Charleston Cougars vs. East Carolina Pirates Prediction

East Carolina is 6-0 at home this season, but they haven’t beaten anyone with all six of the games unlined. Charleston has played two road games this season beating Coastal Carolina 71-64 and losing 63-47 to Villanova but covered both games. They come into this game on a four game winning streak and while only one of those victories was in a lined game it was a good one beating a decent Davison squad 76-61 as a five point home dog.
