PITTSBURGH - Saint Joseph's caps its 2006-07 regular season Sunday as the Hawks travel Duquesne for a 2 p.m. start at the A.J. Palumbo Center. Despite a 87-60 loss at No. 9 George Washington on Friday, Saint Joseph's still has an opportunity to earn a bye for next week's Atlantic 10 Tournament with a win Sunday and a loss by Charlotte. Should both teams win, the Hawks would earn fifth place at the A-10 Tournament.

SCOUTING THE DUKES
Duquesne wraps up its 2006-07 season Sunday as the Dukes honor their seniors prior to tipoff. Coming off a 72-43 loss to Temple on Friday, Duquesne had its Atlantic 10 Tournament hopes dashed as the Dukes fell to 2-11 in conference play and two games out of 12th place with one game remaining. Individually, senior forward Loui Hall has guided this team in 2006-07, leading the Dukes in both scoring (13.8 ppg) and rebounds (6.1 rpg). Likely joining the starting lineup for Dan Durkin's Dukes are four guards: senior Carmen Bruce (12.3 ppg), junior Jocelyn Chandler (8.5 ppg), sophomore Kristi Little (3.5 assists per game) and freshman Keri Pryor (10.3 ppg).

THE SERIES
The Hawks and Dukes meet for the 37th time when the teams meet Sunday afternoon. Saint Joseph's enters the game with a 32-4 edge in the series and has won four straight. Even though Duquesne has only posted a 4-11 record at home versus the Hawks, the Dukes have won three of the last four games on their home floor.
