PICK: I’m going to try Wofford in this one. The Terriers pulled out a gutsy win over Georgia in their last tame despite shooting a tepid 39 percent from the floor and getting out-rebounded 32-29. Wofford controlled the ball well in the victory, with a 19-8 turnover advantage and 88.2 percent from the line.
As for Richmond, they played well in the second half against Mississippi State but ultimately couldn’t seal it up. This one should be a pretty fun matchup, but I like the Terriers better on a cover.
