St. Bonaventure Bonnies vs. Duquesne Dukes Prediction

I’m on the Dukes here. I think St. Bonaventure is a bit of a fraud here, as this isn’t the same Bonnies team from past seasons that usually holds their own in A-10 play and their lone win has been against Loyola Chicago, who has been a dumpster fire. Duquesne’s played tough competition at home and I think they’re battle tested enough to grab the win here. Give me Duquesne.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Duquesne -3.5
