Why FAU can cover
FAU is on a two-game losing skid, but one of those losses came against conference-leading Memphis on Sunday. The Owls rattled off five consecutive wins prior to the current losing streak, notching four of those wins by double digits. They also covered the spread in four of those games, and they have revenge on their mind after losing to North Texas in the first meeting of the season.
Sophomore forward Kaleb Glenn leads FAU with 13.0 points and 4.8 rebounds per game, coming off the bench in all 27 games. He is joined in double figures by junior forwards Tre Carroll (12.4 ppg) and Baba Miller (10.7). FAU has won five of the last six meetings between these teams, covering the spread in four of those games. See which team to pick here.
Why North Texas can cover
North Texas is riding a four-game winning streak and has won 10 of its last 12 games, remaining in contention for the AAC regular-season title. The Mean Green are one game back of Memphis, but they will need some help after losing to the Tigers by four points on the road in the lone head-to-head meeting. They already beat FAU by 13 points at the end of January, as senior forward Moulaye Sissoko posted a double-double with 14 points and 13 rebounds.
Senior guard Jasper Floyd scored a team-high 18 points in a 64-57 win at South Florida on Sunday, shooting 7 of 13 from the floor. Sissoko had 27 points and 11 rebounds in a blowout win against Tulsa last Wednesday, and the Mean Green have won five of their last six road games. Meanwhile, FAU has only covered the spread four times in its last 15 conference games. See which team to pick here.
