I get the case to be made for either side here, but I’m leaning towards Charleston being at home and the fact that I feel they’ve done well against the much tougher schedule so far this season. Davidson’s a solid team that’s going to challenge in the A-10 this season, but I just feel that right now, in this game, Charleston’s the play.
