What to Know

Get ready for a Southland battle as the Incarnate Word Cardinals and the New Orleans Privateers will face off at 5 p.m. ET Saturday at Lakefront Arena. New Orleans will be strutting in after a victory while Incarnate Word will be stumbling in from a defeat.

The contest between the Cardinals and the Nicholls State Colonels on Thursday was not a total blowout, but with Incarnate Word falling 69-58 on the road, it was darn close to turning into one.

Meanwhile, New Orleans beat the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi Islanders 78-69 on Thursday.

Incarnate Word is expected to lose this next one by 9.5. They are currently four-for-four against the spread in their most recent games, however, a trend bettors might want to take into account.

Incarnate Word was able to grind out a solid win over the Privateers in the teams' previous meeting earlier this month, winning 78-70. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Cardinals since the team won't have home-court advantage. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
