T.M. Selection: Davidson.

I like Davidson to cover the spread against Duquesne in this game on Monday. Davidson just lost their most recent game to Rhode Island but that game was on the road and they had won 4 games in a row before that loss. Davidson has looked a lot better in their home games lately than in their road games and I think they will play a lot better in this game. They are leading their conference with a 10-2 record in conference play and they have been a stout 9-1 on their home court this year. Their previous 3 home wins in conference play were all by 10 points or less but they were also all north of 7 points and I think Davidson should be able to handle Duquesne, who is the worst team in the conference at the moment, pretty easily on their home court here. This is still the same team that put together a 15 game win streak earlier this year and right now they are in the driver seat since they have a clear path to their conference title. I expect them to beat up on a bad team here on their home court and take advantage of what should be an easy conference win for them. Duquesne not only has the worst overall record in their conference, but they are also in last place with a 1-9 record in conference play and they have been just as bad in road games winning 1/7 this year. They won their very 1st game in conference play this year but have lost 9 in a row now and haven't been able to pick up another conference win this year. Duquesne has been blown out in their previous 3 road games and I think they won't be able to match up with Davidson in this game. I like Davidson to cover the spread here.

T.M. Prediction: 79-57 Davidson.
