The Alcorn State Braves are taking their licks on the road and shouldn’t expect anything different here. Alcorn State is dreadful offensively and has zero double-digit scorers. Alcorn State is also 2-3-1 ATS, so the Braves have zero betting value. The South Alabama Jaguars aren’t world-beaters, but they have guys who can score, which is more than Alcorn State can say. Give me South Alabama in a beatdown. Alcorn State is looking more and more like one of the worst teams in all of college basketball.
