Atlantic 10 schedule changes will create a busy week for the Duquesne men’s basketball team next month.

Two of the three games postponed by covid complications earlier this season will be played over three days, giving the Dukes four games in eight days.

After a regularly scheduled matchup against Fordham at the Cooper Fieldhouse on Feb. 12, the Dukes will visit Davidson on Feb. 14, a makeup of a game originally scheduled for Dec. 30.

Then, coach Keith Dambrot brings his team home to play George Washington on Feb. 16. That’s a new makeup date after the game had been rescheduled from Jan. 5 to Feb. 15.

The last of the four games will be played Feb. 19 at St. Bonaventure.

The GW game will be the second of a doubleheader with the Duquesne women’s team. The women will play Richmond at 5 p.m., with the men’s game scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m.

Duquesne’s game with George Mason, which was postponed Jan. 2, has not been rescheduled.
