ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. -- Duquesne took control out of the second media timeout and went up by as many as seven, but La Salle has clawed back into it to trail by two, 72-70.

Duquesne began pressing out of the second media timeout and immediately went on a 13-5 spurt -- punctuated by a Reggie Jackson steal and layup -- to go up 67-70. La Salle's Darnell Harris answered, hitting a long two and a three on consecutive possessions.

Jackson, a 5-10 senior guard, has exploded in the second half, scoring 15 points in the first 12 minutes as Duquesne gained control of the game. Aaron Jackson (a 6-2 guard, and no relation) is 5-for-5 for 10 points.
