Two teams with 15-2 records battle tonight and Western Carolina has won nine in a row. The Catamounts are 6-1 ATS their past seven lined games, including 64-52 over Mercer on Saturday. The Catamounts shot only 37 percent, but they held Mercer to just 32 percent and Western Carolina is #44 in the country holding opponents to just 65.5 points per game. That is important because they will be facing the leading scoring team in the nation as Samford averages 91.5 points against Division I schools. The Bulldogs lost their first two games of the season to Purdue and Virginia Commonwealth and then feasted on weaker competition. Western Carolina is undefeated in seven home games and Samford is 3-2 on the road. The Catamounts are just a slight favorite so go with Western Carolina on the moneyline.
