College of Charleston got double-digit scores from four players: Dalton Bolon (16), Ante Brzovic (15), Pat Robinson III (14), and Raekwon Horton (10).

Meanwhile, Richmond didn't have too much trouble with the Northern Iowa Panthers at home this past Friday as they won 68-55.

College of Charleston is expected to lose this next one by 3.5. They hadn't treated fans well this season, but they at least enjoy a 2-0 record against the spread.

The Cougars are now 1-1 while the Spiders sit at 2-0. A pair of last-season defensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: College of Charleston has allowed their opponents to shoot 54.70% from the floor on average, which is the 358th highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball. On the other hand, Richmond have been holding their opponents to a field goal percentage of 28.80%, which places them sixth in college basketball. So the cards are definitely stacked in their favor.
