What to Know
After two games on the road, the College of Charleston Cougars are heading back home. They will take on the Presbyterian Blue Hose at 2 p.m. ET Sunday at TD Arena. Coming off of a win even when the odds were against them, College of Charleston has to be feeling especially confident now that the spread is in their favor.
The Cougars didn’t have too much trouble with the Tulane Green Wave on the road last Tuesday as they won 86-72. Five players on College of Charleston scored in the double digits: guard Reyne Smith (15), guard Brenden Tucker (13), guard Fah’mir Ali (12), forward John Meeks (11), and forward Babacar Faye (10).
Meanwhile, Presbyterian was within striking distance but couldn’t close the gap last week as they fell 71-66 to the Morehead State Eagles.
This next game looks promising for College of Charleston, who are favored by a full 10.5 points. They are currently four-for-four against the spread in their most recent games, a trend bettors might want to take into account.
College of Charleston is now 6-3 while the Blue Hose sit at 6-4. A pair of defensive stats to keep an eye on: The Cougars are eighth worst in college basketball in points allowed per game, with 79.9 on average. Presbyterian has experienced some struggles of their own as they have allowed their opponents to shoot 45.80% from the floor on average, which is the 21st highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball. It’s possible one of these Achilles’ heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
