The Fordham Rams are traveling to the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York to face off against the Duquesne Dukes. The Fordham Rams are 9-22 on the year and 2-16 in conference play, following a 20 point win against the George Washington Colonials. The Duquesne Dukes are coming into this game off of an 11 point loss against the Richmond Spiders, dropping them to 21-9 on the year and 11-7 in conference play. The Fordham Rams enter this matchup averaging 58.1 points per game and also allow 62.0 points per game. The Rams are led by senior guard, Antwon Portley. Portley leads Fordham in scoring, averaging 10.4 points per game. Fordham played great in their last game and will have to do the same if they want to keep this game close.

The Duquesne Dukes are averaging 71.5 points per game and also allow 66.4 points per game. The Dukes are led by junior forward, Marcus Weathers. Weathers is leading Duquesne in scoring and rebounding, averaging 14.3 points per game and 8.1 rebounds per game. Weathers has been great all year and will need to keep it up to cover the spread.

In this matchup I like the Duquesne Dukes to win and cover the spread. The Dukes are a good defensive team, allowing 66.4 points per game. The Fordham Rams are terrible offensively, only scoring 58.1 points per game. The Dukes will hold Fordham to very few open looks and will cover the spread. Final score prediction, Duquesne Dukes will win and cover the spread 73-60.
