The South Carolina State Bulldogs have the offense to give the Hawks a headache, as they shoot above 46 percent from the field and 35 percent from three. South Carolina State has also covered seven of its last 10 games. Thick line, but Maryland-Eastern Shore won’t get many stops. South Carolina State should score at will and cruise to a win and cover.
