College basketball odds, picks and predictions for Duquesne Dukes vs VCU Rams. NCAAB betting free pick and best bet analysis.
Both the Duquesne Dukes and the VCU Rams have made it to the Atlantic 10 Tournament Final on the backs of their defense, and Phil Naessens' college basketball betting picks don't expect either program to deviate from their strength today.Duquesne finished their season in sixth place in the A-10, and the college basketball odds list the team with the seventh-longest winning streak in college hoops as a short underdog.
One of the improvements has been on the defensive end of the floor. The Dukes boast the fourth-best scoring defense in the A-10; they’ve surrendered its season average of 67 points or fewer in six of their past seven games on a healthy diet of blocks, steals, and 13.2 forced turnovers they’ve turned into an average of 15.5 points.
That’s because VCU is a similar team to the Dukes — the Rams block shots and clean the glass. Their defense has allowed 72 points or fewer in six of their previous 10, and like Duquesne, they sometimes struggle to score the rock.The respective defenses from both programs have been spectacular this week — they’ve fueled each program's run to the final, and they’ll be a challenge for our offensive units to conquer today.
The Under is 4-1-0 in the Dukes' last five primarily because of their defense, and the Rams are 4-1-0 to the Under in their past five as well. Expect a slow-dragging, hard-fought battle with this one ending Under the number.This three-leg same-game parlay would be a nice way to end the week and correlates well with my best bet.
That was surprising, as the Dukes have been hot. They came into this tourney riding a four-game winning streak, including a 10-point away victory over VCU. Its defense came up big in their eight-point victory against Dayton and went 6-5-0 ATS as the away team.
