Randy’s Free Pick

The La Salle Explorers can’t be trusted against decent teams, as they get outscored on the year, and they only win at home by an average of 1 point. The Duquesne Dukes have been easily more consistent, and they win in the favorite role by an average of 7.4 points. We’re only laying a bucket. Give me Duquesne.
