SC State Bulldogs vs Longwood Lancers: Prediction
Five of the last six games for the Lancers have gone over the total line against a team with a winning percentage of less than .400. Ten of their last 13 home games have gone over the total mark. The Lancers are having two injury issues at the moment but nothing too much to worry about.
The two teams have played against each other four times previously and are tied 2-2. SC State could have a tough time due to their poor form and also because their statistics are below par.
