Delaware vs William & Mary Prediction
William & Mary comes into the CAA Tournament on a three-game losing streak and they have no momentum, despite being the fourth seed in the tournament. The Tribe is shooting 45.7% from the field this year, but they have allowed 79 and 88 points in two of their last three games. Delaware has won their first two games of the tournament and they will try to stay hot in this game. The Blue Hens are shooting over 47% from the field this season, but their defense has been horrible, as they have allowed 78.6 points per game. Delaware did win the lone regular-season meeting between these teams by a score of 74-64 and I think we are going to see a similar low-scoring game. Delaware has gone under this number in each of their last two games and I like the under in this contest.
