SC State vs Charleston Prediction
Charleston is the better team with more scoring depth, so it should be favored at home. However, Charleston struggled defensively in two games against D1 opponents and was never really in either game. SC State hasn’t shown much promise at either end of the floor, but it’s also played good teams like Samford and Louisville. Those contests are going to harden SC State and make it a better team. This game is more of a reasonable matchup in terms of talent, and I wouldn’t be shocked if SC State hangs around and finds a way to cover. Charleston has to clean up defensively to lay these sorts of numbers.
