What to Know

Get ready for an SWAC battle as the Texas Southern Tigers and the Alcorn State Braves will face off at 8:30 p.m. ET on Monday at Health & PE Center. These two teams come into the matchup bolstered by wins in their previous games.

Texas Southern strolled past the Jackson State Tigers with points to spare this past Saturday, taking the game 81-66.

Meanwhile, Alcorn State sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 72-69 win over the Prairie View A&M Panthers this past Saturday.

Texas Southern is the favorite in this one, with an expected 6-point margin of victory. They have been good against the spread at home while the Braves have been good against the spread on the road, so something will have to give.

In the teams' previous meeting in January, Texas Southern and Alcorn State were neck-and-neck, but Texas Southern came up empty-handed after a 73-72 loss. Maybe Texas Southern will have more luck at home instead of on the road? Watch the contest and check back on CBS Sports for all the details.
