ST. LOUIS -- The longest winning streak in Saint Louis history ended Thursday night with a surprising loss at home to Duquesne. That was hardly the most disappointing part of it as far as forward Dwayne Evans was concerned. "The streak didnt really mean much to us," Evans said. "Its a tough loss because theres a championship on the line, not just because it broke the streak." Micah Mason had 22 points and Jerry Jones added 19, leading Duquesne to a 71-64 victory. Saint Louis (25-3, 12-1 Atlantic 10) had won 19 straight since dropping a 70-65 decision on Dec. 1 to unbeaten Wichita State, now ranked No. 2 in the country. With a win, the Billikens could have clinched at least a tie for the Atlantic 10 regular-season title. But it was the Dukes who looked like title contenders Thursday. "They did a really nice job and we just didnt play well enough," Saint Louis coach Jim Crews said. "Weve played well and weve been fortunate. Tonight, we didnt play well enough. "We have no license that were going to win. One teams going to win and one teams going to lose. Whoever plays the best (wins). Thats how it is, and they played better than us." Mason, who entered leading the nation in 3-point shooting percentage (.554), hit four of five from behind the arc for Duquesne (12-15, 4-10), which beat a top-10 opponent on the road for the first time since defeating No. 6 Bradley 73-72 on March 5, 1962. Duquesne improved to 5-28 on the road against top 10 teams. The Dukes, who were 14-point underdogs, are 25-55 overall against teams ranked in the top 10. Although it looked like a mismatch on paper, Jones said he and the Dukes could feel this one coming. "Really, this team was ready to get beat and I just wanted to be a part of it and so did everybody else," he said. Evans had 10 points and 12 rebounds for Saint Louis. Mike McCall Jr. led the Billikens with 18 points, while Jordair Jett (13 points) and Rob Loe (12 points) also were in double digits. Saint Louis will try to rebound Saturday when it visits VCU. Crew said the team will not vary its approach after losing for the first time in nearly three months. "We do the same thing whether we win or lose," he said. "We just try to clean up what we did wrong. We address those things we did wrong, we keep working on our fundamentals and try to get better and move on with the next team. It doesnt make a difference win or lose. Our routine is pretty much the same." The Billikens appeared to be in good shape after Jetts layup with 13:44 remaining gave them a 42-35 lead. But the Dukes took command with an 18-2 run capped by a 3-pointer and then a layup by Jones that made it 53-44 with 7:41 left. Saint Louis fought back and had a chance to cut it to a one-possession game with under a minute remaining. Loe, however, missed a free throw and that led to Jones layup at the other end with 52 seconds left that made it 63-57. The Dukes played Saint Louis tough in their first meeting, losing 76-72 at home on Jan. 22. Duquesne was up for the challenge again Thursday and showed it early as Mason hit his first two shots from behind the arc to help the Dukes grab a 13-8 advantage. Mason was called for his second foul shortly thereafter and went to the bench, and the Billikens began to take advantage of his absence. Saint Louis went 1 for 7 from 3-point range in the first half, but Jake Barnetts 3 with 44 seconds left gave the Billikens a 29-25 halftime lead. Nike VaporMax Plus Bordeaux Wine Rosse Uomo Scarpe .

Following a free transfer from Real Madrid on Sunday, Milan announced on its website that the club reached a deal with the 2007 FIFA world player of the year early Monday. Financial terms were not disclosed but the Gazzetta dello Sport reported that it was a two-year deal worth (euro)4 million ($5.3 million) per season plus bonuses -- a significant drop from the (euro)10 million ($13.2 million) Kaka earned with Madrid. "Kaka made a big (sacrifice) to return here, showing a lot of affection for our shirt," Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani said. The 31-year-old Kaka wants to play for Brazil at next years World Cup in his home country and should feature more at Milan. "Milan is ideal for me," Kaka told Milan Channel. "I always find great champions here. Before there was Pippo Inzaghi now theres (Mario) Balotelli. I hope to experience great joys with Mario. "I really want to play," Kaka added. "This is a special year for me because the World Cup is coming up but now Ive got to do well with Milan. I was very sorry to leave but now its even more special to come back." Elsewhere, a potential three-way swap involving forwards Fabio Quagliarellla of Juventus, Alberto Gilardino of Genoa and Marco Borriello of Roma fell through.dddddddddddd Although Juventus announced two deals with Serie A debutante Sassuolo. Midfielder Luca Marrone was sent to the promoted club in a (euro)9 million ($11.9 million) transfer but Juventus then purchased half of his rights. Forward Domenico Berardi, meanwhile, was acquired by Juventus for (euro)9 million ($11.9 million) but he will stay with Sassuolo on loan this season after his rights were also split between the two clubs. In another move, Inter Milan loaned midfielder Joel Obi to Parma. Kaka joined Madrid from Milan in 2009 for (euro)65 million ($92 million). But after injuring his left knee, he was never able to establish himself as a first-choice player in Spain. Kaka did not play in an official match with Madrid after the recent arrival of Carlo Ancelotti, who coached him during his best seasons at Milan. Kaka was the worlds top player when he led Milan to the Champions League title in 2007, when he also helped the Rossoneri win the UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup. While he doesnt seem to be the player he once was, Kaka should still be an able replacement for Kevin-Prince Boateng, who transferred from Milan to Schalke last week. He could line up either in attack alongside Mario Balotelli or share playmaker duties with Riccardo Montolivo. ' ' '
