Coastal Carolina vs Troy Prediction & Pick
These are two powerhouses going up against one another in the Sun Belt Championship. Coastal Carolina is going for its second conference title in three years, while Troy is attempting to win its seventh all-time. That would pass Arkansas State for the most Sun Belt championships in history.
It's easy to see why Troy is favored here. It is the winner of nine straight and coming off back-to-back double-digit wins. On the other side, Coastal Carolina lost its most recent game as a 25-point favorite and had only beaten their previous two opponents by a combined 10 points. Momentum is the key.
Troy is averaging a reliable +9.6 scoring margin across six home games, so give me the Trojans.
