What to Know

Get ready for an SWAC battle as the Florida A&M Rattlers and the Jackson State Tigers will face off at 7:30 p.m. ET Monday at Al Lawson Center. Florida A&M will be strutting in after a victory while Jackson State will be stumbling in from a defeat.

This past Saturday, the Rattlers narrowly escaped with a win as the team sidled past the Alcorn State Braves 70-68.

Meanwhile, the Tigers were within striking distance but couldn't close the gap this past Saturday as they fell 55-50 to the Bethune-Cookman Wildcats.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Florida A&M is expected to win a tight contest. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread as they are currently on a four-game streak of ATS wins.

Florida A&M's victory brought them up to 6-11 while Jackson State's loss pulled them down to 4-13. A couple offensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Rattlers are 35th worst in college basketball in points per game, with only 65.1 on average. The Tigers have experienced some struggles of their own as they are stumbling into the matchup with the 356th fewest points per game in college basketball, having accrued only 57.6 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
