DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — B.J. Monteiro scored 20 points to pace four in double figures for Duquesne in an 83-73 win over Dayton on Wednesday night, helping the Dukes avoid their first three-game skid of the season.

Mike Talley added 15 points, Eric Evans 12 and Jerry Jones 10 for the Dukes (13-9, 4-4 Atlantic 10 Conference). Monteiro also went 4 of 7 from 3-point range for Duquesne, which finished 12 of 23 from the arc (52.2 percent).
