Dayton is coming into this game with a 12-2 record this season and they have been playing very well in their recent games. They only have 2 losses this season which were both against very good teams as they lost on the road to Northwestern and at a neutral location against Houston. They have been great since that last loss against Houston as they have won their last 9 straight games. They have won a majority of their games on this 9 game win streak by 10+ points and they are also 2-0 in their conference. They have played 3 road games this season with 1 loss coming against Northwestern in their 1st road game of the year, but they have won their last 2 straight on the road against some good teams in SMU and Davidson. They are going up against a Duquesne team that is 9-5 this season and has not been playing well in their recent games. They have lost their last 2 straight as well as 3 of their last 4 games with their only win in that span coming at home against a school who is not in Division I. They are also 0-2 in the conference with road losses against UMass and Loyola Chicago. Duquesne has been much better at home this season but they have not played a very tough schedule like Dayton has and Dayton was already a great team in the conference last season, now Dayton has improved much more this season as well. Dayton is on fire right now and they are going to win this game against the weaker team in the conference. Dayton will cover the spread in this game.
