The five Duquesne men's basketball players were shot early Sunday morning after walking away from a woman and her disgruntled boyfriend, neither of whom were students at the Pittsburgh campus, one of the players who was shot told ESPN.com.

Shawn James, who led the country in shot blocking last season at Northeastern, told ESPN.com Monday morning by phone from his dorm room that he and his teammates were shot after they headed back to their dorms following a Black Student Union dance event on campus.
