Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns (17-4) vs Georgia Southern Eagles (12-10)

I like the fact that although Georgia Southern is not a great shooting offense, the Eagles take care of the basketball better than most teams in the country and are strong defensively. Against a team that should experience plenty of regression in Louisiana, I like Georgia Southern's chances to keep itself in this ballgame for 40 minutes. Georgia Southern forces turnovers and is strong on the defensive glass, while Louisiana has taken far too many low-quality shots this season for me to trust it at prices like this. Teams like Louisiana have the capability of losing games like these outrights if the shots are not falling and without sustainable offense, Louisiana is a fade for me here. Give me GA Southern.
Ron’s Pick Georgia Southern Eagles: +9.5 -110
