William & Mary vs. North Carolina A&T Prediction
I’m taking the under here. I just frankly don’t see how we get to a total in the 140s with two of the worst offenses in the CAA. These two are second-worst and worst in the conference in terms of offensive efficiency, and even though the defensive numbers on both sides are bad, I can’t trust either side to do enough scoring to get us even close to this number. Give me the under here.
