Wofford vs. Saint Louis Prediction

I’m on Saint Louis here. I just think that the Billikens are the more complete and the better team here with the far more trustworthy offense. Both teams have issues on the defensive end of the floor and I feel like they cancel each other out, so weighing the talent and offenses side-by-side I have to roll with Saint Louis in this one.
