Both schools have decided to figure things out late in the season, and this should make for a good contest. Davidson will have the added motive of winning their home finale and avenging a January loss, but the underdog margin looks appealing for the Colonials. We also won’t have too many more opportunities to experience the James Bishop show, and with the senior guard scoring at a very high rate right now, George Washington might be worth a look here in Carolina. Davidson may win this game, but the backcourt of GWU is going to give them a good run, so spot them the points for this Atlantic 10 matchup.
