Final Dayton-Duquense Prediction & Pick

This could be a fairly close game. Dayton is more effecient on offense but does not score as much as Duquense. Still, the Dayton defense is much better. The issue in this game will come down to foul trouble and points at the line. If Dayton can get Duquense into foul trouble and get to the line, they could pull away. Duquense has been better at that as of late though, so expect a tighter affair with Dayton coming out with a low-scoring win.

Final Dayton-Duquense Prediction & Pick: Dayton ML (+102)
