The Alabama A&M Bulldogs have struggled to generate much success in conference play as they bring a 2-4 record into this matchup, and they will have a tough time dealing with Southern as they are playing with a sense of confidence (3 consecutive wins). Southern doesn’t have a go-to scorer as no one is averaging over 10 PPG, but they have shown depth throughout their lineup 8 different guys are averaging at least 5 PPG. Southern has been one of the top three-point teams in the SWAC this season as they are connecting on 37.5% of their attempts, but that has not been the style of play that Alabama A&M prefers as they only hit on 19.4% of their three-point shots. The Southern Jaguars have been good on the defensive side of the court as they are holding their opponents to an average of 64.1 PPG, and that spells trouble for Alabama A&M who ranks 321st in college basketball in points scored.
