Radford vs Charleston Southern Prediction

Radford hasn’t had a lot of success on the road and has failed to cover 4 of its last 5 games. That includes a bad loss to UNC Asheville. With that said, hasn’t won a game in three weeks and has bad losses to Presbyterian and USC Upstate during this stretch. Charleston Southern is getting worse by the week on the defensive end. I’m going to assume Charleston Southern is favored because of home court, but I have to lean toward Radford because the Bucs are unbackable in their current form.
