Duquesne University will play a nationally televised basketball game at powerhouse Duke on Nov. 28, believed to be the Dukes' first such TV game in at least a dozen years.

The game on the day after Thanksgiving will be aired by ESPN2.

Duquesne's nonconference road schedule includes games against western Pennsylvania opponents Pitt, Robert Morris and St. Francis, plus South Carolina Upstate and Radford.

The Dukes' home games against non-Atlantic 10 teams are West Virginia, Bowling Green, Furman, High Point, N.C. Central, Oakland (Mich.) and Rice.

Duquesne opens the season at home Nov. 14 against High Point.

Also, Duquesne coach Ron Everhart was rewarded for turning around one of the nation's worst Division I programs in only two seasons, signing a three-year contract extension Wednesday that runs through the 2013-14 season.
