Duquesne’s men’s basketball team will appear on an ESPN network for the first time in more than four years Jan. 15 when the Dukes travel to St. Bonaventure. The game, originally scheduled for Jan. 16, will be televised on ESPN2 and will be part of the A-10 Friday Night Showcase.

The 125th meeting between the schools, set for a 7 p.m. tipoff, will replace the previously scheduled Davidson at Saint Louis game, which has been postponed.

The game will mark the first time since Nov. 20, 2016, when Duquesne played at No. 2 Kentucky, that the Dukes will appear on the ESPN television platform.

The Dukes also are scheduled to appear on ESPNU on Feb. 2 against Dayton. That game is designated a home game, but school officials have not announced a venue.

While the UPMC Cooper Fieldhouse remains under construction, Duquesne will play Fordham on Saturday at LaRoche University.
