Huskies will face off in a Southland battle at 8:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday at Montagne Center. Houston Chr. took a loss in their last contest and will be looking to turn the tables on Lamar, who comes in off a win.

Meanwhile, Houston Chr.’s recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Monday after their sixth straight loss. They received a tough blow as they fell 87-69 to the Cowboys. The over/under was set at 156 points, so nice work oddsmakers; you were right on the money.
The Cardinals’ victory was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 17-13. Those victories were due in large part to their offensive dominance across that stretch, as they averaged 80.8 points per game.

This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: Lamar have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 38.4 rebounds per game. However, it’s not like Houston Chr. struggles in that department as they’ve been averaging 37.1 rebounds per game.
