UMass outlasts Duquesne in OT
PITTSBURGH – Jabarie Hinds scored a career-high 37 points and Massachusetts outlasted Duquesne in overtime, 108-99, Sunday.
UMass hit its first three shots in the extra session, including Hinds’ 3-pointer with 3:04 left, which put the Minutemen up 92-86. Duquesne’s Micah Mason hit a jumper to make it a four-point game, then the Dukes resorted to fouling.

Duquesne went up by two with 1:55 to go in regulation on a pair of free throws by Mason, but didn’t score again. Donte Clark’s free throws with 41 seconds left tied it to prompt overtime.
Hinds was 13 of 20 from the field with seven 3-pointers. Trey Davis scored 26 points, while Clark and Antwan Space had 17 apiece. Space added 17 rebounds, a career high.
