What to Know

The Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks haven't won a matchup against the Georgia Southern Eagles since Feb. 8 of 2019, but they'll be looking to end the drought Thursday. The Warhawks will play host again and welcome Georgia Southern to Fant-Ewing Coliseum, where tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. Given that these two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.

The game between Louisiana-Monroe and the South Alabama Jaguars on Saturday was not a total blowout, but with Louisiana-Monroe falling 68-56 at home, it was darn close to turning into one.

Meanwhile, Georgia Southern came up short against the App. State Mountaineers on Saturday, falling 70-62.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Louisiana-Monroe is expected to win a tight contest. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (4-2), so they might be worth a quick bet.

The Warhawks are now 10-10 while the Eagles sit at 8-9. Two stats to keep an eye on: Louisiana-Monroe has allowed their opponents to shoot 45.60% from the floor on average, which is the 33rd highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball.
