What to Know

The Tigers and Southern will face off in an SWAC battle at 8:30 p.m. ET Monday at Health & PE Center. Texas Southern will be strutting in after a win while Southern will be stumbling in from a loss.

The sound you heard this past Thursday was the absolute smackdown Texas Southern laid on the Huston-Tillotson Rams.

Meanwhile, Southern received a tough blow two weeks ago as they fell 80-62 to the Southeastern Louisiana Lions.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Texas Southern is expected to win a tight contest. But bettors beware: they are 0-2 against the spread when favored.

The Tigers' victory brought them up to 4-9 while the Jaguars' defeat pulled them down to an identical 4-9. Texas Southern is 0-3 after wins this year, and Southern is 3-5 after losses.
