Pick
I’m backing Charleston here. Sure, Charleston had trouble putting Monmouth away, but part of me wonders if the Cougars just got caught taking Monmouth a bit lightly in that game. Northeastern’s played in some tight games, but the fact here is that the Cougars are the best team in the conference by a fair margin and I just think that Northeastern’s overmatched here. Give me the Cougars.
