Prediction:
The Terriers have been on a mission all season and I can’t see it stopping here. They have also throttled UNC Greensboro twice this season, 72-43 on the road and 80-50 at home. While the Spartans have fared well against almost every other opponent, they are probably not going to flip a switch to that extent and figure out how to beat Wofford tonight. Go with the favorites to win handily.
