UTSA vs Charlotte Prediction 

Charlotte comes into this matchup sitting at the bottom of the conference standings, but they will have the home-court advantage for this game. The 49ers have lost five of their last six games and they have allowed at least 75 points in four of their last five. UTSA has lost seven of their last eight and their defense has actually been a few points worse than Charlotte’s this season. Both teams are shooting 42.1% from the field this year, but Charlotte has scored 64 points or fewer in three of their last five games. My gut reaction is to look at the over with how poorly each defense has played, but I don’t think we can trust either team shooting the ball here. Take the under in this game.
