The Tigers are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up loss and 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 road games. The Trojans are 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 home games and 15-37-2 ATS in their last 54 games overall. The under is 6-2 in Tigers last 8 road games. The under is 15-5 in Trojans last 20 home games.
The Jackson State Tigers have had issues at both ends of the floor through 2 games, and the fact they haven’t played in a week probably doesn’t help them here. The Little Rock Trojans are getting torched defensively, but being at home should help, and at some point their outside shot is going to fall. I’m not excited to get behind either o these teams, but if forced to pick, I’ll lean toward Little Rock at home and the small number.
