What to Know

The Delaware State Hornets are 1-5 against the South Carolina State Bulldogs since January of 2016, but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit Monday. Delaware State and South Carolina State will face off in an MEAC battle at 7:30 p.m. ET at Memorial Hall. The Bulldogs will be strutting in after a victory while Delaware State will be stumbling in from a defeat.

Delaware State has to be hurting after a devastating 73-49 loss at the hands of the North Carolina Central Eagles this past Saturday.

Meanwhile, South Carolina State was able to grind out a solid win over the Maryland-Eastern Shore Hawks this past Saturday, winning 69-60.

The Hornets are expected to lose this next one by 7. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past eight games, so buyers beware.

Delaware State is now 2-13 while the Bulldogs sit at 9-10. A couple offensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Delaware State is 349th worst in college basketball in points per game, with only 60.1 on average. South Carolina State has experienced some struggles of their own as they have only been able to knock down 40.20% percent of their shots, which is the 20th lowest field goal percentage in college basketball. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
