Blizzard strands Duquesne team on highway

Duquesne coach Jim Ferry celebrated his 300th career win on Friday at George Mason, an 86-75 win, but the Dukes never made it back to celebrate that evening because of the heavy snowfall associated with Winter Storm Jonas.

The Dukes' Twitter account posted this photo of the team stranded in at least a foot of snow on the Pennsylvania turnpike.
