Richmond had already won six in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 9.2 points), and they went ahead and made it seven on Tuesday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 63-61 win over the Dukes.

Richmond relied on the efforts of Neal Quinn, who scored 16 points along with eight rebounds, and Dji Bailey, who scored 12 points along with eight rebounds.

Meanwhile, Davidson had to suffer through a three-game losing streak, but that streak is no more. They came out on top against the Rams by a score of 79-69 on Wednesday. Winning is a bit easier when your three-point shooting is a whole 24.1% better than the opposition, as Davidson's was.

Davidson got their win on the backs of several key players, but it was Grant Huffman out in front who scored 24 points along with five rebounds and three steals. The team also got some help courtesy of Reed Bailey, who dropped a double-double on 24 points and 12 rebounds.

The Spiders have been performing well recently as they've won eight of their last ten matches, which provided a nice bump to their 12-5 record this season. As for the Wildcats, their win bumped their record up to 11-6.

Richmond will be fighting an uphill battle on Saturday as the experts have pegged them as the two-point underdog. They might be worth a quick bet since they've covered the spread the last five times they've played.

Not only did both teams in this Saturday's match win their last matches, they also took care of their bettors and covered the spread. As for their next game, Davidson is expected to win a tight contest, barring any buzzer beaters. Bettors picking them against the spread have some confidence (to put it mildly), as the team is sitting on a three-game streak of failing to cover when playing at home.
