Why bet on the Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks?
It’s always worth taking a look at teams that finished the season on a positive run. As well as winning the Southland Conference title game, the Lumberjacks also won 10 of their last 11 games, giving them a season record of 28-6. As impressive as those numbers are, it’s worth noting that they did not have a single game against a ranked opponent this year, so the opening round tilt against Texas Tech is undoubtedly the stiffest challenge they will have faced. It may help explain why they are coming into this game as an 11 ½ point underdog. This is a team that knows how to score, though, as they averaged an impressive 81.1 PPG this season, whilst also staying tight on the defensive end of the court, giving up just 68.1 PPG. If they can get out to a fast start here, they could pose some problems for the Red Raiders.Team Statistics
- Points Per Game: 81.1
- Rebounds Per Game: 35.8
- Assists Per Game: 14.4
- Points Allowed: 68.1
Why bet on the Texas Tech Red Raiders?
The Texas Tech Red Raiders finished the season with a 24-9 record, which includes games in the Big 12 tournament but the alarming thing for this team is that many of those losses came in the home stretch of the season. In the final few weeks of the regular season, the Red Raiders went on a 4-game losing skid and eventually lost 5 of their last 7.
It’s never a good thing to head into the postseason when you are not playing your best ball, but as the #3 seed in the West region, they have the opportunity to get rolling and get the confidence back a little with a win over a lesser opponent in the opening round. 4 of the 9 losses that the Red Raiders took this season were against ranked teams, so you need to like their chances here. Texas Tech went 11-11-1 ATS as the favorite this season.
