Pick
Both of these teams were able to pull off an upset in their last game and they are only two wins away from making the NCAA Tournament. Wofford won both meetings during the regular season by scores of 85-80 and 86-74. Both teams have very similar metrics, so we should be in for a great game. Wofford has won four of their last five games and I like them in this matchup.
