What to Know
The Duquesne Dukes and the BYU Cougars are set to clash at 12:40 p.m. ET on Thursday at CHI Health Center Omaha in an Atlantic 10 postseason contest. Duquesne will be looking to extend their current eight-game winning streak.
Winning is just a little bit easier when you outrebound your opponent 18 to 8 on the offensive boards, a fact Duquesne proved on Sunday. They walked away with a 57-51 victory over the Rams.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Duquesne to victory, but perhaps none more so than Fousseyni Drame, who scored six points along with 12 rebounds. Drame didn’t help Duquesne’s cause all that much against St. Bona. on Saturday but the same can’t be said for this game.
Meanwhile, the point spread may have favored BYU last Thursday, but the final result did not. They took a 81-67 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Red Raiders.
The Dukes are on a roll lately: they’ve won ten of their last 11 games, which provided a nice bump to their 23-11 record this season. As for the Cougars, their loss dropped their record down to 23-10.
Duquesne is hoping to beat the odds on Thursday, as the experts think they’re headed for a loss. They might be worth a quick bet since they’ve covered the spread the last four times they’ve played.
