Houston Christian vs McNeese Prediction

I’ll stick with McNeese I suppose. The Cowboys didn’t have a whole lot of trouble versus East Texas A&M in their last game, hitting a nice 55.6 percent from the field with 54.2 percent (13-of-24) from outside and 38 rebounds. McNeese had 25 team assists but also coughed up 15 turnovers in the win. The Cowboys have 92 or more points in two of the last three games (winning all three), the outlier being a 66-64 victory over Rhode Island last Tuesday. If McNeese can put up a 70-plus points total here they should be in good shape.

As for Houston Christian, they shot pretty well (44.8 percent) and had a 35-28 rebounding edge in their latest OT loss to Southeastern LA. The Huskies did cough up 16 turnovers though, which didn’t help their cause. Houston Christian does have a nice 69 or more points in eight of 10 games this year, but they’re giving up a lot of scoring to decent offenses as well.
