St. Bonaventure at Duquesne

A couple of surprise teams in the Atlantic-10 do battle today as the St. Bonaventure Bonnies at a robust 12-3 head to Pittsburgh, to take on the Duquense Dukes. It is pretty clear the Dukes have a good, but misleading record, as the competition has been soft, and they have managed just 1 win in their last 5, vs lowly St. Louis, as the competition gets ratcheted up. St. Bonaventure has won 9 of their last 10, and enter on a 5 game winning streak, is a very competent, and confident squad right now. They won convincingly in their last 2 games on the road at George Mason, and Umass, and should grab another road win in this one. Bonnies have eclipsed the 50% mark from the field in 3 of their last 5 games, while the Dukes, with more competitive games, has cracked the 40% mark just 1 time in their last 6, the difference maker here. Make the play on St. Bonaventure.
