Old Dominion comes into this contest looking to snap their four game losing streak and they have allowed at least 76 points in three of those four. The Monarchs are shooting 43% from the field and they are allowing over 78 points against per game this year. Coastal Carolina has split their last four games, including a 76-74 win over Old Dominion in December. The Chanticleers are shooting 40% from the field and they have allowed at least 82 points in each of their last two games. I don’t trust either defense in this matchup, so I like the over here.
