Why William & Mary can cover

William & Mary has used a three-game winning streak to move into second place in the CAA standings, covering the spread in each of its last two games.

They followed that performance with a 79-70 win at Elon on Saturday, springing the upset as 3.5-point underdogs. Dorsey had 21 points on 7 of 11 shooting, including a 7 of 9 mark from the perimeter. The Tribe are a perfect 12-0 at home this season, while UNC Wilmington has only covered the spread twice in its last seven February games. See which team to pick here.
