Charleston vs Stony Brook Prediction
I’m on Charleston here. Flat out, this just isn’t the same Stony Brook team compared to last year, that was dominating the country in ATS cover percentage. Charleston is the far better team here, and I just don’t see Stony Brook having an answer inside for Ante Brzovic. Charleston hasn’t necessarily been blowing teams away in conference, but the closest competition to Stony Brook is likely Hampton, and Charleston beat the Pirates 94-67 at home at the start of 2025. I don’t know if this is a 27-point win, but I think Charleston does enough for the win and cover in this game. Give me Charleston here.
