The Duquesne Dukes played George Mason Friday night and won 89-75. The team seemed pretty elated to get a big win and they were excited to get back home and warm up from the cold weather.
However, they ran into some trouble as Winter Storm Jonas took a big toll on them. The team got stuck on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, but they seemed to make the most of it by having some fun.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. #DUQMBB must vote someone off the bus. Who should it be? #DUQSurvivor

They even took a Twitter poll on who they should make push the bus out of the snow. Spoiler alert, the walk-ons lost the vote.
Who should push the bus?

However, the fun ended after the team quickly realized that they may be spending the whole weekend in a bus.
It is becoming increasingly unlikely that #DUQMBB will be able to leave the Turnpike tonight. Preparing for another night on the bus.

We wish the Dukes the best of luck as they try to make their way home. Let’s hope they get some help pretty soon.
