Duquesne Dukes vs. Villanova Wildcats Prediction

I’m on Duquesne and the points in this one. I just think this is a case of too many points being given to Villanova based on name brand. I think that the Wildcats are the better team, but Duquesne has a lot going for them as well in this matchup and I think they hang around here. Give me the Dukes and the points here.
