Chattanooga vs UNC Greensboro Prediction
The UNC Greensboro Spartans are good enough defensively to hang in this game, and they have a couple of road wins this season. We’re just not getting enough points to pull the trigger. The Chattanooga Mocs are playing their best ball of the season, and that includes covers in four of their last five games. Chattanooga hung around with Indiana a couple of weeks ago and is coming off an offensive masterclass against The Citadel. Chattanooga is heading in the right direction and has seen six of its nine wins come at home. I’ll lay the reasonable line with the Mocs at home.
