Current Records: Southern 7-7; Florida A&M 2-10

What to Know

Get ready for an SWAC battle as the Southern Jaguars and the Florida A&M Rattlers will face off at 4 p.m. ET Saturday at Al Lawson Center. Southern will be strutting in after a victory while Florida A&M will be stumbling in from a loss.

The Jaguars strolled past the Texas Southern Tigers with points to spare on Monday, taking the matchup 63-50.

Meanwhile, the Rattlers came up short against the Bethune-Cookman Wildcats on Monday, falling 66-59.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Southern 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.

Southern's win brought them up to 7-7 while Florida A&M's defeat pulled them down to 2-10. A pair of stats to keep an eye on: The Jaguars have allowed their opponents to shoot 47.20% from the floor on average, which is the fifth highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball. The Rattlers have experienced some struggles of their own as they have only been able to knock down 40.90% percent of their shots, which is the 37th lowest field goal percentage in college basketball. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
