What to Know

The Howard Bison's homestand continues as they prepare to take on the South Carolina State Bulldogs at 8 p.m. ET Feb. 28 at Burr Arena. Both teams looked pretty sloppy on the offensive side of the ball the last time they faced off, scoring just 113 points combined.

The North Carolina Central Eagles typically have all the answers at home, but this past Saturday Howard proved too difficult a challenge. The Bison walked away with a 77-67 victory.

Meanwhile, South Carolina State was close but no cigar this past Saturday as they fell 63-59 to the Norfolk State Spartans.

Howard is the favorite in this one, with an expected 8.5-point margin of victory. But bettors beware: they are only 5-10 against the spread when favored.

Howard's win brought them up to 15-11 while South Carolina State's loss pulled them down to 15-13. Two stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Bison come into the matchup boasting the fourth most takeaways per game in college basketball at 18.3. Less enviably, the Bulldogs are stumbling into the game with the 11th most turnovers per game in college basketball, having accrued 15.1 on average. So the cards are definitely stacked against South Carolina State.
