Nicholls State has had a rough week, losing 84-81 in overtime to Southeastern Louisiana and a 72-60 home loss to Northwestern State as a 7-point favorite. The offense shoots 42.7% from the field and 69.9% from the line. The defense is eighth in the 12-team Southland Conference in points given up and second-to-last in rebounding. New Orleans plays the second of a four-game homestand after covering against top-ranked McNeese State. They've covered four of five, part of a 6-4 ATS run. That included a win over Lamar, 68-62, as a +12.5 underdog. Nicholls State was an 11-point favorite over New Orleans in December, but it was close in a 73-70 final. This is a good situational and matchup spot for the home dog. Play New Orleans.
