Jacksonville State took on Wichita State in their first game of the 2021-22 season. The Gamecocks held a 27-23 advantage at halftime but ultimately lost it in a tough 60-57 defeat. Kayne Henry was the team’s top scorer with 15 points and five rebounds. 

In their second game of the season, the Gamecocks played Alabama A&M. Jacksonville State held the opposition to just 18 first-half points and cruised to a 70-47 blowout victory. Jalen Gibbs was the top man in that one with 15 points and seven boards.

Over on the Trojans’ side, their first game of the season came versus Carver College. Troy jumped out to a crazy 64-19 halftime lead there and didn’t let up in a 104-42 blowout. Desmond Williams topped the team with his 17 points and four rebounds. 

In game two this year, things didn’t go as well for Troy. The Trojans held a 23-23 tie against Butler at halftime but coughed up 47 points from there in a 70-59 loss. Efe Odigie led the way on 13 points and two steals for Troy. 

Troy is 0-4 ATS in their last four Tuesday games and 4-10-1 ATS in their last 15 after an ATS win. The under is 5-1 in Troy’s last six Tuesday games. 

Meanwhile, the Gamecocks are 7-1 ATS in the last eight road games and 13-3 ATS in their last 16 overall. Jacksonville State is 7-1 ATS in their last eight Tuesday games.

PICK: I’m probably sticking with Troy. The Trojans had a bad second half in their last outing versus Butler and it ruined the whole game. Troy got outfoxed on the boards 35-21 but did shoot a decent 42.9 percent from the field and came up with 11 steals. 

As for Jacksonville State, they’re coming off a nice win with 44 rebounds but shot an uninspiring 38.5 percent from the field in that one. If both teams are on point this should be a fun matchup, but I think Troy is in control on a cover.
