Umass 6-1 & 5-2 ATS at home. KenPom has Duquesne ranked higher which I don’t agree with. Both teams 9-3 Umass features traditional frontliners which I love. 6’10” center transfer Josh Cohen (18 ppg) & 6’8” power forward Matt Cross (16.7 ppg) will provide scoring down low especially in front of their home crowd.
Duquesne mainly relays on guards Dae Dae Grant & Jimmy Clark III who combined take nearly half of the teams shots every night. I’m gonna go with the higher % style of offense in this game & take Umass on a very short number. I think it should -3.5 so in my eyes I have an 2 point advantage on “low juice”.
Take the Minutemen & lay the -1 good luck if you tail .
