On Tuesday, the winless Washington State Cougars are going back to the Atlantic 10 Conference well to try and find their first victory of the season.

After a 76-61 loss to Davidson on Nov. 2, the Cougars finish their two-game East Coast road swing Tuesday with a first-ever meeting against Duquesne.

The Dukes were selected 10th out of 14 schools in the preseason conference order of finish poll by coaches.

Duquesne has two returning starting guards, in all-conference first-teamer Tarence Guinyard and Brandon Hall.

Guinyard became the school’s first all-conference first-team selection since 2010. He averaged 16.6 points and 4.7 assists per game last season.

Meanwhile, WSU is coming off an 83-71 loss at High Point on Saturday. Transfer guard Lazerek Houston was the game’s leading scorer with 31 points.

And while first-year Cougars coach David Riley said the offenses flashed for small stretches behind Houston, Jaylen Harrell and R.J. Jones off the bench, he was more concerned about a defense that gave up 59-percent shooting and 36 points in the paint to the hosts.

“Giving up that many shots at the rim isn’t good enough,” Riley said on the Cougar Sports Network after the game.
