Milwaukee vs. Duquesne Prediction

I’m with Milwaukee here. I know Duquesne won’t continue to struggle like this and we have to remember this was an NCAA tournament team a year ago. However, sometimes there’s a hangover or a slow start that’s hard to overcome and I just don’t think that Duquesne is going to be able to get past that just yet. I think that Milwaukee’s in a better place right now especially from a talent perspective and I think the Panthers get the cover on the road here.
