Alabama A&M @ Indiana State

Current Records: Alabama A&M 1-7; Indiana State 4-6

What to Know

The Alabama A&M Bulldogs are on the road again Saturday and play against the Indiana State Sycamores at 1 p.m. ET Dec. 18 at Hulman Center. Given that these two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.

The Bulldogs came up short against the Troy Trojans on Tuesday, falling 66-57.

Meanwhile, Indiana State came up short against the North Dakota State Bison on Monday, falling 77-70. A silver lining for the Sycamores was the play of guard Cooper Neese, who had 30 points along with five boards.

Alabama A&M have to know they'll be fighting an uphill battle given the 14.50 point spread they are up against. The smart bettors have been the ones to keep their money on Alabama A&M's opponents whenever they hit the road.

Alabama A&M is now 1-7 while Indiana State sits at 4-6. A pair of numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Alabama A&M has only been able to knock down 35.30% percent of their shots, which is the 357th lowest field goal percentage in college basketball. The Sycamores have experienced some struggles of their own as they have allowed their opponents to shoot 45.50% from the floor on average, which is the 40th highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
