Associated Press - At Duquesne University, this was another routine Saturday at Rooney Field. Football spectators cheered at the game against Sacred Heart, which the Dukes won 24-21. Exuberant cheerleaders rallied the crowd and players pounded each other on the field.

But what happened early Sept. 17 a few yards from the gridiron was not forgotten.

A few minutes before kickoff, players, parents and students observed what the university called "a moment of reflection" to honor the five basketball players shot on campus while walking back from a dance. All Duquesne athletes, including the football players on Saturday, now wear white wristbands with the number 5 printed in black.
