | The University of Massachusetts senior has shone in two career games in Pittsburgh. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In 2010, Carter had 11 points and a career-high 19 rebounds in an [[http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | There were no heroics Wednesday, but Carter shone again with 12 points and 14 rebounds. Because of foul trouble to the rest of the roster, Carter played a career-high matching 38 minutes. | ||
+ | |||
+ | " | ||
+ | |||
+ | TURNOVERS - While 29 turnovers were a season high, they' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Opponents have averaged 23.2 points off of turnovers in UMass losses. | ||
+ | |||
+ | MATT HILL PLAYS - Senior [[hill_matt|Matt Hill]], who'd been out with a sprained knee, played in just his third game of the season and his first since [[game20111130_towson|Nov. 30 against Towson]]. He played two minutes in the first half with the Minutemen in foul trouble. | ||
+ | |||
+ | NEXT UP - UMass was scheduled to fly back to Amherst after the game, but will be back on the road at Richmond at 5 p.m. Saturday. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Junior guard Darius Brothers leads the Spiders with 14.8 points per game. | ||
+ | |||
+ | MISCELLANEOUS - Former UMass standout Will Herndon, who was noted for his dunks, was in attendance. Herndon didn't get to see the team's current noteworthy dunker, Raphiael Putney, slam one as foul trouble limited the sophomore to three points in 20 minutes. He did have eight rebounds and two blocks. | ||
