Notable: The Spiders have dropped four of five, and have struggled to score in recent games. The Dukes won 83-73 at Dayton on Wednesday, while UR fell 70-60 to Saint Joseph's. . . . The smallish Dukes, who rely on balanced scoring, will press and run with a defense that causes an average of 17.9 turnovers. . . DU has one of the A-10's top young players in sophomore guard T.J. McConnell, who averages 2.9 steals. . . . These are the worst two rebounding teams in the league. . . . The Dukes will wear red throwback uniforms to honor former DU player Chuck Cooper, the first African-American drafted by an NBA team. Cooper was a Duke in the late 1940s and early 1950s.
