UNC Asheville vs High Point Prediction
High Point is the better team and has been deadly at home. High Point also beat UNC Asheville by 18 points on New Year’s Eve. However, this still feels like a lot of points for a High Point team that’s had issues covering numbers as a favorite and is just 13-12 ATS on the season. UNC Asheville has covered 7 of its last 10 games and is an above-average team at both ends of the floor. If UNC Asheville continues to shoot well from the outside, this game should be competitive. I’ll take a stab with the buckets.
