Pick

I’m leaning towards UNC-Wilmington here. There’s really not much here for me to see why Towson would be favored on the road as UNCW is 11-2 at home this season and the only thing Towson has to play for is the head-to-head tiebreak to own that over Wilmington and maybe get a better seed in the conference tournament but outside of that, there’s not much and it’s not like Towson’s been spectacular on the road, as they’ve lost four straight road games. I think the wrong team’s favored here. Give me UNC-Wilmington here.
