The Cougars posted a pretty solid 13-4 run to start the year, then lost to Towson and UNC Wilmington (twice) over the next five games. Charleston would then take wins over William & Mary, North Carolina A&T, Drexel, Northeastern and William & Mary again in the next five outings.

ANDREW’S FREE CHARLESTON VS TOWSON PREDICTION
I’ll lean toward Charleston here, but we should have a good matchup regardless. The Cougars shot very well (51.4 percent) in their latest win over Delaware, notching 39 rebounds, 20 team assists and just seven turnovers along the way. Charleston has scored 77 or more points in five of the six games during this current win streak.
The Cougars have their work cut out for them after falling 82-78 at home the last time these teams met up back on January 18. Charleston gave up 51.7 percent shooting and hit just 39.7 percent themselves in the defeat, posting just seven assists along the way. The Cougars are playing pretty well since then though, and I think they’ve got a solid shot at a cover/win if all goes well.
