Duquesne Dukes vs. Kentucky Wildcats: Betting Odds

Team	Moneyline	Spread	Over/Under
Duquesne Dukes	-1000	+18 (-110)	O 143.5 (-110)
Kentucky Wildcats	+1800	-18 (-110)	U 143.5 (-110)

The Dukes started off the new season with a thumping win over the Montana Grizzlies (91-63). This clearly shows the losing streak the team has rejected since last season and with what mentality they have come into the new season.

At halftime, the team led by a healthy margin of 45-19. Their shooting that night was impeccable, making baskets at 64.4 from the floor. They shot 10 out of 24 threes that night, creating the difference between the two teams.

Another reason for Duquesne's turnaround is the influx of new players. They have 10 new players this time after finishing 1-16 in their conference last season, provoking the management to make the necessary changes. Their head coach, Keith Dambrot, is in his sixth year with Duquesne and is more confident than ever about his team's chances.

Both teams met only once back in 2016 when Kentucky defeated Duquesne 93-59. They are still the heavy favorites but it will be interesting to see how much the away team has improved from last season and how much of an impact the new recruitment can make against a strong team.
