Incarnate Word vs. Texas A&M-CC Prediction

I’m looking at Incarnate Word and the points in this game. Coming into the year and into conference play, I’d have made the case that Texas A&M-CC is the second-best team in the Southland behind McNeese, but the current skid for the Islanders is sliding them down the totem pole. I’m just not about laying points with the Islanders when they’re the worst free-throw-shooting team in the conference and leave a lot of points at the foul line that could come into play late when they try to cover the number. Incarnate Word is a decent offensive team that takes care of the rock and I think they could keep this game close so I’ll take the Cardinals and the points in this one.
