AMHERST, Mass. — Rahsool Diggins scored 16 points, and Massachusetts beat Duquesne, 80-61, in an Atlantic 10 opener on Wednesday night.
Diggins shot 5 of 8 from the field and 6 for 7 from the line for the Minutemen (10-3). Matt Cross scored 15 points and added eight rebounds. Jaylen Curry was 4 of 6 shooting, including 2 for 4 from 3-point range, and went 5 for 6 from the line to finish with 15 points.
Dae Dae Grant finished with 18 points and two steals for the Dukes (9-4). Duquesne also got 16 points and two steals from Jimmy Clark III. Halil Barre also had eight points.
“Every time we made a run, we kept fouling or turned the ball over,” Dukes coach Keith Dambrot said. “It’s bad discipline on both ends of the floor. Whether it was on offense or defense we didn’t play together.”
