St. Bonaventure vs. Duquesne Prediction

I’m on the Bonnies here. St. Bonaventure went through a mini two-game skid but got back on track and while Duquesne’s run to get back to where they are now after such a horrendous start to the year is nice to see, I don’t know if it can continue here when the Bonnies are the clear better team by a fair margin. Duquesne has had their moments but at a short price given the Bonnies’ solid run of form this entire season and how it just seems to keep rolling on, I have to do the same and back the Bonnies to get it done here.
