What to Know

The Southeastern Louisiana Lions and the Nicholls State Colonels are set to square off in a Southland matchup at 4:30 p.m. ET Feb. 11 at University Center. Nicholls State should still be feeling good after a big victory, while the Lions will be looking to regain their footing.

It was close but no cigar for Southeastern Louisiana as they fell 69-66 to the McNeese State Cowboys on Thursday.

Meanwhile, the Colonels made easy work of the New Orleans Privateers on Thursday and carried off an 84-59 win.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Southeastern Louisiana is expected to win a tight contest Saturday. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past two games, so buyers beware.

Southeastern Louisiana ended up a good deal behind Nicholls State when they played in the teams' previous meeting last December, losing 88-73. Maybe the Lions will have more luck at home instead of on the road? Watch the game and check back on CBS Sports for all the details.
