LA Tech comes into this game at a respectable 8-6 on the season. The record is a bit deceptive as the Bulldogs have lost several close calls as four of the losses have come by six or fewer points, and if they won a couple of those we would be looking at a different line here. Rice is off to an 11-3 start. There are several wins vs very weak competition that has helped build the stats and the record. Rice has shot the ball well, but in their last two games vs similar competition as in this game, they were limited to less than 40% in both. LA Tech allows just 43% against them and the defense is going to come to the rescue on the road. Make the play on LA Tech.

Pro Picks
Rice at Louisiana Tech
Louisiana Tech has one of their best basketball teams in a while at 15-4 to start the season. They may be facing somewhat of a letdown as they saw their 7 games winning streak come to an end at the hands of UAB their last time out. Rice is a competent team at 11-7 and the Owls are 6-3 in their last 9. This will be a big number for the Bulldogs to tackle in a team that may not be in the best of emotional states after a winning streak has ended. Winning streaks tend to keep a team highly focused, but the game after it ends sometimes makes it difficult to summon that same amount of energy. I like Rice in this one.
