UL Monroe Warhawks Betting Preview

The UL Monroe Warhawks beat Champion Christian, and they play Tulane and Rice next.

Jerry Ngopot is averaging 16 points and 5 rebounds, while Makai Willis is averaging 15 points and 7 rebounds. AD Diedhiou is the third double-digit scorer and Jalen Bolden is grabbing 5 rebounds.

LSU Tigers Betting Preview

The LSU Tigers play Alabama State and Kansas State next. LSU won 17 Games last season and entered year 3 under coach Matt McMahon.

Tyrell Ward returned after averaging 9.1 points and 2.3 rebounds, while Jalen Reed averaged 7.9 points and 4.1 rebounds. Mike Williams III averaged 2.2 rebounds per game and Derek Fountain played in 656 minutes last season. LSU lost its top three scorers from last season, all of which were double-digit scorers. Guys like Ward and Reed will need to take another step forward if this season is going to be a success. There’s a lot of competition in the SEC, but LSU has won 17 or more games in 6 of the last 7 seasons.

Why the LSU Tigers will win

• LSU has won each of its last eight games against the Sun Belt Conference.
• Louisiana-Monroe has lost each of its last seven away games when playing with a rest disadvantage.
• Louisiana-Monroe has lost the first half in each of its last eight road night games against non-conference opponents.

LSU vs Louisiana-Monroe Prediction

LSU is getting the benefit of the doubt for obvious reasons, as there is a talent gap. However, let’s not act like LSU is an upper-level SEC team and there’s going to be a transition period with so much lost production. Louisiana-Monroe was able to get a Game under its belt, knock the rust off, and it looked good despite the lack of comPetition. This line is thick, and I’m not sure LSU deserves it. Give me Louisiana-Monroe and the boatload of points.
