North Alabama vs West Georgia Prediction
I’ll lean toward West Georgia but I’m not touching this one. The Wolves powered out a nice win over a pretty good Lipscomb team this week, shooting a stellar 57.4 percent from the field with 17 points off eight Bisons turnovers and just seven turnovers of their own. West Georgia struggled from the line (8-of-18) on 44.4 percent, though. The Wolves are still just 1-3 in their last four games so they could use another good showing in this one.
These teams last saw each other back on February 11 in an 82-73 road win for the Wolves. West Georgia managed to shoot a nice 50 percent from both the field and 3-point range (10-of-20) to go along with 85.7 percent (12-of-14) from the line. The Wolves did get outworked in the paint 42-28 however, and gave up 49.1 percent shooting on defense. Still, this seems like a reasonably favorable matchup for West Georgia.
