Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns vs. Old Dominion Monarchs

We are backing Old Dominion -5.5 at home as Louisiana remains severely shorthanded with starters Jamyron Keller and Sean Elkinton both confirmed out for the remainder of the season due to foot injuries. While the Ragin' Cajuns are reeling from a recent loss to Coastal Carolina, the Monarchs carry massive momentum into Chartway Arena following a 78-55 blowout of Georgia State on Saturday. With Ketron Shaw coming off a 28-point performance and ODU's frontcourt healthy, they are well-positioned to exploit a depleted Louisiana rotation that lacks the depth to sustain a high-tempo road environment.
