Bethune-Cookman vs Alabama State 2/21/22 College Basketball Picks, Predictions, Odds

The Alabama State Hornets and the Bethune-Cookman Wildcats meet in college hoops action from the Moore Gymnasium on Monday night.

The Alabama State Hornets will try to snap a four-game losing skid after an 86-83 OT loss to Florida A&M last time out. Trace Young has 11.8 PPG and 5.1 RPG in 16 games while Gerald Liddell’s posted 9.8 PPG with 4.8 RPG. Kenny Strawbridge and Isaiah Range each have 9+ PPG and 4+ RPG while Jordan O’Neal has 7.9 PPG with a team-high 4.9 RPG and DJ Jackson has a team-high 2.3 APG as well this season. As a team, Alabama State is averaging 67.7 PPG on 41.8% shooting from the field, 32.9% from three and 68.7% from the foul line while allowing 75.7 PPG on 44% shooting from the floor and 33.3% from three this season.

The Bethune-Cookman Wildcats will look to bounce back from back-to-back losses after a 62-60 loss to Alabama A&M in their last game. Joe French leads the Wildcats in scoring with 15.2 PPG along with 2.9 RPG while Kevin Davis has 12.9 PPG and 7.8 RPG in 18 games for BC so far this season. Marcus Garrett has 12.3 PPG with 4.2 RPG and Dylan Robertson’s got 8.5 PPG with 6.1 RPG this season.

Alabama State is 10-1 ATS in their last 11 road games against a team with a losing home record and 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games following a loss while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 games against a team with a winning percentage below .400. Bethune-Cookman is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 Monday games and 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games following an ATS loss while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 games overall.

Bethune-Cookman is stringing wins together here and there, but the reality I face with the Wildcats is that scoring is still a bit of an issue for this team. Alabama State’s been a cover machine in certain road spots and following losses and have been much more explosive offensively which is something we can rarely say for Bethune-Cookman. Give me Alabama State and the points here.
