Gunman Opens Fire at Duquesne Players: A school dance-turned-tragedy has left five Duquesne players shot, including one in critical condition and another in serious condition. When the gunman had caused some trouble at the dance, the players tried to squash the problems. But the gunman, who school officials said is not a student, returned later with other non-students and found the players outside a dormitory. The players tried to reason with the man and his cohorts, but the man opened fire, critically injuring Sam Ashaolu and seriously injuring Stuard Balbonado. He also shot fellow transfers Kojo Mensah and Shawn James and returning player Aaron Jackson. Police are searching for the gunman and his accomplices and have increased security on Duquesne’s campus.

The Seven C’s of Leadership
Former college basketball coach Mike Jarvis is back with a new book, The Seven C's of Leadership.
"Every one of us has leadership within us and this book offers fascinating principals that work in any setting—from the locker room to the executive board room. In The Seven C's of Leadership, Coach Jarvis lays out the essential ingredients of leadership."
-Jay Wright, NCAA Championship Men’s Basketball Coach, Villanova University
"At a time in America when we are witnessing an epidemic of opioid addictions and deaths, along with suicides, we need Coach Jarvis' Seven C's of Leadership – grounded in the power of Christ alone where we should all make our stand.”
-Lietenant Colonel Allen B. West (U.S. Army, Retired), Bronze Star recipient, and Member 112th U.S. Congress
"The Seven C's of Leadership is a slam dunk! Coach Jarvis has always been an outstanding leader because he has the ability to decipher what true leadership really means.”
-Dale Brown, Head Men’s Basketball Coach, LSU, 1972-1997, Member of the College Basketball Hall of Fame, and Shaquille O’Neal’s college coach
