Atlantic 10 Tournament Prediction: La Salle-Duquesne
Duquesne is favored by 7.5 points in the market, and for good reason. The Dukes have already beaten La Salle by 17 this season, putting up an impressive 91 points. While it’s true that one game doesn’t necessarily indicate future success, Duquesne’s strengths line up well against La Salle’s weaknesses. As a guard-heavy team with the ability to score from behind the arc, the Dukes should be able to take advantage of La Salle’s lackluster defense.
On the other hand, La Salle will be playing its second game in as many days after defeating Rhode Island in the previous round. While the Explorers may have handled that test with relative ease, their offense is nothing to write home about. They are an average shooting team without any standout pace metrics, which doesn’t bode well for their chances of keeping up with Duquesne.
Duquesne will exploit La Salle’s weak defense early and often, leading to a comfortable victory and advancement to the next round of the Atlantic 10 tournament.
Ben’s College Basketball Best Bet: Duquesne -7.5 (-110 on DraftKings)
