What to Know

Get ready for an SWAC battle as the Alcorn State Braves and the Prairie View A&M Panthers will face off at 8:30 p.m. ET on Monday at David L. Whitney Gymnasium. Alcorn State will be strutting in after a victory while Prairie View A&M will be stumbling in from a loss.

The Braves escaped with a win this past Saturday against the Texas Southern Tigers by the margin of a single free throw, 73-72.

Meanwhile, the game between Prairie View A&M and the Jackson State Tigers this past Saturday was not a total blowout, but with Prairie View A&M falling 75-64 on the road, it was darn close to turning into one.

Alcorn State is the favorite in this one, with an expected 4-point margin of victory. They are currently five-for-five against the spread in their most recent games, a trend bettors might want to take into account.

Alcorn State is now 5-11 while the Panthers sit at 1-12. A pair of stats to keep an eye on: The Braves are stumbling into the matchup with the 10th fewest points per game in college basketball, having accrued only 62.1 on average. Prairie View A&M has experienced some struggles of their own as they are 357th worst in college basketball in points allowed per game, with 84.7 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
