Duquesne vs Davidson Prediction
Davidson comes into this matchup after losing three of their last four games, but they will be at home here. The Wildcats are shooting 47% from the field, but they have scored 63 points or fewer in three of their last four. Duquesne has split their last four games and they are shooting 51% from the field. The Dukes are a very high scoring team, as they have scored 75+ in four of their last five, but they don’t play much defense. I think this is a good spot for Davidson to find some offense, so I like the over here.
