Florida Atlantic vs Charlotte Game Preview

Why Florida Atlantic Will Win

Yeah, Florida Atlantic finally dropped another game in a 86-77 loss to UAB, but it took everything to go the other way in the weeknight road game.

Florida Atlantic will get on the move and go on a little bit of a run late in the first half to force Charlotte to start bombing away more from the outside. That’s not going to work well enough.
