Presbyterian Blue Hose

The Blue Hose made money at home in 2025-26 and lost almost ten units on the road: +2.11 over 11 priced home games, -9.55 over 16 away. Only 21 Division I teams lost more on their road moneyline.

Where the game is played

Presbyterian games split cleanly by venue. At home the Blue Hose went 10-4 and covered 7 of 11 lined games, 63.6%. Three of the ten home wins came against visitors outside the 365-team Division I list, with no line posted, so the priced home games are the cleaner measure, and those returned 2.11 units, a figure only 66 Division I teams beat at home.

On the road they went 3-13 and covered 6 of 15. The 16 road moneylines lost 9.55 units; 343 Division I teams did better away from home. Three of the defeats were at +1200 or longer, at South Carolina, California and UCLA, all in November.

As underdogs

Twenty-one of Presbyterian’s games were played as the underdog, and the Blue Hose covered 11 of the 20 that carried a spread. The best of them were outright wins: 68-64 over East Tennessee State at +220, 58-57 at UNC Asheville at +180 and 63-61 at Georgia State at +140. Backed blind, though, the 21 underdog moneylines still lost 6.33 units on a 6-15 underdog record.

The season line

Over 33 games Presbyterian went 15-18 and covered 16 of 29 spreads, 55.2%. December was the poor month: one cover in four lined games and 2.69 units lost.

Winthrop and Radford

Winthrop beat the Blue Hose three times, the last in the Big South semifinal, but Presbyterian covered two of the three. Radford won twice before Presbyterian beat it 91-85 in the Big South quarterfinal at +120. UNC Asheville lost both meetings, worth 2.94 units.

The total

Sixteen overs, 14 unders: no lean.
