Duquesne Dukes

In the 2023-24 season, Duquesne has experienced a slow start following the retirement of head coach Keith Dambrot, who led them to an A-10 Championship and an NCAA tournament win. Assistant coach Dru Joyce III has taken over the team, which has lost key players and returned only two starters. Despite bringing in new players through the transfer portal, the Dukes have struggled in their first two games, falling to both Princeton and Lipscomb. Currently, the team has two double-digit scorers in Jahsean Corbett and Kareem Rozier. They are averaging 70 points per game while shooting 43.3% from the field, 32.6% from three-point range, and 59.5% from the free-throw line. The team is committing more turnovers than assists. Despite some challenges, there are promising signs, such as their rebounding numbers and defensive efforts. The team is currently ranked 289th in offense and 256th in defense, with a 0-2 record for the season.

DePaul Blue Demons Analysis

DePaul Blue Demons has started the season with a strong 3-0 record, showing significant improvement from their dismal performance last year. The team has a new coach and revamped roster, with several players scoring in double digits. They are currently ranked #62 for offense, averaging 89 points per game, and #131 for defense, giving up an average of 67 points per game. Although they have been dominant against weaker opponents, turnovers remain a concern. Defensively, they have been solid, particularly in defending against three pointers. Overall, DePaul's performance so far indicates a promising season ahead.

DePaul's Improved Performance and Betting Opportunity: Don't Underestimate Their Potential

DePaul has shown significant improvement this season, evident through their strong performance in the past few games. The team has been consistently favored and has covered the spread in their recent match-ups. Despite this, the betting public has yet to fully recognize DePaul's upgraded roster and potential for success. With impressive statistics, including a 49.2% shooting accuracy and an average of 89 points per game, the team's offensive capabilities are undeniable. Additionally, the support from a dedicated crowd and recent investments in new facilities have further enhanced the program's outlook. Coach Holtmann, with his experience at Ohio State, understands the importance of sustaining this positive momentum. Considering these factors, betting on DePaul to cover the 4-point spread in the upcoming game seems like a wise decision. It is advisable to place your bet early, as the line is expected to shift in DePaul's favor.
