Kennesaw State vs Louisiana Tech Prediction
Kennesaw State comes into this matchup after picking up their second win of the season last week against FIU, and they will look to end the season on a positive note here. The Owls have actually played pretty well over the last five games, as they have two wins and two overtime losses in that span. Louisiana Tech has lost three of their last four games, but their defense has been very good. I think we are going to see a very low-scoring game in this matchup, but I like how Kennesaw State has played recently. Take the points with the Owls.
