Louisiana vs Lamar Prediction
Louisiana has been on the road a lot so you’d think eventually it will figure things out, but this has been an awful start to the season. Louisiana can’t score the basketball, and that includes scoring 56 or fewer points in three straight games. Louisiana hasn’t scored 70 points since March 4. It’s hard to win that way, and Louisiana is 2-6 ATS on the season. Lamar has covered 3 of its 4 games and has more pep in its step on both sides of the ball. This should be a comfortable home win for Lamar. I’ll lay the points.
