What to Know

The Louisiana Tech Bulldogs and the Florida Atlantic Owls are set to square off in a Conference USA matchup at 2 p.m. ET Feb. 11 at Eleanor R. Baldwin Arena. Florida Atlantic will be strutting in after a victory while the Bulldogs will be stumbling in from a loss.

Louisiana Tech was close but no cigar on Thursday as they fell 66-62 to the Florida International Panthers. Guard Cobe Williams had a pretty forgettable game, picking up five fouls and turning the ball over nine times en route to a 16-point finish.

Meanwhile, Florida Atlantic beat the Rice Owls 90-81 on Thursday. Florida Atlantic can attribute much of their success to guard Alijah Martin, who had 16 points along with seven rebounds, and center Vladislav Goldin, who had 19 points in addition to nine boards.

Louisiana Tech is the clear underdog, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. However, those who like betting on the underdog should be happy to hear that they are 5-2 against the spread when expected to lose.

The Bulldogs are now 13-11 while Florida Atlantic sits at 23-2. Florida Atlantic is 20-2 after wins this year, and Louisiana Tech is 5-5 after losses.
