I'm a full believer in taking points where you can get them. This line is simply too high. Wofford comes into this game with 4 players averaging double figures (albeit through 2 games). But the scoring punch is there to keep them in this game vs a Vermont team that has had trouble consistently scoring early in the season. Wofford was leading at half vs tough LSU team (43-39) before succumbing into LSU pressure in 2nd half.
Vermont is a two trick pony with a 1-2 G-F punch inside out. They don't rebound extremely well which is stat one when comparing these mid major type schools. Wofford in their 2nd half meltdown vs LSU still held neck and neck rebounding in the game holding. 32-29 edge before eventually getting out rebounded 34-41 (skewed a by due to terrible shots late in game playing catch up). Vermont barely outrebounded an undersized Marist team 34-30. The other key factor when analyzing this game is Vermonts careless play early on. They have turned the ball over 18, 17, 17, & 15 times vs very average competition. Their guards simply force entirely too much an get to erratic with the ball.
I just think early morning games teams struggle to score and these games come down to who can rebound and who can limit their turnovers. Wofford isn't a sexy basketball name and naturally getting public backing vs a 3-1 Vermont team that is consistently competing for conference titles, but 9.5 is simply too many points for Vermont to cover given their issues with turnovers and given Wofford ability to put the ball in the hoop.
