Tulsa vs East Carolina Betting Prediction
Expect the Pirates to contain the Golden Hurricane's offense given their strong defensive play, particularly at home where they are allowing less than 68 points per game.
Although the Pirates have had recent struggles, they have won five of their previous eight home games. At home, where they average more than 71 points per game, they have displayed strong offensive play.
They are aggressive on the offensive glass and excel at rebounding the ball at home, which will increase their opportunities to score. They've also done a fantastic job of preserving the ball and won't present many simple scoring opportunities for the Golden Hurricane.
The Golden Hurricane perform poorly on the road and have poor defensive play. They will have a tough time defending against the Pirates' offense; therefore, take the home team to cover the spread in this one.
Pick: East Carolina Pirates -5 (-110)
