The Southern Jaguars and the Alabama State Hornets will face off in an SWAC clash at 9 p.m. ET Feb. 7 at F.G. Clark Center. The teams split their matchups last year, with Alabama State winning the first 66-64 at home and the Jaguars taking the second 75-66.

Southern was able to grind out a solid win over the Alabama A&M Bulldogs this past Saturday, winning 73-64.

Meanwhile, Alabama State bagged an 80-72 victory over the Grambling Tigers this past Saturday.

Southern is the favorite in this one, with an expected 10.5-point margin of victory. Those burned by picking them against the spread this past Saturday might want to keep in mind that the team has not yet dropped back-to-back games against the spread this season.

Southern is now 13-9 while the Hornets sit at 7-16. Two stats to keep an eye on: The Jaguars enter the matchup with 19.8 takeaways on average, good for third best in college basketball.
