East Texas A&M vs Stephen F. Austin Prediction

I’m on Stephen F. Austin here. East Texas A&M is the worst team in the Southland and they’re doing a fantastic job of living up to that namesake as they keep finding ways to lose basketball games. Some games are competitive, while others have been blowouts. For the most part, a lack of offense has been what’s done in East Texas A&M, and while it likely won’t hurt them against Stephen F. Austin. The Lumberjacks are the better team playing better basketball right now and I’ll back them on the road in this one.
