I’m not running to the window to back either of these teams that have been treated like a punching bag all season. However, I’m certainly not going to back the SE Louisiana Lions, a club that’s losing by an average of 13.7 points while shooting 38.7 percent from the field. It’s the Northwestern State Demons or pass for me.
