Betting Trends for vs
The Evansville Purple Aces have been overvalued ever since upsetting the Kentucky Wildcats, and I still have not seen enough to back them with a fairly big number. East Carolina has struggled this season hence their 1-3 record, but they still have the best player on the court in Jayden Gardner as he is averaging just shy of a double-double with 20 PPG and 9.3 RPG. Evansville will try to cancel Gardner out with their big man Deandre Williams, but he is the lone forward who sees valuable minutes for the Purple Aces and foul trouble could come into play. Evansville is feeling confident with a 3-1 record, but I still like East Carolina to keep this game within a few possessions. Final Score Prediction, Evansville Purple Aces win but fail to cover ATS 72-69.
