Hampton vs. Providence Prediction

I’m on the under here. I think Providence’s defense is legit, and Hampton is still one of the worst offensive teams in the country, don’t get blinded by numbers against two mediocre opponents. The Friars, on the other hand, haven’t been lighting the scoreboards on fire themselves either, and I think that Providence could stifle the Pirates in this one while being held in check themselves. Give me the under here.
