Duquesne at Pittsburgh

Duquense has made a quick resurgence after all the trouble this program went through just a couple years ago. This is a young team, with 11 freshman and sophomores. Everhart showed how quickly he can turn a program around and the Dukes like to get up and down the floor and play a different game and are difficult to prepare for, they will enter this contest at 4-1. Pitt has opened at a flawless 7-0,and are amongst the 10-15 teams that have Final Four potential as we head into December. Pitt hasn't been the "blowout" type of team as they dropped their -20 big chalk game to the line this year and have won each of their last three by 14. The Dukes gave the Panthers a handful last year, before falling by 5, and with this game being a bigger game for the Dukes as it is a battle of Pittsburgh, I expect them to play their hearts out and stay within the number here again.
