Delaware vs. Charleston Prediction

I’m on the Cougars here. I think Delaware’s focus here is simply on which opponent they will have in the first round of the CAA tournament in the coming weeks. On the other side, Charleston needs to keep winning to keep their hopes alive in terms of securing a top-4 seed in the CAA tournament to get that all-important double bye. Historically, this has been a great matchup for Charleston and I think the Cougars get the job done in this one. Give me Charleston here.
