Stony Brook vs. Charleston picks and predictions
Prediction
Charleston 75, Stony Brook 68
Moneyline
BET CHARLESTON (-530) IN A ML PARLAY.
This is too much juice to lay on CHARLESTON (-530). If you believe MIAMI (-134) will defeat Boston College in the 1st round of the ACC Tournament, as I do, pairing the Cougars with the Hurricanes in a moneyline parlay is +108.
Against the spread
BET STONY BROOK +9.5 (-105).
Stephenson-Moore has recorded multiple 3-pointers made in 4 straight games, and the senior guard should continue to stay hot and help his side keep up with the best team in the conference. F Chris Maidoh, who scored a career-high 25 points in the 91-88 2OT win over Delaware in the CAA quarterfinals, has 5 blocks in the past 2 games and should limit Charleston's inside scoring opportunities.

Over/Under
BET UNDER 149.5 (-110).
Both schools are outside of the top 3rd of D1 schools when it comes to possessions per game, and Stony Brook is playing its 4th game in as many days. The Seawolves just held Hofstra to 35.1% shooting, the lowest percentage for the Pride in a game this season. Expect another strong defensive effort from Stony Brook; it just won't be enough to win its 1st ever CAA Championship.
