The Winthrop Eagles take on the Duquesne Dukes for what’s expected to be one of the best NCAA basketball games today.
These two NCAA basketball teams are two of the pesky teams in all of college basketball, which should lead to an interesting game.
Duquesne and Winthrop still have great chances to come into this one and take care of business in what have been impressive starts to their seasons.
Winthrop is just 5-8 but has played well. Duquesne has been on fire with a Duquesne basketball record of 9-3 this season.
Let’s break this game down with our Winthrop vs Duquesne picks and find the edge that we’re looking for to win our bets.
Winthrop vs. Duquesne Odds
The NCAAB odds coming into this game are going to favor Duquesne by a somewhat huge spread at -10 for -110 odds.
With this game being at Duquesne and them simply being the better team to start the season, it certainly makes sense.
They come in at -425 on the moneyline, and the over/under is slotted at 150. Winthrop comes in at +10 for -110 odds and +340 on the moneyline.
One of those spreads is looking to be our college basketball picks and parlays for the day.

Winthrop vs. Duquesne Betting Preview
Duquesne Betting Preview
When looking at what Duquesne has done this season, it’s easy to see why people believe this team has a legitimate chance of climbing the college basketball standings and possibly winning their conference. What they do well is score the basketball at an elite level.
They come into this one with multiple games of scoring 70-plus points this season, which is certainly impressive in college basketball.
Duquesne’s Wins
Their wins on the year over:
- South Carolina State
- Colgate
- Ball State
- UCSB
- Indiana State
And others have been impressive to start the season.
While they haven’t played much of their Big East schedule just yet, the Duquesne Dukes have to feel good about what they’ve done with the first few games of their NCAAB schedule.
They have some impressive college basketball players, and the one guy I’m looking for is going to be Tre Williams.
He comes into this one after a 19-point performance and is averaging 8.7 points per game this season while shooting a highly efficient 53.5%.
Winthrop Betting Preview
The Winthrop basketball schedule hasn’t been kind to them this season, taking on teams like:
- LSU
- Penn State
- Auburn
- Coastal Carolina
And other high-level teams.
If they want to turn their season around and start winning games, Wednesday night could be a perfect time.
With the teams they’ve played, things are only going to get easier for them now as they take on some of the teams in their conference.
There are still teams they have to watch out for, but guys like Cory Hightower should be able to find a way to get the job done.
Hightower comes into this one after a 25-point performance to raise his season average to 14 points per game.
Expectations for Flint
The senior forward out of Flint, Michigan, has played well and will look to continue that on Wednesday against a tough Duquesne team. He’s important to remember with our Winthrop vs Duquesne picks.
Winthrop has also had some players on the college basketball injury report. They’re hopeful that these injuries will start to slow down and they can get ready to play their best brand of basketball.
Winthrop vs. Duquesne Betting Pick and Prediction
We’re finally here with our Winthrop vs Duquesne picks, and the best bet that we’re going to be taking for this game is going to be taking Duquesne at -10.
If they can come out and continue replicating what they’ve been able to do this season, this is the perfect opportunity for them to win this game by at least 10 points against a Winthrop team that hasn’t necessarily played too well for parts throughout the season. Back our favorite bet for -110 odds.
NCAAB Pick: Duquesne -10 (-110)
