Texas A&M-CC vs Incarnate Word Prediction

I’ll lean toward Texas A&M-CC but I’m probably not touching it. The Isles couldn’t handle McNeese in a home matchup this week, shooting a tepid 41.5 percent from the field with 21.4 percent (3-of-14) from outside and a 37-19 rebounding deficit. The 40-26 disadvantage in the paint didn’t help matters either. Texas A&M-CC is still 5-2 in their last seven games though, with 68 or more points in four of those seven.

As for Incarnate Word, they shot just 32.8 percent from the field and 19 percent (4-of-21) from 3-point range alongside a 42-20 disadvantage on points in the paint during their most recent home loss to East Texas A&M on Monday. The Cardinals have lost four of the last five and they’ve been below 59 points in three of the last four.
