These two teams come into this game just two wins away from making the NCAA Tournament and they have plenty of momentum heading into this matchup. Texas Southern went 12-6 in conference play and they have won six of their last seven games. Alabama A&M has won three of their last four games, but they were only 9-9 in the SWAC this season. Texas Southern won the only regular season meeting these teams had by a score of 85-69. Both teams only shoot 41% from the field, but Texas Southern is the better defensive team. I think Texas Southern is the play here, as they are the slightly better team and they have plenty of experience making deep runs in this tournament. Take the Tigers here.
