This is a 10* play on CHARLOTTE.

Following in the path of George Mason and VCU, Old Dominion ditched the Colonial for a bigger conference, in this case Conference USA. But unlike those other teams (who both went to the Atlantic 10), the Monarchs have never gone to a Final Four, nor are they likely to anytime soon. While the Monarchs do boast a 10-1 SU record at home this year, they're just 4-4 otherwise and today they find themselves in a tricky spot traveling to Charlotte and having to lay points. Before crushing Southern Miss over the weekend, ODU had failed to cover five straight games. That streak included an outright loss at Florida Atlantic. Charlotte is 5-0 ATS in its last five games and just upset Louisiana Tech here over the weekend. The 49ers are accustomed to being underdogs and have been playing excellent defense recently. They held La Tech to 27.8% shooting, making it three of the last four opponents failing to shoot above 38%. ODU typically also plays good defense, but can be exploited from the three-point line where they are allowing 38.9% shooting away from home. Charlotte is 5-2 ATS its last seven home games.
