I’ll stick with Jackson State I suppose. There’s not a lot of intrigue here with both teams struggling but it should be a good game. The Tigers were out-rebounded 38-30 in their latest loss to Texas Southern and also coughed up 10 turnovers for 17 opposition points. If there’s good news lately it’s that Jackson State has hit 70 or more points in five of the last six games.

The last time these teams met up, the Tigers took a 71-62 home loss on January 20. The Tigers shot just 38.5 percent from the field in that one and had 17 turnovers.
