Campbell vs. Radford prediction and pick

Campbell shot the ball really well from inside the arc against Longwood. They made 24-of-39 shots from two-point range and also went 24/28 from the free-throw line. That allowed them to score 81 points while only hitting three three-pointers. For the season, they’re hitting 46.3% from the field, but only score 69.3 points a game because of their slow pace.

Despite playing at such a slow pace, the over has hit in the Camels last four games. I wouldn’t expect that to continue, because Radford is 40th in opponents points per game. Most modern basketball games are decided by the three-point line, but that won’t be the story in this one. Campbell is 29th in the country in two-point field goal percentage and Radford is 315th in opponent two-point percentage. They are vulnerable inside and the Camels are going to take advantage with Ricky Clemons and Anthony Dell’Orso attacking the rim and Jay Pal inside. Pal averages 11.9 a game, but had 23 points and 11 rebounds last round.
