Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks Betting Preview

Over on the Lumberjacks’ side, they’ve been fighting off the .500 mark for most of the season—and failing at it lately. Stephen F Austin went 8-8 over their first 16 outings, losing to Drake, Arkansas State, Presbyterian, UTRGV, Texas A&M-CC, Oregon, Incarnate Word, and Houston Christian during that time. It’s been a 2-5 run for the Lumberjacks since then. The two wins were over East Texas A&M and New Orleans. Otherwise, it was losses to SE Louisiana, Nicholls, McNeese, Northwestern State, and Lamar, giving Stephen F Austin a 10-13 record through their first 23 outings of the 2024-25 season.

Texas A&M-CC vs Stephen F Austin Prediction 

I’ll stay with the Islanders in this one. Texas A&M-CC is coming off a pretty routine win versus a struggling East Texas A&M squad, shooting a very nice 58.8 percent from the field with 26 rebounds and 22 team assists. The 12 turnovers for 17 Lions points were just about the only blemish in that victory. The Islanders have scored 73 or more points in three straight games now, but they’ve only managed to win one of those. 

The last time these teams met up back on December 7, Texas A&M-CC took a decisive win 67-48 at home. I don’t think the rematch will be quite so lopsided but the Isles should still have the advantage.
