Louisiana Tech vs Indiana State Prediction
Indiana State comes into this contest after losing in a blowout to Duke last time out, but they did get a nice win over SIUE prior to that. The Sycamores are shooting 44% from the field, but they have struggled on the defensive end of the court. Louisiana Tech lost 77-50 against Nevada to open the season, but they bounced back against two easy teams. The Bulldogs are also shooting 44% from the field, but all of their stats are skewed due to their easy schedule. I will back Indiana State in this game, as I think playing Duke last time out will help them.
