The Privateers did not have a good regular season, but they beat SELA in the tournament on Sunday. New Orleans is allowing over 80 points against per game on defense and they are only shooting 41.9% from the field, but they will look for a second straight upset win here. Lamar won the first two meetings by scores of 98-73 and 94-72 and I expect another easy win for the Cardinals.
