Stetson vs Western Carolina Prediction 

Western Carolina comes into this matchup looking for their first D1 win of the season, but they allowed 95 and 94 points in their two losses. The Catamounts are shooting just 39% from the field, but will face a Stetson defense that has allowed 102 and 93 points in their first two losses. The Hatters are also looking for their first D-1 win of the season and they are shooting 42% from the field. I don’t trust either one of these teams, but I will side with the over, as both defenses have been awful.
