Texas Southern Tigers vs. North Carolina Central Eagles Prediction 03/14/2018

Of the two teams, Texas Southern is a more popular choice albeit they qualified for March Madness just last year. The fact remains North Carolina Central is the team with the winning record and inherently less to lose. The lack of respect shown by the market towards the Eagles will only empower this unit to play with a chip on their shoulder. North Carolina Central owns the better defense, they are more physical in the rebounding department, and they have the bench to back up their operation. As a result of these ingredients, the Eagles make a great play with points. We will target the overlay and public overreaction and back North Carolina Central. Do not be surprised here if the Eagles orchestrate an outright upset of the Tigers and punch their ticket to meet the Musketeers.
