The Duquesne Dukes of the Atlantic 10 Conference will go against the UMass Minutemen of the Atlantic 10 Conference in NCAAB action in William D. Mullins Memorial Center Amherst, MA, on Saturday, January 8, 2022, at 12:00 PM (EST).

This year, the Duquesne Dukes are yet to play an Atlantic 10 league game. They have a 5-7 overall record heading into their game against UMass. The problem is that they have not played a game in a long time.

Their last match was on December 19th, when they defeated UC Irvine 76-54. COVID caused their past four matches to be canceled or postponed. They were set to face George Mason and George Washington this week, but both games were canceled. This one, hopefully, will work out.

The Dukes are healthy going into this match, with just Rodney Gunn out with an ankle ailment. As far as we know, there are zero COVID cases, thus this game appears to be a go.

Leon Ayers, who produces 12.9 points per game, leads the Dukes. Kevin Easley leads the squad with 12.8 points and 6.6 rebounds per game. With 10.9 points per game, Tre Williams and Primo Spears are the other two double-figure scorers. The Dukes score 70 points per game on average and allow 71.2 points per game on average.

The University of Duquesne Dukes is 2-4 ATS in their last 6 matches.

Duquesne Dukes vs UMass Minutemen. The NCAAB pick for this game is the UMass Minutemen. Duquesne did not play since December 19, so they’ll be a touch rusty. They’re in fantastic health, which is great, but UMass isn’t.

TJ Weeks and Preston Santos are doubtful due to sickness, while Dibaji Walker is out for the season, and Javohn Garcia is out due to academic obligations. However, because UMass is the better team and they are playing at home, they should comfortably win this game.

UMass is one of the finest and most efficient three-point shooting teams in the country, and the Dukes’ defense of the three-point shot is not their strong suit. UMass will win and cover the ATS to a predicted score of 79-71.
