UNC Greensboro vs Furman Prediction
Thick line for an early start, but UNC Greensboro doesn’t play a lick of defense and doesn’t cover numbers. We also saw Furman blast UNC Greensboro 89-66 a couple of weeks ago. I doubt things improve moving this contest to Greenville. Furman is one of the better teams in the Southern and has covered 6 of its last 9 games. Furman shoots the ball at a top-50 clip and should once again have a field day against this Greensboro defense. I’ll lay the points.
