VMI stood at 5-7 through 12 games this year, beating Penn State NK, Regent VA, Navy, Carlow and Radford in that stretch. The Keydets have lost to Fordham, Furman, East Tennessee State, Samford, Chattanooga and UNCG since then. 

In the UNC Greensboro matchup on Wednesday, the Keydets were outscored 31-22 in the first half and 41-35 in the second for a 72-57 defeat. Asher Woods scored 14 points, and both Tyler Houser and Rickey Bradley scored 13 points apiece. 

Over on the Wofford side, they were 7-5 after 12 games with losses to High Point, Drake, LSU, Vanderbilt and GA Southern. The Terriers are 3-3 in their last six games with victories over Texas A&M, Mercer and the Citadel. 

Matched up against Samford on Wednesday, the Terriers were drilled 43-27 in the first half. Wofford didn’t get any closer on a 40-31 second-half deficit and lost 83-58. Both Corey Tripp and Jackson Paveletzke scored a team-high 12 points each. 

PICK: I’ll probably stick with Wofford. The Terriers are coming off a flat game against Samford though, and they’ll need to bounce back here. Wofford hasn’t been super consistent scoring-wise lately; they’ve hit 67 or fewer points in five of their last eight games. That said, the Terriers should have enough firepower to keep VMI at bay. The Keydets have been at 62 points or fewer in three of their last five outings. If Wofford rebounds from the Wednesday loss and plays to their capabilities here they should cover.
