Why Campbell will beat Longwood

• Campbell has won each of its last four games against the Big South Conference at Gore Arena/Pope Convocation Center.
• Longwood has lost three of its last four games against non-conference opponents.
• Campbell has won the first half in each of its last six Wednesday games against the Big South Conference.

Longwood vs Campbell Prediction 

Longwood comes into this matchup after winning three of their last four games and they are 9-3 on the season, but three of those wins were against non-D-1 teams. The Lancers are scoring nearly 79 points per game, but they will be on the road here. Campbell has alternated wins and losses over their last five games and two of their five wins have been against non-D-1 teams. The Fighting Camels are only shooting 43.5% from the field, but they have been pretty strong defensively for most of the season. I really don’t like either team in this matchup, but I do think Campbell is the play-at-home.
