VMI vs. UNC-Greensboro Prediction
I’m on UNC-Greensboro here. The Spartans are the far better team in this matchup and VMI has been getting crushed without hesitation for the better part of the season. This is a hefty number, but VMI’s been beat by more against less this season. Give me the Spartans here.
