Southeastern Louisiana went just 2-9 in their first 11 games with wins over Cal Baptist and Grambling State. Since then the Lions have played better with a 4-4 record over eight games. Southeastern LA has fallen to Sam Houston State and Nicholls State in their last pair. 

In the 86-84 OT loss to Nicholls on Saturday, Southeastern Louisiana’s Gus Okafor doubled up on 19 points with 11 rebounds and one assist. Nick Caldwell put up 19 points with five rebounds, and Keon Clergeot had 17 points with four assists and two rebounds. 

Over on the Texas A&M-CC side, they went 3-6 through their first nine games with wins over Texas A&M-International, Our Lady of the Lake and Paul Quinn. Since then it’s been nine straight losses for the Islanders, most recently to Abilene Christian. 

In the 83-55 loss to Abilene Christian on Saturday, Texas A&M-CC’s Nolan Bertain led the way on 16 points with two rebounds in 25 minutes. De’Lazarus Keys was also in double-figures there with 15 points and seven rebounds. 

Texas A&M-CC is 8-3 ATS in their last 11 Wednesday games and 3-13 ATS in their last 16 versus a team with a losing straight-up record. The over is 5-0 in the Islanders’ last five Wednesday games and 5-1 in their last six overall. 

Meanwhile, the Lions are 1-4 ATS in their last five road games and 8-2 ATS in their last 10 Wednesday games. Southeastern LA is 4-1 ATS in their last five versus a team with a losing straight-up record and the over is 4-1 in their last five as a favorite. 

PICK: I’m sticking with Southeastern LA, but there’s not much to like here. The Islanders haven’t scored more than 69 points in any of their last four games, and they’ve allowed 80 or more in each of their last three. The Lions have been spotty on scoring lately but if they can get an early rhythm going I don’t think they’ll have much trouble finding a win/cover.
