Louisiana Lafayette Ragin Cajuns vs. Arkansas Little Rock Trojans Prediction

The Ragin' Cajuns played poorly in their latest game against the Red Wolves falling by three points and while they were in this game until the final buzzer, they allowed Arkansas State to shoot 55.8% from the field. Their work on the boards kept them in the game, but that’s not something that they can count on happening against Arkansas-Little Rock who really gets out-rebounded. I’ll take the home side getting the small number.
