Today's best bet: SAMFORD (-1) over Wofford

The Terriers will be playing their fourth road game in eight days, and Samford is 5-0 at home this season. Wofford and the rest of the Southern Conference are seeing the Bulldogs' unorthodox offense for the first time this season. Since bringing a Princeton-style offense to the program in 1997, Samford coach Jimmy Tillette is 71-39 against teams that have less than three days to prepare. Wofford leading scorer Junior Salters has missed the last three games and is questionable.
