Seattle vs Furman Prediction

I’m here on Furman. The RedHawks have decent numbers on the surface, but side by side they are far the less effective team defensively, and I don’t think that changes here against a Furman team that bombs from outside and hits them at a high rate too. Seattle is probably better than what they’ve shown so far, but unless they show that talent, I don’t support it. Give me Furman.
