Texas A&M-Commerce Lions vs Nicholls Colonels prediction
The Texas A&M-Commerce Lions are playing good ball, and this recent winning stretch is the best they’ve looked all year. However, Texas A&M-Commerce can have issues offensively at times, and playing the second game in as many days won’t help. The Nicholls State Colonels are rested, and they beat Texas A&M-Commerce twice this season. Nicholls State is also 17-11 ATS on the season. Assuming the line isn’t anything crazy, I’ll side with the Nicholls State Colonels to advance in the Southland Tournament.
