PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Tommie Liddell had 12 points and 13 rebounds

to lead Saint Louis to a 70-57 victory over Duquesne on Wednesday.

Liddell also had eight assists, narrowly missing becoming the

first player in Saint Louis history to record a triple-double. Ian

Vouyoukas had 19 points and eight rebounds, and Kevin Lisch added

13 points for Saint Louis (13-10, 7-4 Atlantic 10), which has won

four of its past five games.

Duquesne (3-20, 1-11) lost its fifth in a row and for the 14th

time in the past 15 games.

Liddell, who also had a game-high four steals, reached double

figures in rebounds midway through the second half and scored his

10th point with three minutes remaining. But he was unable to come

up with the two assists needed to make school history.

Bryant McAllister led Duquesne with 20 points. Sean McKeon added

eight points and five rebounds for the Dukes, who haven't won a

home game since Dec. 20.

Duquesne led only once early in the game. Saint Louis followed

with a 22-4 run and twice held 14-point leads in the first half.

Duquesne used a 16-2 run in the second half to pull within 57-51

with 6:18 left, but the Dukes could get no closer.

Duquesne was 15-for-15 from the foul line, but that could not

offset 39.6 percent shooting from the floor. Saint Louis held a

37-24 rebounding edge and a 7-2 advantage in steals.

Saint Louis, a first-year member of the Atlantic 10, hadn't

played Duquesne since 1956. The Dukes lead the all-time series 3-1.
