East Texas A&M knocked off UT Rio Grande Valley four games ago, 77-69, as an underdog. 6-8 juniors Ronnie Harrison (15.6 ppg, 6.1 rpg) and Noah Pagotto (8.3 ppg, 4.8 rpg) pound the glass, while 6-5 senior guard Damian Garcia (10.9 ppg) runs the backcourt. Incarnate Word is a big favorite, but has a losing conference mark. They're seventh in the 12-team Southland Conference defensively in points given up (71.3 per game) and eighth in shooting allowed (45%). They're on a 1-3 SU, 0-4 ATS run, coming off a 76-74 win over Northwestern State at home as an 8.5-point favorite, allowing 53% shooting. Play East Texas A&M.
