At the A.J. Palumbo Center this year, Duquesne is 9-2. Meanwhile, St. Joseph's enters this one on a six-game win streak. Lay the point on the Dukes stopping the Hawks tonight.
St. Joseph's beat Duquesne by 48 points last season, but this game comes in a tricky situation. St. Joseph's is coming off a well-executed performance in a huge game against Villanova just two days ago and this will be the third game in six days for the Hawks.
Duquesne is coming off an embarrassing loss to St. Bonaventure, making this a critical game for the Dukes. In each of the last two games Duquesne has shot less than 37 percent from the field, well below the season average for a decent offensive team that has posted superior numbers to St. Joseph's on the season.
This year the Dukes are currently 9-2 in home games with the losses both coming against high quality opponents. St. Joseph's has won six in a row but the schedule has been very light and the numbers have not been that strong. Look for Duquesne to halt the win streak for the Hawks.
