Charleston Southern vs Longwood Prediction
The Charleston Southern Buccaneers are worth a look because they’ve covered 5 of their last 7 games, but I still can’t get there. Charleston Southern doesn’t play a lick of defense, allowing 47.7 percent shooting. Charleston Southern is also 1-8 SU on the road this season. The Longwood Lancers have been far and away the more consistent team this season, and their offense which averages 78 points should have a field day against this Charleston Southern defense. I just can’t back teams that don’t defend, especially on the road. So, I’m going to fade Charleston Southern. Give me Longwood in a double-digit home victory.
