Jacksonville State Looks to Stay Perfect In CUSA
Jacksonville State is off to a perfect start in Conference USA play this year. They are 4-0 in conference play, putting them in a tie with Western Kentucky for first place in the league standings. The Gamecocks can stay in position to make the conference title game with a win this week. To get that win, the defense of Jacksonville State will look to continue performing at a high level against conference foes, as the Gamecocks have yet to allow 25 points in a conference game this season.
Can Louisiana Tech Offense Wake Back Up?
The Louisiana Tech Bulldogs are 3-5 overall this season and 2-3 in Conference USA play. Here, the Bulldogs will look to get back to the .500 mark in league play, but they will need their offense to show up for that to happen. Louisiana Tech has scored just 6.5 points per game over their last two games, a win against UTEP and a loss against Sam Houston State. Against a tough Jacksonville State team, failing to score more than 10 points just won’t be enough.
Jacksonville State vs Louisiana Tech Betting Pick
