Louisiana Tech is heading into this game with a great victory in the last game out over Middle Tennessee. However, the Bulldogs are a team that has to continue to play at the same level that brought them home a victory in the last 2 games if they are going to beat the Monarchs who have been playing decent on the season as well.

The Bulldogs have been able to be led in the scoring by DaQuan Bracey with 13.4 points a game. He has managed to get 4.1 assist a game as well. When it comes to rebounding the Bulldogs have been led by Oliver Powell who has been able to get 5.9 boards a game.
Old Dominion has been playing in some very close games on the season, but the problem for the Monarchs is they have been losing some of those strong test they have had. With the way they have been playing that could easily spell disaster for the team going forward even as the team has not been able to keep the great game play up like they were expecting to be able to do in some of the games.

The Monarchs have been able to be led by Ahmad Caver who has put in a total of 18 points a game and 5.3 assist a game. The Monarchs have been able to be led in the rebounding category by B.J. Stith who has pulled down 8.3 boards a game.

The Bulldogs are not the favored team in this battle here, which is a good thing because the Bulldogs will not win the game as the Monarchs should be able to contain Barcey and Stith can easily out rebound Powell to clean up any missed shots. The difference will be the point spread is too much for the Monarchs to cover with the close games they have been in. Final Score Prediction, Old Dominion Monarchs win, but do not cover ATS 69-65.
