What to Know

The Alcorn State Braves and the Bethune-Cookman Wildcats will face off in an SWAC clash at 7:30 p.m. ET Jan. 24 at Moore Gym. Bethune-Cookman should still be riding high after a victory, while the Braves will be looking to get back in the win column.

Alcorn State lost a heartbreaker to the Florida A&M Rattlers when they met in November of 2015, and they left with a heavy heart again this past Saturday. Alcorn State fell in a 70-68 heartbreaker.

Meanwhile, Bethune-Cookman didn't have too much breathing room in their game with the Jackson State Tigers this past Saturday, but they still walked away with a 55-50 win.

Alcorn State is the favorite in this one, with an expected 3.5-point margin of victory. They hadn't treated fans well this season, but they at least enjoy a 13-5 record against the spread.

The Braves and the Wildcats now sit at an identical 5-13. A couple offensive stats to keep an eye on: Alcorn State is stumbling into the contest with the 15th fewest points per game in college basketball, having accrued only 63 on average. Bethune-Cookman has experienced some struggles of their own as they are 348th worst in college basketball in points per game, with only 60.5 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
