Meanwhile, the total points line at 136.5 suggests expectations of a moderately paced game with effective defenses from both squads. Historically, the Trojans have leaned towards covering spreads when given similar odds, whereas the Ragin' Cajuns will need an exceptional performance to beat the chances.

Key Factors

Several factors will play a pivotal role in determining the outcome of this game. Troy’s ability to control the tempo and exploit defensive gaps will be crucial. On the other hand, the Ragin' Cajuns must capitalize on their home court advantage, resisting Troy’s offensive pressure.

Pick and Analysis
