What to Know

Get ready for a Sun Belt battle as the South Alabama Jaguars and the Louisiana Ragin Cajuns will face off at 9 p.m. ET Friday at Cajundome. These two teams seek to continue their momentum from their previous wins.

South Alabama was able to grind out a solid victory over the Texas State-San Marcos Bobcats on Wednesday, winning 76-67.

Meanwhile, Louisiana strolled past the Arkansas State Red Wolves with points to spare on Wednesday, taking the contest 85-74.

The Jaguars are expected to lose this next one by 4.5. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread, however, as they are currently on a five-game streak of ATS wins.

It was close but no cigar for South Alabama as they fell 79-76 to Louisiana in the teams' previous meeting in January. Can South Alabama avenge their defeat, or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll soon find out.
