Delaware vs UNC Wilmington Prediction
UNC Wilmington is the more talented team and beat Delaware twice while covering both games this season. Delaware will also play its fifth straight game and you have to ask yourself just how much is left in the tank. That shoe has to drop eventually. I’m still grabbing the points with Delaware. The Blue Hens look too comfortable offensively in this tournament and that confidence has to be oozing right now. UNC Wilmington is coming off a tight game against Charleston that it probably shouldn’t have lost. UNC Wilmington also allowed Hampton to come back a bit and make that game more interesting than it should’ve been. We see teams steal bids every year in conference tournaments. Delaware could be one of those teams this year. Give me the points.
