T.M. Selection: St. Bonaventure.

I like St. Bonaventure to cover the spread against Duquesne in this game on Friday. St. Bonaventure just got destroyed by Dayton in their most recent game, losing it by 18 points but I think they will put up a much better performance here. I think after losing like that they are going to be due to get 1 back here and Duquesne is nowhere near as tough as some of the teams they have had to face in their previous 5 games. St. Bonaventure has 2 wins in their previous 5 but their 3 losses were against UConn, Virginia Tech, and Dayton who are all good teams or at least play in a much stronger conference if you're VT. Duquesne has lost 2 games in a row and their most recent game was a loss at home by 20 points to Dayton. Duquesne is not a good team this year and I don't think they are going to recover after a loss like that as easily as a team like St. Bonaventure would. Duquesne has a record below .500 this year and even their home record sits below .500 too. They are used to losing games by large amounts and they have done it to worse teams this year. I think St. Bonaventure is due for a bounce back here and they should have no trouble adding to their lead in this game. They are the better team that has been stumbling lately due to a tougher schedule but now they have a few weaker teams coming up and I think they are going to take advantage of this opportunity to get some easy conference wins. I like St. Bonaventure to cover the spread in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 79-69 St. Bonaventure.
