Presbyterian vs Radford Prediction 

Presbyterian comes into this contest looking for their fourth win in a row and they have allowed just 59 and 57 points in their last two games. The Blue Hose are shooting 47% from the field this year, but they are averaging just 33.7 rebounds per game. Radford has won three of their last four games and they have also been pretty solid defensively in recent games, as they have allowed 60 points or fewer in three of their last four. Radford won the first meeting in this series by a score of 82-69, while Presbyterian won the second by a score of 80-73. I think this game could go either way, especially with each team playing well right now, but I like what I am seeing from the defenses. Take the under in this game.
