VMI vs UNC Greensboro Prediction
UNC Greensboro is the better team with the rest advantage and seeing the first two meetings against VMI isn’t any more encouraging for the Keydets. UNC Greensboro and VMI played each other a month ago and the Spartans won 80-54. UNC Greensboro rolls based on recent meetings. However, VMI made light work of The Citadel yesterday and didn’t have to play its key players into the ground. Also, VMI is 18-9-1 ATS on the season. With a cover percentage greater than 68 percent, VMI is a top-10 earner for college basketball bettors this season. UNC Greensboro can win, but I’m taking the points with a team that cashes tickets as well as any in the country. Give me VMI on Saturday afternoon.
