David Borne | Staff Writer March 28, 2019 When the news broke about Pitt’s decision to not play the annual City Game next season, I was disappointed. The City Game is a fun, great way to celebrate basketball in Western Pennsylvania. With that being said, I can fully understand why Pitt doesn’t want to play it.

Not so … Continue reading Hope is not lost for Dukes after disappointing loss to Pitt
Addie Smith | Sports Editor The men’s basketball City Game is an important staple in a Duquesne student’s time at the University. It’s the one time a year where the student section at the Consol Energy Center almost (but not entirely) matches the size of the student population and one can actually hear excitement from the section compared to regular season games. There’s just something … Continue reading An Added Word: City Game date leads to vacation woes
