Western Carolina Catamounts vs VMI Keydets prediction
I considered VMI and the boatload of buckets simply because Western Carolina is only 12-13 ATS on the year and has issues covering these massive numbers. However, Western Carolina smoked VMI a month ago by a score of 102-77. The VMI Keydets are a bad basketball team that doesn’t play a lick of defense, so sometimes you overlook the number and just keep fading. I want little to do with VMI and its struggles. Give me Western Carolina in another beat down over the Keydets.
