Why Charlotte can cover
Charlotte proved that it can go toe-to-toe with Temple in the first meeting of the season, easily covering the spread as an 8.5-point road underdog. The 49ers held a 2-point lead with 15 seconds remaining in regulation, and they led by two points with 1:15 remaining in double overtime, but they were unable to get across the finish line. Junior guard Nik Graves poured in 26 points on 7 of 15 shooting, knocking down four 3-pointers.
Graves leads Charlotte with 17.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game, finishing in double figures in every game since Jan. 8. He is joined in double figures by senior forward Giancarlo Rosado (11.3 ppg), senior forward Robert Braswell IV (10.8) and junior guard Jaehshon Thomas (10.8). The 49ers have covered the spread in six of their last nine games. See which team to pick here.
Why Temple can cover
Temple followed its double-overtime win over Charlotte with an overtime win against East Carolina on Feb. 1, but it has lost four straight games since then. However, all four of those losses came by single digits, and one of them was a double-overtime loss at South Florida. The Owls covered the spread as 15-point road underdogs in a 90-82 loss at then-No. 17 Memphis on Feb. 9.
They are coming off an 83-81 loss to FAU, covering the spread as 4.5-point home underdogs. Senior forward Steve Settle III led Temple with 18 points on 6 of 12 shooting, while sophomore guard Quante Berry had 14 points. Senior guard Jamal Mashburn Jr., who leads the AAC with 22.0 points per game, has missed three of the last four games due to a toe injury, and he is questionable for this contest.
