Wofford Terriers Betting Form

Wofford comes in with momentum, having won four of its last five. The Terriers are efficient in the halfcourt, ranking in the top 100 in effective FG%, thanks to excellent spacing and perimeter shooting. They shoot over 36% from deep and keep turnovers low, which is key when playing on the road in close matchups.

Defensively, Wofford struggles to guard the rim but closes out well on shooters. Rebounding can be hit or miss, depending on matchups, and foul trouble has bitten them late in a few games. Still, they’ve shown they can win close games, and their backcourt can control pace when needed.

Western Carolina Catamounts Betting Form

Western Carolina is always tough at home. They’re 5–1 in Cullowhee this season and average nearly 80 points per game on their own court. Their offense thrives in transition, especially when they can force turnovers and run off misses. The Catamounts are top 50 nationally in tempo and shoot quickly in the shot clock.

That pace comes with risk. They can get sloppy and settle for early shots. Defensively, they allow a high 3-point volume and can be exploited by good ball movement. Their ability to rebound and stay out of foul trouble usually dictates how competitive they are against more efficient teams.

Wofford Terriers vs Western Carolina Catamounts Predictions and Best Bets

This is a classic pick’em type of game with a slight market lean toward the road team. Wofford has the better shooting metrics, tighter late-game execution, and a cleaner overall profile. But the road environment and Western Carolina’s pace make it closer than the raw numbers suggest.

The total feels a touch high unless both teams shoot well early. Wofford can slow it down, and if they’re the ones in control, it could land under. Lean to the Terriers on the side, with caution on the Over/Under.

Best Bet: Wofford -1.5 (-106)
