Charlotte vs Murray State Prediction
I’m not running to the window to back either Murray State or Charlotte, two teams that are a combined 6-13-1 ATS on the season. However, Murray State hasn’t been great defensively as of late, and I doubt things improve on the end of a back to back. We’ve seen Murray State lose a couple of times in the favorite role. The Charlotte 49ers showed more fight in Monday’s loss and will have the best player on the court for this one. It may not be the sexiest thing to watch late night, but I’ll lean toward Charlotte, assuming the line isn’t anything crazy.
