Matchup Breakdown
Duquesne’s offense is the headline. The Dukes average 86.1 points per game and shoot nearly 50% from the floor. Tarence Guinyard drives that efficiency, scoring 16.7 points per game and coming off a 22-point effort against VCU. When Duquesne is scoring early, they become difficult to slow because they do not rely on one shot type.
Saint Joseph’s wins differently. The Hawks rebound well, ranking inside the top 60 nationally, and they slow opponents by limiting second chances. Justice Ajogbor anchors the interior, while Jaiden Glover-Toscano provides steady scoring on the perimeter. If Saint Joseph’s controls the glass, this game stays within one possession late.
