While not quite a landslide, the matchup between Florida Atlantic and the Charlotte 49ers on Saturday was still a pretty decisive one as Florida Atlantic wrapped it up with a 67-52 win on the road. The top scorers for Florida Atlantic were center Vladislav Goldin (15 points) and guard Alijah Martin (13 points).

Meanwhile, Rice came up short against the North Texas Mean Green on Saturday, falling 74-64.

Florida Atlantic is the favorite in this one, with an expected 14-point margin of victory. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (14-4), so they might be worth a quick bet.

Florida Atlantic’s victory brought them up to 22-2 while Rice’s loss pulled them down to 15-8. A pair of stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Florida Atlantic have been holding their opponents to a field goal percentage of 40.20%, which places them 30th in college basketball.
