William & Mary vs Charleston Prediction


Charleston probably has the best player on the court and is usually a tough out at home. However, William & Mary is 11-1 ATS on the season, making it the best cover team in the country. William & Mary is loaded offensively with several players capable of taking over for stretches, and it has recent upset wins over Bowling Green and Duquesne. I’m just not stepping in front of William & Mary until it gives me a reason to do so. William & Mary is a cash cow. Give me the bucket.

Randy Chambers's Pick: William & Mary +2.5
