What to Know

The Southern Jaguars have been on the wrong side of a one-way rivalry with the Grambling Tigers and are hoping to record their first win since Jan. 9 of last year. The Jaguars and Grambling will face off in an SWAC battle at 6:30 p.m. ET Saturday at F.G. Clark Center. Southern is out to keep their eight-game home win streak alive.

The Texas Southern Tigers typically have all the answers at home, but on Monday Southern proved too difficult a challenge. Southern took down Texas Southern 70-58.

Meanwhile, Grambling was just a bucket short of a victory on Monday and fell 71-70 to the Prairie View A&M Panthers.

The Jaguars are the favorite in this one, with an expected 8.5-point margin of victory. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (8-4), so they might be worth a quick bet.

Southern is now 15-10 while Grambling sits at 10-15. A pair of stats to keep an eye on: Southern enters the matchup with 19.8 takeaways on average, good for third best in college basketball. Less enviably, Grambling is 31st worst in college basketball in turnovers per game, with 14.6 on average. So the cards are definitely stacked against Grambling.
