Wofford vs. Chattanooga key players to watch

Wofford

Corey Tripp: Wofford's point guard is a key cog in its offense, leading the team in 15.8 points and 3.4 assists per game. With that being said, the key to the Terriers success is to tell Tripp to stop shooting three-pointers. He has the most attempts from beyond the arc this season with 148, but is hitting them at a rate of just 26.4%. They should rely on Bailey and Sivills to shoot their 3s instead and let Tripp do what he does best, dish the rock and drive to the hoop.

Chattanooga

Trey Bonham: Chattanooga's guard, Trey Bonham, is the best weapon the Mocs have to offer. he's averaging 16.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.9 steals per games while also hitting his 3-point shots at a rate of 43.8%. This team will go as far as Bonham can take them.

Wofford vs. Chattanooga prediction and pick

Instead of backing a side in this one, I'm going to sit back and root for points by betting on the OVER. Both teams are inside the top 50 in the country in effective field goal percentage with Chattanooga ranking 21st and Wofford coming in at 48th.

The most notable reason why I expect plenty of points is how both teams defend the 3. The Mocs and Terriers rank fourth and 31st in 3-point shot rate with Chattanooga being one of just four teams who take more than 50% of its shots from beyond the arc.

Meanwhile, the two teams rank 257th and 308th in opponent 3-point field goal percentage with their perimeter defenses being some of the worst in the country. The OVER missed by a few points in their previous meeting, but they went 33.3% and 27.8% from 3. If we even a slight improvement in their 3-point shooting tonight, the total will soar OVER.

Odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.
