The Southern Jaguars and the Grambling Tigers meet in a SWAC conference tournament quarter-final in college basketball action from the Bartow Arena on Thursday night.

The Southern Jaguars come into the conference tournament as the #5 seed after picking up an 8-6 mark in conference play as part of their 8-10 overall record this season. Samkelo Cele leads the Jaguars in scoring with 11.8 PPG with 3.9 RPG while Jayden Saddler has 11.1 PPG with 3.8 RPG and a team-high 5.3 APG to lead the Jaguars in the assist department this season.

The Grambling Tigers come into the conference tournament as the #4 seed with a 9-6 conference mark as part of their 11-11 overall record this season. Cameron Christon leads the Tigers in scoring with 13 PPG and 5 RPG as the lone double-digit scorer for Grambling up to this point in the season. Trevell Cunningham has a team-high 5.2 APG and 5 RPG as well to lead the Tigers in assists and Terreon Randolph leads the Tigers in the rebounding department with 5.6 RPG this season. Pricne Moss also has 9.5 PPG for the Tigers this season.

Southern is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games overall and 1-7 ATS in their last 8 neutral site games while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 Thursday games. Grambling is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall and 1-6 Ats in their last 7 neutral site games while the under is 5-1 in their last 6 games against a team with a losing record.

I get that it’s the conference tournament and anything can really happen so Southern being favored isn’t all that surprising. But we’re getting a free bucket with a Grambling team that’s been playing better basketball to close out the year and come into the conference tournament on a better run of from. Maybe someone knows something with this line, but I’m going to guess I know better. Give me Grambling and the free bucket here.
