How To Watch
What to Know
Nicholls State has enjoyed a two-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. They and the New Orleans Privateers will face off in a Southland battle at 7:30 p.m. ET on Monday at Lakefront Arena. Both of these teams will be looking for a pick-me-up after considerable defeats in their previous games.
It’s hard to win when your shooting is a whole 21.7% worse than the opposition, a fact Nicholls State found out the hard way on Saturday. There’s no need to mince words: the Colonels lost to the Cowboys, and the Colonels lost bad. The score wound up at 74-47. The result shouldn’t come as a shock considering that’s the fewest points Nicholls State has scored all season.
Meanwhile, New Orleans’ recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Saturday after their third straight loss. Their painful 94-72 loss to the Cardinals might stick with them for a while. The oddsmakers set the bar high with a 160-point over/under, but they still managed to beat it.
The Colonels’ defeat ended a four-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 13-12. As for the Privateers, they have traveled a rocky road recently having lost nine of their last ten matches, which put a noticeable dent in their 8-18 record this season.
Nicholls State skirted past the Privateers 78-75 in their previous meeting back in January. The rematch might be a little tougher for Nicholls State since the squad won’t have the home-court advantage this time around. We’ll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
