South Carolina Upstate vs High Point Prediction
High Point already beat South Carolina Upstate by nine points last month and should win by an even larger margin at home where it’s 15-1 SU. South Carolina Upstate is a bad team on both ends of the floor and is 12-14 ATS on the season despite being big underdogs nightly. High Point is the team to beat in the Big South and has covered four straight games as well. Massive number but for good reason. I’m going to side with High Point in a blowout win on senior night.
