NC State vs Furman Betting Prediction
In their first ten games, the Paladins performed well, winning seven. They have been effective offensively but have been less effective on the road, averaging 72 points per game and converting only 44% of their attempts.
Additionally, they've had trouble at the free-throw line, making less than 70% of their attempts. They're having trouble grabbing rebounds off the glass, so they don't have many chances to score.
Take the Wolfpack to win tonight's game and cover the spread, as they have limited opponents to 67 points or fewer at home.
