Nicholls State at Stephen F. Austin

SF Austin has always had a strong basketball program. The Lumberjacks are 24-3 on the season. There is a lot of pressure at this stage to win, because as a low major, their KenPom rating is in the 90's. That simply means they have to win their conference postseason championship. Nichols St. is a dangerous opponent. The Colonels are just 11-16 on the season, but this team started 0-7 and also suffered 5 straight losses at another point of the season. Outside the losing streaks, they are 11-4. I think the points are too high for the situation here. Make the play on Nichols St.
