Who's Playing
Louisiana-Monroe @ Tulane
Current Records: Louisiana-Monroe 2-5; Tulane 4-2
What to Know
The Tulane Green Wave will look to defend their home court Monday against the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks at 7 p.m. ET. Given that both teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this matchup.
It looks like the Green Wave got the smaller half of the wishbone at Thanksgiving dinner. They were within striking distance but couldn't close the gap last Wednesday as they fell 71-65 to the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers. Guard Sion James wasn't much of a difference maker for Tulane; James played for 34 minutes but put up just six points on 2-for-10 shooting.
Meanwhile, Louisiana-Monroe was just a bucket short of a win this past Saturday and fell 65-64 to the Loyola-Maryland Greyhounds.
Tulane is the favorite in this one, with an expected 18.5-point margin of victory. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past five games, so buyers beware.
Tulane is now 4-2 while Louisiana-Monroe sits at 2-5. The Green Wave don't typically stay down for long -- they're 1-0 after losses this year -- so the Warhawks (1-3 after losses) won't have an easy go of it.
