Coastal Carolina is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 road games and 10-22 ATS in their last 32 games following an ATS win while the over is 5-2 in their last 7 Tuesday games. Wofford is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 home games while the over is 9-3 in their last 12 games overall.
I get the case to be made for an underdog in a spot like this, as this hasn’t been the same Wofford team that we’re used to seeing in years past. That being said, Wofford is the more efficient offense here and they do a good job taking care of the basketball, which is one of those little edges you look for in a game like this. Not a game I’m rushing to bet, but I’d lay the points with Wofford.
