UNC Wilmington vs Valparaiso Prediction


In this UNC Wilmington vs Valparaiso Prediction, Wilmington is coming as –4 road favorites. Wilmington has been the better team this season, as they have lost just once in their 10 games played. Valparaiso has been up and down in the past three weeks but are 5-1 against the spread in their last 6 games. I still don’t like either side in this matchup, but both teams have been playing excellent defense this season, allowing just 134.2 points per game combined with Valparaiso struggling with its shooting, making just 42% of their shots from the field. I expect a low-scoring affair, so take the under 137.5 points in this one.
