This is an 8* play on the Duquesne Dukes.

The Dukes are tied with St. Joe's for last place in the Atlantic-10 Conference, and they've lost four of their last five games. They have been pretty competitive during that span though, losing their last two games by a combined four points. They will play their final home game tonight against a St. Joe's team that has lost nine straight. The Hawks were throttled by a score of 68-49 in their final home game against Rhode Island. One of the more disturbing stats from that game was that they shot just 9-of-20 (45 percent) from the free throw line. Missing their leading scorer Shavar Newkirk and second leading scorer and starting PG Lamarr Kimble has taken it's toll on the Hawks. Without their two most talented players, they've been getting killed on the boards, and haven't shot the ball well at all. This looks like a tough spot with not much motivation here on the road at the end of the season.

Take DUQ.
