Who's Playing

Grambling @ Incarnate Word

Current Records: Grambling 3-6; Incarnate Word 1-8

What to Know

The Grambling Tigers are on the road again Saturday and play against the Incarnate Word Cardinals at 3:30 p.m. ET Dec. 11 at Alice P. McDermott Convocation Center. Both teams were wiped off the court in their previous games and will be looking to bounce back in a big way.

Grambling was expected to have a tough go of it on Saturday, and, well, they did. They found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unpleasant 88-59 punch to the gut against the Connecticut Huskies. The losing side was boosted by guard Cameron Christon, who had 18 points.

Meanwhile, Incarnate Word was pulverized by the Abilene Christian Wildcats 98-65 on Saturday.

Barring any buzzer beaters, the Tigers are expected to win a tight contest. True fans might be the only ones betting on them, currently 1-6 ATS, to cover the spread.

The losses put Grambling at 3-6 and Incarnate Word at 1-8. A couple stats to keep an eye on: Grambling is 20th worst in college basketball in points per game, with only 62.3 on average. The Cardinals have experienced some struggles of their own as they are stumbling into the game with the second most points allowed per game in college basketball, having given up 81.2 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
