Southeastern Louisiana (13-13, 9-4 Southland) at New Orleans (14-10, 9-4 Southland) – 8:00 PM EST (UNOPrivateers.com)
Tonight’s UTR Game of the Day takes us to the Crescent City where the New Orleans Privateers will play host to in-state rival, the Southeastern Louisiana Lions. SELA has won nine of their last ten games coming into tonight’s Battle on the Lakefront, although none of their wins yet have come against the Top 4 teams in the Southland. Their best win was at home against Lamar – that was when they began to play their best ball of the season. Moses Greenwood averages 15.8 points per game and 7.6 rebounds per game.
New Orleans comes into tonight’s game tied for 3rd in the Southland with SELA; both teams are trailing Sam Houston State and Abilene Christian in the conference standings. The Privateers have won five out of their last six games, but 3 out of their last five games involve a pair of games against SELA and a home game against Sam Houston State next week. Ezekiel Charles leads the Privateers with 12.9 points a game and 6.0 rebounds per game.
