The Duquesne Dukes and the Fordham Rams meet in college basketball action from the Rose Hill Gym on Wednesday night.

The Duquesne Dukes will look to build on their third straight win after a 78-74 win over UMass in their last matchup. Kevin Easley leads the Dukes in scoring with 12.6 PPG with 6.4 RPG as well while Leon Ayers III has 12.5 PPG with 4.8 RPG. Tre Williams has 10.4 PPG with a team-high 6.5 RPG while Amir Spears has 11.7 PPG and a team-high 2.5 APG as well this season. As a team, Duquesne is averaging 70.6 PPG on 41.9% shooting from the field, 33% from three and 70.5% from the foul line while allowing 71.4 PPG on 46% shooting from the field and 36.7% from three this season.

The Fordham Rams will try to build on a 69-61 win over La Salle, alternating wins and losses in each of their last five games. Antonio Daye Jr. leads the Rams in scoring with 16.8 PPG and in assists with 3.2 APG while Darius Quisenberry has 16.5 PPG with 4.5 RPG and Chuba Ohams has 14.5 PPG with a team-high 11.3 RPG, averaging a double-double per game to lead the Rams on the glass and cap off the trio of double-digit scorers for Fordham up to this point in the season. As a team, Fordham is averaging 72.8 PPG on 41.8% shooting from the field, 30.3% from three and 73.2% from the foul line while allowing 68.2 PPG on 42.4% shooting from the field and 29.8% from three this season.

Duquesne is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as a favorite and 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games as a road favorite while the over is 8-2 in their last 10 games overall. Fordham is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games overall and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home games while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 games as an underdog.

I get the case to be made either way here, but I’m going to side with Fordham. The road team has dominated this series, covering in 19 of the last 26 meetings, but Fordham’s played their best at home this season and side by side, the Rams are the better teams on both sides of the ball, especially on defense and I think they find a way to get a win and cover here.
