They have been great at home this season with a 9-1 record and they have won their last 2 games at home but only by single digits. They have not been winning by a lot in their recent games as they have 7 wins by single digits and 2 losses in their last 9 games. They are going up against a Duquesne team that is currently the worst team in the A10 with the worst overall record at 6-16 and the worst conference record at 1-9. They have struggled a lot on the road this season as well and they are only 1-6 in those games. They have lost 9 games straight coming into this one and a majority of those losses have come by double digits. Davidson has been very good this season and although they have been winning closer games recently, Duquesne has been so bad that Davidson should be able to win this game by double digits here at home.
