LA Monroe vs Texas State Prediction
I’ll stay with the Bobcats. Texas State took care of a pretty good Troy team in their last matchup, shooting a very nice 59.6 percent from the field with a 32-16 edge on points in the paint. It wasn’t perfect though, as the Bobcats had just 2-of-9 (22.2 percent) from 3-point range and 13 turnovers in the win. Texas State has won five straight games now, with 72 or more points scored in all of those outings.
These teams last met up way back on January 3 in an 84-79 road win for the Bobcats. In that one Texas State shot very well (50.7 percent) from the field with a 48-28 advantage on points in the paint and a 35-24 edge in rebounding. The Bobcats did give up 50 percent shooting on the other side though, and had 11 turnovers along the way. Still, Texas State should be in control during this home rematch.
