Davidson vs Richmond Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this matchup trying to snap losing streaks, but Richmond will be at home. The Spiders have lost four games in a row and they have scored 59 points or fewer in three of those games. Richmond is shooting just 40.5% from the field this year, but their defense has been very good over their last four games. Davidson has lost three games in a row and they are shooting 47.3% from the field this year. The Wildcats have had a solid offensive attack this season, but they have allowed 78, 92, and 79 points in their last three games. I know Richmond has a pretty bad shooting percentage, but I like how they have played defense recently and I think they could get the win, so I will take the points with the Spiders at home.
