Wofford vs Western Carolina Prediction 

Western Carolina comes into this game as one of the bottom teams in the SoCon this season, but they will be at home for this game. The Catamounts have lost six of their last eight games and they have allowed 93 and 91 points in their last two, but both of those were on the road. Wofford is 9-7 in conference play, but they have lost two of their last three games. The Terriers are shooting 44.9% from the field this year, compared to just 39.4% for WCU. Wofford won the first meeting with Western Carolina by a score of 77-69, but I haven’t been very impressed with their results recently, as they have only beaten one “good” SoCon team in their last 12 games.
