Duquesne vs. Old Dominion Prediction

I’m on the under here. I want to lean towards Old Dominion, but the Monarchs haven’t been anything to write home about this season. Both of these teams are struggling to score, and while both have frailties on defense, I don’t think either side is good enough to take advantage of those weaknesses. Give me the under in a 40-minute brickfest.
