Florida Atlantic vs Charlotte Prediction

I’m on FAU here. FAU is finally starting to show signs of the team we expected to see coming into the year or at least into conference play despite their coaching change from Dusty May to John Jakus in the offseason. The Owls have been lighting it up and I just don’t think that Charlotte has enough in the tank to hang with FAU for a full 40 minutes. One win over Rice isn’t going to move the needle for me with this Charlotte team as I look to fade the 49ers wherever possible. I think FAU defends home court here and keeps the momentum going so I’ll lay the points with the Owls at home in this one.
