I’m not running to the window to bet on either of these teams, as they both have serious issues. The SE Louisiana Lions are the better team, but they haven’t played since December 21. The Houston Baptist Huskies are coming off one of their better showings of the year. Tournament game and early start, you should expect sluggish play from both sides. Give me the points.
