The Jackson State Tigers have a history of folding when they step up in competition, and their opener against Illinois was no different. The Louisiana Tech Bulldogs are better than what they showed against Alabama, and I’d assume they will show that playing at home in front of fans. Jackson State lacks offensive depth, and its first time on the court wasn’t all that encouraging. I’ll back LA Tech in the favorite role.
