William & Mary vs North Carolina Central Prediction

The North Carolina Central Eagles haven’t shown much to get excited about this season, and I doubt things are going to improve at the end of a back-to-back. The William & Mary Tribe nearly beat Winthrop yesterday as an 8-point underdog and probably should have considering they had a 12-point lead with less than 6 minutes to play. Winthrop hit a last-second shot to steal the win. The William & Mary Tribe should be eager to right a wrong, and they’ve been the better team overall. Give me William & Mary and whatever the line is.
