What to Know

Whitney Gymnasium. The teams split their matchups last year, with Florida A&M winning the first 70-68 at home and the Braves taking the second 68-56.

Meanwhile, Florida A&M escaped with a win on Monday against the Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils by the margin of a single free throw, 60-59. Having forecasted a close victory for Florida A&M, the oddsmakers were right on the money.

This next game looks promising for Alcorn State, who are favored by a full 14.5 points. They are currently four-for-four against the spread in their most recent games, a trend bettors might want to take into account.

The wins brought the Braves up to 7-10 and the Rattlers to 3-13. A couple offensive stats to keep an eye on: Alcorn State has only been able to knock down 38.30% percent of their shots, which is the 357th lowest field goal percentage in college basketball. Florida A&M has experienced some struggles of their own as they are 362nd worst in college basketball in points per game, with only 56.7 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
