Friday’s match is shaping up to be a scrappy contest: UL Monroe have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 37.8 rebounds per game. It’s a different story for South Alabama, though, as they’ve been averaging only 33 rebounds per game. Given UL Monroe’s sizable advantage in that area, the Jaguars will need to find a way to close that gap.

UL Monroe was able to grind out a solid victory over the Jaguars in their previous meeting back in January, winning 80-66. The rematch might be a little tougher for UL Monroe since the team won’t have the home-court advantage this time around. We’ll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
