UL Monroe vs Arkansas State Prediction
It doesn’t matter what you think of Arkansas State, this line has everything to do with how bad UL Monroe is. Louisiana Monroe can’t score the basketball, doesn’t defend, and is just 9-17 ATS despite being big underdogs most nights. UL Monroe has scored 64 or fewer points in eight of its last 10 games. It doesn’t hurt that Arkansas State is 12-2 SU at home this season and is top-25 in defensive field goal percentage and defensive three-point percentage. A struggling UL Monroe offense isn’t going to find its groove in this spot. There’s a reason the line is what it is. My only option is to side with Arkansas State in a blowout home win.
