Who's Playing
Northeastern @ Duquesne
Current Records: Northeastern 1-2; Duquesne 1-2
What to Know
The Duquesne Dukes will take on the Northeastern Huskies at 5:45 p.m. ET Friday at Virgin Islands Sport & Fitness Center. Northeastern will be strutting in after a win while the Dukes will be stumbling in from a defeat.
It was close but no cigar for Duquesne as they fell 63-59 to the Weber State Wildcats on Monday.
Speaking of close games: the Huskies escaped with a win on Tuesday against the Boston University Terriers by the margin of a single free throw, 49-48.
Barring any buzzer beaters, Duquesne is expected to win a tight contest. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past two games, so buyers beware.
Duquesne and Northeastern now sit at an identical 1-2. A couple offensive numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: The Dukes have only been able to knock down 37.60% percent of their shots, which is the 18th lowest field goal percentage in college basketball. The Huskies have experienced some struggles of their own as they are stumbling into the matchup with the seventh fewest points per game in college basketball, having accrued only 57 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
