What to Know

The Texas Southern Tigers are 12-3 against the Jackson State Tigers since January of 2016, and they'll have a chance to extend that success Saturday.

Texas Southern didn't have too much breathing room in their contest with the Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions on Monday, but they still walked away with a 64-59 win.

Texas Southern's victory brought them up to 11-17 while Jackson State's loss pulled them down to 9-18. A couple stats to keep an eye on: Texas Southern has only been able to knock down 42.20% percent of their shots, which is the 49th lowest field goal percentage in college basketball. Jackson State has experienced some struggles of their own as they have allowed their opponents to shoot 46.90% from the floor on average, which is the 13th highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
