Louisiana Tech at Rice

The Rice Owls have certainly not fared well on the season, with just seven wins and 14 losses, but this has been a team that has done very well at home. The Owls have recorded a 6-3 mark on home hardwood over their last nine. They've tallied seven wins on the season with just one on the road, so they are truly capable on their home floor. The fact is that they are a one-point win away from being shutout at 0-10 on the road, so this team is better positioned at home than their record indicates. Louisiana Tech is 16-5, but many games were unlined games vs. teams they earned a virtual automatic win agains. Just 13 of their 21 games have been lined, and they have not fared so well in those at 5-8 ATS. The Bulldogs are just 4-3 SU in their last seven, and just 1-4 SU in their last five lined games on the road. The Owls have found success at home, with the 16-5 and overrated Tech team not getting it done on the road. Play Rice on the moneyline.
