Wofford vs Wisconsin-Milwaukee Prediction
Both teams are on the end of a back-to-back, so anything can happen, but I do lean toward the Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the small chalk. The Milwaukee Panthers have more options offensively, they’ve been tighter defensively, and they have the best player on the floor. The Wofford Terriers have failed to cover each of their last 5 games and 8 of their last 9 games overall. It’s also a home game for the Panthers. Give me Milwaukee on Saturday afternoon.
