Providence vs Davidson Prediction
The Providence Friars are solid defensively and coming off a solid showing against Oklahoma, but I question if there’s enough firepower to get over the hump in this contest. The Davidson Wildcats have more balance to their team, have passed every test outside of Arizona and despite the loss to the Wildcats, they had moments offensively. Davidson has shown more potential offensively up to this point, and that should be the difference with both sides on the end of a back-to-back. Give me the Davidson Wildcats.
