What to Know

Get ready for a Sun Belt battle as the Arkansas State Red Wolves and the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks will face off at 7:30 p.m. ET Friday at Fant-Ewing Coliseum. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W.'

Arkansas State received a tough blow on Wednesday as they fell 85-74 to the Louisiana Ragin Cajuns.

Meanwhile, it was close but no cigar for Louisiana-Monroe as they fell 82-78 to the Troy Trojans on Wednesday.

The Red Wolves are expected to lose this next one by 5. They are currently three-for-three against the spread in their most recent games, however, a trend bettors might want to take into account.

The losses bumped both teams down to an identical 11-19. A pair of offensive numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Arkansas State is 20th worst in college basketball in points per game, with only 65.3 on average. Louisiana-Monroe has experienced some struggles of their own as they have only been able to knock down 41.20% percent of their shots, which is the 14th lowest field goal percentage in college basketball. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
