They should be able to do what they like to do here against Western Michigan, and that is to get out in the open court and run. This is a quick, small team that basically plays a four-guard offense that has four players scoring in double-figures per game. Western Michigan has really struggled, and owns just a single win on the season vs. Div-1 competition. They couldn't manage a win vs. South Dakota as they dropped a 6-point decision, and haven't come within 5 in any of their seven losses, so they aren't just missing they’re getting beat. They have allowed 80+ in five of their nine games, and Duquesne is going to stretch them out here and get some easy buckets. The Broncos aren't good enough to be a momentum team, and they have been a discouraging 8-21-1 ATS in their last 30 following an ATS win. The Dukes find comfort off a three game or longer home stand when taking to the road with a 12-4 ATS mark in their last 16.
