Hampton vs. USC Upstate

SC Upstate has rebounded off an 0-9 start, to win three straight games. They will take on a 5-8 Hampton team that has also been better lately as the Pirates opened the season 1-4, but have played to a 4-4 mark over their last eight. The Spartans have not been the best defending team, as they have allowed five teams to shot over 50% against them. Hampton has been failing on the defensive end as well, as three of its past four opponents have shot 49% or better. I think each team believes they can run to easy hoops in this one, and I expect a pace that is above average and will make the play on the OVER.
