Chattanooga vs. Evansville Prediction

I’m on Chattanooga here. I just think that the Mocs are the better team as they were on a 5-game win streak before falling last time out while Evansville has gotten crushed far more often than not this season. I was honestly surprised that Chattanooga didn’t open as a bigger favorite here. Give me the Mocs.
