Savannah State is a program that always has 2 parts to their season. In the fall, they get routed by programs as they travel to programs such as Pittsburgh, Florida and Baylor to make money for their respective program. Then, this program uses that difficult non-conference schedule to play well in conference play as that is the only way this team is making it to the Dance in such a conference as they try to win the conference. Savannah State is a 9-5 team, is a top 120 defensive team in the country and they lost to NC Central at home by 14 points earlier this year.
With Savannah State looking forward and getting up for this game, having a strong defense and with NC Central looking to coast a bit until conference play as the regular season champ does not have that many advantages if you do not win the conference tournament, look for Savannah State to get up for this contest and being a huge underdog plus 14.5 as they are getting 11% of the total points in this contest prior to the start
