What to Know

The Texas Southern Tigers have enjoyed the comforts of home their last three games, but now they must head out on the road. Texas Southern and the Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions will face off in an SWAC battle at 4 p.m. ET Saturday at H.O. Clemmons Arena. Texas Southern won both of their matches against Arkansas-Pine Bluff last season (90-71 and 70-68) and is aiming for the same result this time around.

On Wednesday, Texas Southern lost to the Grambling Tigers at home by a decisive 85-72 margin.

Meanwhile, the game between the Golden Lions and the Alabama State Hornets on Wednesday was not a total blowout, but with Arkansas-Pine Bluff falling 80-66 on the road, it was darn close to turning into one.

Texas Southern is the favorite in this one, with an expected 5.5-point margin of victory. But bettors beware: they are 0-4 against the spread when favored.

The losses bumped both teams down to an identical 4-11.
