Dayton Flyers at Duquesne Dukes Prediction
When you back Dayton in a conference match you can expect to pay a premium as they are one of the most recognized names in the Atlantic-10. Furthermore, Dayton is regarded as a perennial contender for March Madness when it concerns mid-major programs. After all, the Flyers have made four consecutive appearances in the Men’s Basketball Tournament and are back-to-back regular season champions of the Atlantic 10. Duquesne has made only five Men’s Basketball Tournament appearances in program history and has not been to the big dance in 40 years. Though Duquesne has the better record and hosting the match, all of the aforementioned historical anecdotes make Dayton a popular public choice by virtue of a recency bias alone.
The fact remains though that home court advantage is a big part of the college hoops game. Dayton is winless in its two trips on the road this year whilst the Dukes have won their last six at home. When you couple this with the fact Duquesne is the more physical team on the boards, commits less turnovers, and has a deeper bench compared to Dayton, the scenario has all the makings for Duquesne to not only cover here but orchestrate an outright upset.
Free Pick:
Take Duquesne +3.5
