Tuesday’s Nicholls vs McNeese State matchup is for all the marbles in the Southland Conference. We expect McNeese State to win by a large margin in this contest, claiming a conference championship and NCAA Tournament berth. The Cowboys have been dominant over their last four games, winning them all by an average margin of 20 points per game. We should see a similar margin in this contest, especially with Nicholls operating on tired legs after beating Texas A&M-Corpus Christi in overtime late last night.
