In this article, we will formulate a New Orleans vs Lindenwood Prediction for this college basketball game on Thursday, November 14th, at the UMPC Events Center. 

Slow Start for New Orleans

It’s been a slow start to the season for New Orleans and they have lost each of their first two games. In the first game of the season against Kansas State, New Orleans scored 65 points while the defense gave up 89 points. In the last game against Troy, New Orleans scored only 61 points and they ended up losing by 17 points. At the end of the first quarter, they were down 43-20 and in the second half, it didn’t get any better. One issue for this New Orleans team is they are top-heavy. James White scored 23 points and Jah Short scored 14 points, but the rest of the offense couldn’t get anything going. The next-highest scorer had only four points. In this game, New Orleans needs a more balanced attack. 

Can Lindenwood Be Competitive?

There were five different players that put up at least 11 points and they are going to need a balanced attack again.
