This is a 10* play on LOUISIANA

The Sun Belt Tournament format is one that greatly favors the top seeds. The top two teams only have to win once to make the Final. The #3 and #4 seeds need to win only twice to get there. Everyone else is facing an uphill climb, including a South Alabama team that would have to win FOUR times just to make the Final. We certainly don't see that happening. The Jaguars had little trouble getting by Arkansas State in the opening round (won 75-67) and got a day off prior to today's matchup. But UL Lafayette has played well this last month. The Ragin Cajuns are 6-2 straight up their last eight games and 7-1 ATS. What if I told you that they are one of the nation's highest scoring teams? They are, averaging 82.0 points per game! It was a high-scoring game when these teams met in the regular season. Louisiana won 88-84. South Alabama is unlikely to score that many again (they average 73.2 PPG) and is surprisingly not getting much help from the oddsmakers here. We were surprised at how low this number was when it opened. Play on LOUISIANA
