Dayton vs Duquesne Stats

Dayton Flyers

The Dayton Flyers, favored as the premier team in the A-10 conference, are struggling with a 2-3 record. Their recent win over Loyola-Chicago was a close call, raising concerns about their performance. A key issue is their defense, allowing an average of 75.2 points per game against conference rivals. On offense, the Flyers score an average of 75.7 points per game, with Nate Santos leading the team. However, their shooting percentages drop on the road.

Their statistics show room for improvement in both offense and defense.

Duquesne Dukes Analysis

The Duquesne Dukes are currently 4-1 in the A-10 conference, only half a game behind the top spot. Known for their slow pace of play, they have a strong defense that limits opponents to 65.3 points per game and forces turnovers. However, they struggle to defend against three-point shots and give up offensive rebounds and free throw attempts. Offensively, they average fewer than 70 points per game but have been improving in recent games, shooting decent percentages from the field and three-point range. Their upcoming matchup against the Flyers will test their defensive capabilities and ability to score over 70 points for the fifth consecutive game. Additionally, the Dukes have a power ranking of 34 and rank #302 in offense and #41 in defense.
