Rice at East Carolina

East Carolina is a deceptive 14-13 on the season, as this team played one of the softest out-of-conference schedules in the nation. They stole four wins vs. Division-3 teams, and are just 10-13 against division-1 opponents, so the gap between these teams in the win/loss column is a lot closer than it looks. Rice is just 7-18, but after dropping seven straight against the line, they have actually played above the line over their last seven games. The Pirates' problem is their top two scorers, who get over 30 points per game between them, both shoot under 40% from the floor, so they are misfiring a lot to get their points. East Carolina's track record at home is very ugly when it comes to facing a team with a losing road record, as they are 23-55-4 ATS in their last 82 against them. Rice gets the call in this one.
