VMI vs Wofford Prediction
Wofford is the more talented team and beat VMI a few weeks ago on the road by a score of 82-43. Wofford should be favored. However, this is a thick line and we can’t ignore VMI beating Wofford in the first meeting, 74-67. Wofford has had issues defensively and hasn’t played winning basketball over the last month. VMI is hot with two straight wins and we’ve seen teams in March come out of nowhere and put together improbable stretches. VMI has shown far more effort defensively in its last two games and the confidence should be building. Wofford should still win, but I want the points.
