UNC Wilmington vs Delaware Prediction 

UNC Wilmington comes into this matchup as a decently sized favorite, but they nearly collapsed in the second half against Charleston on Monday. The Seahawks have won five games in a row and their defense has been very good, as they have allowed 67 points or fewer in four straight games. Delaware has won four games in a row in this tournament and they are one game away from an improbable CAA Championship. The Blue Hens have some horrible defensive numbers on the season, but their offense has scored at least 79 points in all four of these wins. UNC Wilmington has defeated Delaware by scores of 88-58 and 77-67 in the regular season, but I am taking the points with Delaware here. The Blue Hens have a ton of momentum right now and they have looked great in their last two wins. Take Delaware in this game.
