(NCAAB) Louisiana-Lafayette vs. Arkansas-Little Rock, 03/12/2016 9:00 AM, Score: 65 - 72
Point Spread: -3.00 | -106.00 Arkansas-Little Rock (Home)
Result: Win
The Sun Belt gives their #3 and #4 seeds a bye and their #1 and #2 seeds a double bye so this is Little Rocks first games since Thursday, March 3rd while ULL pounded South Alabama, 90-68, yesterday. The Ragin' Cajuns win gives us value here as they handily beat South Alabama but the Jaguars were without Ken Williams yesterday who was by far their best player. Statistically the Trojans ranks #2 in the Sun Belt in FG% and #1 in defensive FG% while ULL ranks #3 and #8 respectively. There is even a wider gap in 3-point FG% as Little Rock is #1 in BOTH offense and defense while ULL is last and second last accordingly. While comparing stats with their conference ranks give you a quick gauge but the Trojans #1 Sun Belt defense also translates to the NCAA's top scoring defense and a #7 ranked FG% which has held 19 of its opponents to under 40% shooting. Add in that Arkansas LR is 5-0 ATS playing a winning team the second half of the season and that after the regular reason the lead the country in wins (27) makes for a great team to back when your laying under a couple of hoops.
