I get Richmond preferred here as the higher seed with the more marquee wins on their résumé up to this point, but the spiders are also coming on a downturn in these after losing to Saint Louis and then Saint Joseph to end the year. Now they have to fight a Duquesne team that hooked them up a few weeks ago and was a masking machine for the past month and a bit too. Duquesne could win this title right away, but I’ll get the points safe.
