Chattanooga vs Samford Prediction
I’m with Chattanooga in this one. I like what Samford’s brought to the table defensively this season, as normally it’s a high-volume and high-octane offense that comes to the table for Bucky Ball. However, Chattanooga’s boasting the most efficient offense in the SoCon right now, and I’m really not interested in stepping in front of the Mocs right now, especially at home with a chance to catch Samford and UNC-Wilmington at the top of the SoCon mountain. I think home court ends up being the true difference here as Chattanooga bags the win and cover.
