What to Know

The Alabama A&M Bulldogs will hit the road for the sixth straight game as they head to Pete Hanna Center at 7 p.m. ET Saturday. The Samford Bulldogs will be strutting in after a victory while Alabama A&M will be stumbling in from a defeat.

Alabama A&M received a tough blow on Wednesday as they fell 56-45 to the North Alabama Lions.

Meanwhile, Samford was able to grind out a solid win over the Alabama State Hornets on Wednesday, winning 74-64.

Alabama A&M is the clear underdog, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past five games, so buyers beware.

Alabama A&M came out on top in a nail-biter against Samford when the two teams previously met in November of last year, sneaking past 78-76. Will Alabama A&M repeat their success, or does Samford have a better game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
