The Southern Jaguars and the Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions meet in college basketball action from the H.O. Clemons Arena on Saturday afternoon.
The Southern Jaguars will look to rebound from a 57-53 loss to Jackson State last time out. Jayden Saddler leads the Jaguars in scoring and assists with 10.2 PPG and 5.6 APG while Ahsante Shivers has 10 PPG to cap off the duo of double-digit scorers for Southern so far this season. Damiree Burns has 9.3 PPG with 5 RPG while Harrison Henderson has 7.8 PPG and 7.7 RPG to lead Southern in rebounding this season. As a team, Southern is averaging 67.9 PPG on 42.1% shooting from the field, 33.7% from 3-point range and 66.1% from the foul line while allowing 70.5 PPG on 41.7% shooting from the field and 32.6% from 3-point range this season.
The Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions will look for a bounce back of their own after a 56-55 loss to Alabama A&M last time out. Shaun Doss Jr. has 16.8 PPG and 6.4 RPG to lead the Golden Lions in scoring and rebounding while 60.8 PPG on 36.6% shooting from the field, 29.8% from 3-point range and 73.7% from the foul line while allowing 78.9 PPG on 48.1% shooting from the field and 41.9% from 3-point range this season.
Southern is 16-5-2 ATS in their last 23 games against a team with a losing record and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall while the under is 5-0 in their last 5 games following a loss. Arkansas-Pine Bluff is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 home games and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 Saturday games while the over is 4-1-1 in their last 6 games against a team with a losing record. The favorite is 7-0 ATS in the last 7 meetings between these two teams.
I’m not trying to back either once of these teams right now if we’re being 100% honest, but for the sake of a pick, Southern’s been slightly better on the offensive end and they’re the far better team side-by-side from a defensive aspect as well so I’ll lay the points with Southern on the road if forced to pick this game.
