What to Know

The Texas-San Antonio Roadrunners have been on the wrong side of a one-way rivalry with the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs and are hoping to record their first win since Jan. 9 of 2020. Texas-San Antonio and Louisiana Tech will face off in a Conference USA battle at 7 p.m. ET Saturday at Thomas Assembly Center. The Roadrunners should still be feeling good after a victory, while Louisiana Tech will be looking to get back in the win column.

After constant struggles on the road, Texas-San Antonio has finally found some success away from home. They captured a comfortable 98-79 victory over the Southern Miss Golden Eagles on Thursday. Five players on Texas-San Antonio scored in the double digits: guard Dhieu Deing (26), guard Isaiah Addo-Ankrah (21), center Jacob Germany (16), guard Erik Czumbel (16), and guard Darius McNeill (14).

Meanwhile, it was close but no cigar for the Bulldogs as they fell 63-60 to the Texas-El Paso Miners on Thursday. Guard Cobe Williams (19 points) was the top scorer for Louisiana Tech.

The Roadrunners have to know they'll be fighting an uphill battle given the 15.50 point spread they are up against. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread, however, as they are currently on a three-game streak of ATS wins.

Louisiana Tech's defeat took them down to 18-7 while Texas-San Antonio's victory pulled them up to 9-18. In their victory, Texas-San Antonio relied heavily on Erik Czumbel, who dropped a double-double on 16 points and 11 assists. the Bulldogs will need to find a way to minimize his impact if they want to win.
