Pick
I’m leaning towards Troy here. It’s a pretty big number considering both of these teams are playing for positioning with the conference tournament around the corner, but Coastal Carolina has fallen off of a cliff with their recent form and just are not a team I’m looking to back right now. Troy has played much better and have been a solid team at home at 10-3 where they’re outscoring teams by 15.9 PPG this season. I’ll back Troy for a double-digit win.
