Delaware Fightin’ Blue Hens vs Louisiana Tech Bulldogs Picks and Predictions – Saturday, January 10, 2026
Delaware heads to Ruston on Saturday afternoon for a Conference USA matchup against a Louisiana Tech team that has been far more comfortable at home than on the road. The Bulldogs are favored by more than two possessions, which tells you the market is pricing their home-court edge and their ability to control the game with rebounding and defensive structure. Delaware’s path is narrower, but it’s clear, keep the game in the halfcourt, avoid live-ball turnover runs, and hit enough threes to force Louisiana Tech out of its preferred defensive rhythm.
This number also puts a spotlight on late-game script. If Louisiana Tech is up five to nine points late, Delaware’s three-point variance can create a quick swing toward a cover, and it can also change the way the final minute is played. With a low total, every empty trip matters, and both sides are going to value shot quality over tempo. If you see lineup news that adds ball-handling or shooting, that matters more in a game priced at 122.5 than it would in a higher-total environment.

Delaware Fightin’ Blue Hens vs Louisiana Tech Bulldogs Odds
These are the current betting lines, and bettors should keep tracking movement throughout the day on the latest college basketball odds board.
| Team | Moneyline | Spread | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Delaware Fightin’ Blue Hens | +230 | +6.5 (-110) | O 122.5 (-111) |
| Louisiana Tech Bulldogs | -285 | -6.5 (-110) | U 122.5 (-110) |
Delaware Fightin’ Blue Hens Betting Form
Delaware is 5-10 overall and comes in off a 72-60 loss to Sam Houston, a game where the offense struggled to generate easy points for long stretches. Christian Bliss was the bright spot with 18 points and seven assists, and Tyler Houser added 15 points and seven rebounds. Those two have to set the floor for Delaware’s offense here, because Louisiana Tech’s biggest strength at home is forcing opponents into late-clock possessions and then finishing the stop with a rebound.
The Blue Hens’ best betting angle is perimeter shooting. They’re hitting 35.0% from three, and that’s the lever that can keep them connected even if the possession battle tilts toward the home team. Justyn Fernandez gives them a real spacing piece, and if Delaware is getting clean looks early, it can put pressure on a Louisiana Tech offense that is not built to win a track meet. The cover script is staying within one or two trips at halftime, winning enough non-rebound possessions with made threes, and forcing Louisiana Tech to execute in the halfcourt to extend the margin.

Louisiana Tech Bulldogs Betting Form
Louisiana Tech is 8-7 and trying to respond after a 72-56 loss to Liberty, a game where the offense never found a consistent rhythm. DJ Dudley led the way with 17 points, and he remains the key scoring piece because he can get to spots without needing the game to be fast or loose. The bigger reason the Bulldogs are favored here is what they’ve done in Ruston. They have won eight of nine at the Thomas Assembly Center, and that home form has consistently shown up in the two areas that matter most for laying points, defensive possessions that end in rebounds and second-chance creation on the other end.
Rebounding is the center of this handicap. Louisiana Tech’s 40.8 rebounds per game signals a team that can dictate the possession count, and that matters more than usual in a low-total game where six or seven extra possessions can swing both the spread and the total. Kaden Cooper is a stabilizer inside, and if he is controlling the paint and cleaning the glass, Louisiana Tech can build a margin without needing an elite shooting night. If Delaware’s threes aren’t falling, the Bulldogs can grind this into the kind of game where the underdog is constantly chasing. You can track their recent form on the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs team page, and you should still check the Louisiana Tech injury report before you lock anything in.
Matchup Breakdown
This matchup comes down to two things, can Delaware create enough clean threes to offset Louisiana Tech’s likely edge in rebounding, and can Louisiana Tech score efficiently enough to separate in a game with a low total. Delaware’s best chance to stay inside the number is to avoid foul trouble and keep the Bulldogs from living at the line, because that’s where home favorites often stretch late. If Delaware is defending without sending Louisiana Tech into repeated free throws, it keeps the game in the range where a couple of made threes can flip a cover.
The total is also telling you how the market expects this to play. A 122.5 implies a slower pace and fewer transition chances, which should keep the spread more “fragile” than it would be in a game expected to reach the mid-140s. If Louisiana Tech is controlling the glass but not converting efficiently, the game can stay close while still trending under. If Delaware’s threes are falling, it can threaten both the side and the over, but the more consistent script is a lower-possession game where every rebound and turnover matters.
Delaware Fightin’ Blue Hens vs Louisiana Tech Bulldogs Predictions and Best Bets
I lean Delaware +6.5. Louisiana Tech’s home profile is real, but this is a low-total setup where covers are often decided by a couple of late possessions, and Delaware has the type of three-point shooting that can keep the margin from stretching. If Bliss and Houser can steady the offense and Delaware gets average shooting from deep, the number is playable even if Louisiana Tech wins the game.
I also lean under 122.5 based on the market pace signal and the way both teams are built to play longer possessions. The only real danger to the under is late fouling in a one to two possession game, so price and end-game script matter.
Best Bet: Delaware +6.5 (-110).
