What to Know

The Arkansas State Red Wolves and the Louisiana Ragin Cajuns will face off in a Sun Belt clash at 5 p.m. ET Feb. 5 at First National Bank Arena. Louisiana should still be riding high after a big victory, while the Red Wolves will be looking to get back in the win column.

Arkansas State was just a bucket short of a win on Thursday and fell 60-59 to the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks.

Meanwhile, the Ragin Cajuns took their contest against the Little Rock Trojans on Thursday by a conclusive 75-51 score.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Arkansas State is expected to win a tight contest Saturday. Those burned by picking them against the spread on Thursday might want to keep in mind that the squad has not yet dropped back-to-back games against the spread this season.

In the teams' previous meeting in January, Arkansas State was in the race but had to settle for second with an 83-77 finish. Maybe they will have more luck at home instead of on the road? Watch the matchup and check back on CBS Sports for all the details.
