ANDREW’S FREE FORDHAM VS DAVIDSON PREDICTION
I’ll stay with Davidson. There’s not much to get excited about in this one if you’re not a fan of either team, though. The Wildcats have been losing quite a bit lately but they’ve at least been competitive. Davidson’s last two losses have been decided by a combined three points. They’re 2-2 in the last four with 71 or more points in three of those.
Back on January 17 when these teams last met up, Davidson took a 79-69 road victory. Neither team shot all that well but both had 40-plus rebounds. This one should be fairly competitive, and I like the Wildcats to power it out.
