The SE Louisiana Lions (6-8) come into town playing great basketball. The Lions have won their last four games, albeit against weak competition. The Lions do not play an exciting brand of basketball by any means. SE Louisiana averages only 68 points per night and turn the ball over 14 times per game. The Lions are spearheaded by Junior Guard Roger McFarlane, McFarlane averages 13.7 points and 7.1 rebounds per game. Expect a slow pace and a heavy dose of McFarlane in this one.

The Nicholls Colonels (6-8) had high hopes for the season after an early upset win over LSU. However, The Colonels have not beaten another quality opponent. In fact, in their most recent game, Nicholls went to to overtime in a narrow win over Houston Christian, who is one of the worst teams in D-1. Nicholls will utilize Jamal West Jr. (17 points 8.9 rebounds) and Diante Smith (14.5 points 6.5 rebounds) to try and replicate that LSU game performance.
