McNeese is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a win. The over is 4-0 in McNeese’s last 4 games and the over is 15-5 in their last 20 games following an ATS win. Nicholls is 3-14-1 ATS in their last 18 games and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 Monday games. The under is 14-5 in Nicholls’ last 19 games. 

Pick

McNeese comes into this game with one of the worst records in the Southland Conference this year, but they were able to pull off the upset in round one of the tournament. Nicholls finished the season in fourth place and they are better in just about every metric. McNeese is only shooting 42.9% from the field this season and they are allowing over 75 points against per game. I like Nicholls in this game.
