Duquesne vs. Fordham key players to watch
Duquesne
Dae Dae Grant: Duquesne is primarily a three-point shooting team and it's Dae Dae Grant who takes the majority of shots from beyond the arc. He's only hitting them at a rate of 33.1% which is a big reason for the Dukes' struggled in conference play. He's coming off a 31-point game against Saint Louis, which is hopefully a sign of things to come.
Fordham
Elijah Gray: It was Elijah Grey who had the most success against Duquesne in the last meeting between these two teams, scoring 19 points on 7-of-13 shooting while adding in eight rebounds. If the Rams want to upset the Dukes tonight, Gray is going to play a big role in that outcome.
Duquesne vs. Fordham prediction and pick
The biggest difference maker in this game is going to be the perimeter defense of the Dukes. Both of the teams in this game rank inside the top 80 in the country in three-point shot rate with at least 41% of their shots coming from beyond the arc.
Meanwhile, Duquesne is significantly better at defending the three. The Dukes are 86th in opponent three-point field goal percentage keeping teams to shooting 32.2% from three. Fordham, on the other hand, ranks 347th in that stat, allowing teams to shoot 37.4% from beyond the arc.
That alone is enough for me to lay 2.5-points with the Dukes in this A10 showdown.
