Charlotte vs Radford Prediction & Pick

Radford has pulled off back-to-back upsets thanks to a defense that is giving up only 63.5 points per game in the CBI Tournament. That's been the story for the Highlanders all season long as they rank 57th in points allowed per game (66.3). They run into a Charlotte defense that is far superior, though.

The 49ers rank 15th in points allowed per game (62.6), while also checking in seventh in opponent rebounds per game (29.9). Charlotte enters with a notable edge on defense and offense. The 49ers rank 22nd in effective field goal percentage (54.6%), while the Highlanders rank 117th (51.6%).

Charlotte has won 13 of its last 15 games against a Big South opponent, so back the 49ers here.

Final Score Prediction: Charlotte: 68 | Radford: 65

Charlotte vs Radford Best Bet

While both of these defenses have been stellar this season, this point total is set a bit too low. After all, the total has hit the over in four of both Radford and Charlotte's last five games overall. The over has also cashed in 10 of the last 13 games involving one of these two teams in the month of March.

Charlotte has not been held under 65 points in any of its last six games and Radford has not been held under 64 points in any of its last six games. These offenses have been methodical in creating open shots and knocking them down. Expect more of the same in a great semifinals showdown.

Bet: Over 124.5 Total Points (-110)
