Kennesesaw State vs. Louisiana Tech Key Player to Watch

AJ Bates, G - Louisiana Tech Bulldogs

AJ Bates has carried this Louisiana Tech team all the way to the final. He scored 29 points in the quarterfinal against Middle Tennessee, and then put up 27 points in the semifinal against Missouri State. If he has another performance like that in the final, Louisiana Tech is going to be tough to beat.

Kennesaw State vs. Louisiana Tech Prediction and Pick

Louisiana Tech has been a great defensive team all season long, currently ranking 53rd in the country in defensive efficiency, but the Bulldogs struggled offensively. So far in the tournament, AJ Bates has taken the offense into his own hands, and it's worked wonders.

If they can continue to play shutdown defense and let Bates cook. Louisiana Tech will have the perfect combination to win Saturday's final. Bates and the rest of the Bulldogs' roster will get to face a Kennesaw State team that ranks just 164th in the country in defensive efficiency, so there's no reason they can't keep the hot streak up.

Pick: Louisiana Tech +2.5 (-120)
