The NIT semifinal game today in Frisco, Texas will have two Bulldogs teams pitted against each other, Louisiana Tech and Mississippi State. Mississippi State is lucky to be where they are. It took a 3-pointer with seconds left on the clock to defeat a Richmond Spiders team that was without two of their top performers. Louisiana Tech, on the other hand, took command of the game against the Hilltoppers and never looked back, winning 72-65. With their win on Thursday, Louisiana Tech has now won 8 of their last 9 and has been a covering machine. They are 18-5 ATS in their last 23 overall and 11-2 ATS in their last 13 against teams with a straight up winning record. The line has been in flux but wherever it ends up, Louisiana Tech scores more, gives up less, and is worth considering.
