Jackson State vs Alabama State Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this matchup playing great basketball over the last few weeks, so this should be a great game to watch. Alabama State has won nine of their last ten games and their defense has allowed 65 points or fewer in four of their last five games. Jackson State has won 10 of their last 11 games and they are the better shooting team in this matchup. Jackson State won the lone regular season meeting with Alabama State by a score of 77-70, but I think points are going to be at a premium in this one, as the Alabama State defense continues to impress. Take the under in this contest.
