TOM STRYKER’S FREE BASKETBALL SELECTION THURSDAY, MARCH 6TH
#774 NORTH TEXAS (-14) over Charlotte at 9 PM EST
In a zone right now off six consecutive straight up wins, North Texas will have no trouble extending the margin when it battles Charlotte on Thursday evening. The 49ers stumble into this contest off a pair of straight up conference road losses to the Green Wave and Pirates and this will prove to be another tough spot for head coach Aaron Fearne and his crew.
Revenge motivation will have the Mean Green focused and ready too. Last year, UNT (+1.5) traveled to Charlotte and dropped a 56-44 decision to Coach Fearne and his troops. Thankfully, since the start of the 2019 season, head coach Ross Hodge and his boys have ripped off an impressive 135-56 SU and 103-69-5 ATS record including an outstanding 93-40 SU and 74-48-4 ATS provided they slip in with steam off a straight up win. With those two parameters live and North Texas facing a conference foe, this angle improves to a healthy 66-23 SU and 54-31-4 ATS including a strong 28-9 SU and 24-10-3 ATS provided their opponent was on the road last.
Charlotte isn’t playing the best basketball either. In fact, in their last 39 games, the 49ers own a feeble 15-24 SU and 15-22 ATS record including a pathetic 4-16 SU and 6-14 ATS provided their opponent enters with confidence off a straight up win. With those two parameters in play and coach Fearne and his squad going into revenge, this angle crashes to a shocking 0-6 SU and ATS. Also, when priced as a pup of +7 or more, Charlotte holds a poor 25-39-3 ATS mark including a hideous 17-34-2 ATS provided it holds a team won/loss percentage greater than .250.
With a chance to lock up a top 2 seed in the AAC Tournament with a victory over the 49ers, Coach Hodge will make sure his kids drop the hammer here. Take North Texas. Thanks and best of luck, Tom.
