The Texas A&M-CC Islanders and the New Orleans Privateers meet in college basketball action from the Lakefront Arena on Thursday night.

The Texas A&M-CC Islanders will look to rebound from back-to-back losses after a 79-70 road loss to New Orleans last time out. Isaac Mushila leads the Islanders in scoring and rebounding with 15.2 PPG and 9.7 RPG while Trevian Tennyson has 12.6 PPG to make up the pair of double-digit scorer for the Islanders so far this season. Terrion Murdix has 8.7 PPG and a team-high 3.9 APG this year. As a team, Texas A&M-CC is averaging 78.2 PPG on 45.4% shooting from the field, 33.9% from 3-point range and 73.8% from the foul line while allowing 69.2 PPG on 42.4% shooting from the field and 31.9% from 3-point range this season.

The New Orleans Privateers will hope to bounce back from a 78-70 road loss to Incarnate Word last time out. Derek St. Hilaire leads the Privateers in scoring with 21 PPG along with 3.8 RPG and 2.5 APG while Troy Green has 14.8 PPG and 6.1 RPG to make up the duo of double-digit scorers for New Orleans so far this season. Simeon Kirkland has 8.4 PPG with 5.5 RPG while Tyson Jackson has 8.8 PPG and 4 RPG as well this season. As a team, New Orleans is averaging 76.5 PPG on 46.8% shooting from the field, 31.3% from three and 73% from the foul line while allowing 72.8 PPG on 42.2% shooting from the field and 29.7% from three this season.

Texas A&M-CC is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall and 2-9 ATS in their last 11 Thursday games while the under is 4-1 in their last 5 games following a loss. New Orleans is 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall and 9-4 ATS in their last 11 home games following three or more consecutive road games while the under is 4-1 in their last 5 Thursday games.

I get the case to be made for the Islanders and the free bucket here, but the reality is that New Orleans has been so good at home, that it’s hard to go against them here, even with revenge on the brain. New Orleans is the team playing more consistent ball right now and in this spot, I have to side with the Privateers laying points at home in this one.
