SE Louisiana vs. North Dakota Prediction

I’m on the over here. Both of these teams prefer to do their offensive damage from inside the arc and that’s also the defensive weakness of both teams coming into this game. I think neither team is going to have an answer for the other inside and I can see this one getting a bit high-scoring. Give me the over in this one.
