Ricky Harris scored 22 of his game-high 29 points in the second half and overtime as Massachusetts (9-15, 3-7) rallied from a 16-point second half deficit to defeat Duquesne (12-12, 3-7) 84-80 in overtime at the Palumbo Center.

Anthony Gurley scored 16 of his 20 in the second half and Sean Carter added 11 points and 19 rebounds for UMass which is now 2-8 on the road. Gurley and Harris combined for nine of UMass' 12 3-pointers.

B.J. Monteiro led four Duquesne players in double figures with 18 points. Junior Damian Saunders became the 33rd member of the DU 1,000-point club with 15 points to go along with seven rebounds, five steals and four blocks. Eric Evans had 13 points and eight assists and Bill Clark added 14 points and eight rebounds for the Dukes.

Duquesne took a four point lead early in overtime before Harris buried a deep 3-pointer to cut it to one with 3:00 to go. DU went up three on a pair of Clark free throws before Gurley hit his fourth 3-pointer of the second half to tie it at 80-80. Harris hit a pair of free throws with 1:22 to go to put UMass up two. Gurley then missed a pair of free throws with 18 seconds left, but UM missed a tip before Carter cleaned up with a follow dunk for the game's final points.

"They made some really tough shots down the stretch, both Gurley and Harris ... especially Harris," said Duquesne head coach Ron Everhart. "He's a senior guard. He's been through the wars. He understands it."

UMass missed 18 of its first 22 field goal attempts and turned it over nine times as Duquesne jumped out to a 26-11 lead. The Minutemen, who entered the game averaging just under seven 3-pointers per game, did not hit their first 3-pointer until just under two minutes were left in the half. Harris added a second 3-pointer at the first half horn to make it 41-29.

DU went up 50-34 on Saunders' 1,000th and 1,000st career points which came on a steal and layup with 17:30 to go. Saunders then left the game with cramps and UMass immediately capitalized by going on a 9-0 run to pull within seven on a Gurley 3-pointer with 15:05 left.

Saunders, who reentered the game with 15:31 left, would not score the rest of the game.

UMass cut it to one on another Gurley 3-pointer and took its first lead at 60-58 on a Harris layup with 8:22 left.

Gurley's third 3-pointer of the half put UMass up 69-65, before Clark answered with a conventional three-point play to make it a one-point game.

Duquesne took a 70-69 lead on a Monteiro layup off a pass from Evans at the 2:39 mark of regulation.

Monteiro followed an Evans miss with a putback dunk to make it a three-point game with 1:42 to go.

Harris answered with his fourth 3-pointer of the game to tie it for the fourth time in the half at 72-72.

UMass had possession with 10 seconds left in regulation, but Harris missed a layup and Carter's follow rolled off the rim.

Massachusetts shot 48.4 percent in the second half (8-of-15 from 3-point) and 40.8 percent for the game. Duquesne shot 33.3 percent in the second half and 39.1 percent for the game. UM outrebounded DU 60-33.
