Western Carolina at Bradley

The Catamounts are making some early noise and are poised to be in the Southern Conference Championship running, especially with Davidson down. The Catamounts have no stars offensively, but possess great balance and have really been aggressive at the defensive end, which has translated into 89 steals in eight games. There may be some insight gathered from common opponent Wofford as the Braves struggled to a two-point win at home, while the Catamounts won by five at home indicating that this one might be closer than the stretched-out line. Bradley has only 27 steals and has more turnovers than assists and could be in trouble here against the underrated Catamounts. I'll opt for Western Carolina here as a live dog.
