The Lamar Cardinals and the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets meet in college basketball action from McCamish Pavilion on Monday night.
The Lamar Cardinals will look to bounce back from their 104-75 loss at the hands of Miami-Ohio last time out. Jordyn Adams leads the Cardinals in scoring with 12.5 PPG while Kasen Harrison has 12 PPG and team-highs of 6.5 RPG and 4 APG this season. Avontez Ledet has 10 PPG as the third double-digit scorer for Lamar this season. C.J. Roberts also has 9.5 PPG this season for the Cardinals. As a team, Lamar is averaging 71 PPG on 48.2% shooting from the field, 43.2% from three and 65% from the foul line while allowing 77 PPG on 47.5% shooting from the field and 40.7% from three this season.
The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets will be out to build on their first win of the season after a 77-52 win over Stetson in their last game. Michael Devoe leads Georgia Tech with 21.5 PPG, 4.5 APG and 2 SPG along with 4.5 RPG and Jordan Usher has 13 PPG and 10 RPG, averaging a double-double per game to lead the Yellow Jackets in rebounding as the only other double-digit scorer for Georgia Tech through two games. Dallan Coleman also has 8 PPG for Georgia Tech this season. As a team, Georgia Tech is averaging 73 PPG on 45.6% shooting from the field, 36.1% from three and 70.4% from the foul line while allowing 62 PPG on 37.1% from the field and 21.1% from three this season.
Lamar is 4-9 ATS in their last 13 road games and 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games overall while the over is 14-2 in their last 16 games as an underdog. Georgia Tech is 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games overall and 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a win while the under is 4-0 in their last 4 Monday games.
This feels like a lot of points to be giving up to the Yellow Jackets, but let’s not forget that this is a tournament team from last year with Georgia Tech. Lamar had a cupcake in their opener, but in their first real opponent, the Cardinals were throttled by Miami-Ohio. Georgia Tech has had a mixed bag in their first two games, but they’re the better team here and a similar result for Lamar wouldn’t surprise me here. Give me Georgia Tech laying the points.
