Hampton faces Charleston Southern on Monday, December 21st at Buccaneer Fieldhouse for an NCAA Big South matchup. 

Hampton is coming off an 81-76 loss to Howard in its last game on the road on December 18th. For many teams in Division 1 college basketball, a five-point loss to Howard would be an embarrassment. However, Hampton is a key exception considering the Pirates opened as underdogs and lost to Howard last season as well. Hampton played very well on the defensive side in the first half of that game but completely fell apart on both sides of the ball in the second half. A halftime 10-point lead was blown and Hampton was dealt its fourth-straight loss. Hampton's leading scorer so far this season has been G Davion Warren, who has scored 15.8 points per game for the Pirates this season. Hampton as a team has scored 68.8 points per game and has allowed 77.8 points per game to its opponents as well. 

Charleston Southern is coming off a 94-59 win over Carver College in its last game at home on December 8th. Charleston Southern has played three Division 1 schools this season but has lost all three of those games. Charleston Southern's losses have been to NC State, Eastern Kentucky, and North Carolina A&T, so they are not ugly losses. Charleston Southern has not played in almost two weeks, which could be an issue in its first conference game of the season. Charleston Southern's leading scorer so far this season has been G Ja'Quavian Florence, who has scored 15.0 points per game for the Bucs. As a team, Charleston Southern has scored 67.0 points per game and has allowed 71.0 points per game to its opponents this season. 

Charleston Southern opens as a 6-point favorite and the total is set at 144.5. I like Charleston Southern to win this game, but I do think six is too many to lay here. Hampton is hit or miss behind the three-point line, but if the Pirates make their shots, they have a chance to win this game outright. I will take Hampton and the points in what should be an ugly game overall. 

The pick in this article is the opinion of the writer, not a PickDawgz site consensus.
