Washington State vs. Duquesne Prediction: Dukes Favored, but Pass on Limited Evidence
Analysis updated November 10, 2026 at 7:28 AM CST
Duquesne is 2-0 and favored at home, while Washington State is 0-2. With only two games of evidence and no confirmed lineup or injury information, neither side offers a sound wager.
Early results favor Duquesne
Duquesne opens a five-game homestand against Washington State on Tuesday at UPMC Cooper Fieldhouse. Duquesne University Athletics reports that the Dukes beat Purdue Fort Wayne 78-71 and Central State 68-58, while the Cougars lost 76-61 to Davidson and 83-71 at High Point. Those results and the home court make Duquesne the likelier winner, but they don't establish that the Dukes should cover 4.5 points.
Washington State guards Lazarek Houston and Jaylen Harrell have provided most of the Cougars' early scoring. Houston averaged 17.0 points through two games, while Harrell averaged 15.5 and shot 13-for-20. Duquesne guard/forward Yoav Berman scored 22 against Central State and made 13 of 18 shots across the Dukes' first two games. That production identifies the main scoring threats, but the sample is too small to show a dependable matchup advantage.
The price calls for caution
Four Dukes, Ege Demir, Kerem Konan, Arness Lawson and Jackson Williams, received their first NCAA Division I starts in the opening two games. Duquesne's new starting group adds uncertainty to a -185 moneyline and a -4.5 spread, but uncertainty alone isn't a reason to bet Washington State.
Wise Guy Team, a betting-splits tracker, reports that 67% of DraftKings spread tickets backed Duquesne, while 79% of the reported spread money backed Washington State. The figures cover a tracked sportsbook sample rather than the entire market, and they don't replace missing evidence about confirmed lineups, injuries or broader team performance. Duquesne is the tentative winner, but the wager is a pass.
