What to Know

The College of Charleston Cougars are on the road again Wednesday and play against the Old Dominion Monarchs at 7 p.m. ET Dec. 22 at Chartway Arena. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W.'

The Cougars came up short against the Stetson Hatters last Thursday, falling 67-59.

Meanwhile, Old Dominion was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Sunday as they fell 67-61 to the Richmond Spiders. Guard C.J. Keyser wasn't much of a difference maker for Old Dominion; Keyser fouled out and turned the ball over four times en route to a 6-for-21, 13-point finish.

College of Charleston is expected to lose this next one by 3.5. However, those who like betting on the underdog should be happy to hear that they are 4-1 against the spread when expected to lose.

College of Charleston is now 7-4 while Old Dominion sits at 5-7. A couple stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Cougars are eighth worst in college basketball in points allowed per game, with 78.4 on average. The Monarchs have experienced some struggles of their own as they are stumbling into the contest with the 24th fewest points per game in college basketball, having accrued only 63 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
