What to Know

Texas So. has enjoyed a three-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. They and the Jackson State Tigers are set to clash at 3:00 p.m. ET on Thursday at Bartow Arena in a SWAC postseason contest. Texas So. might want some stickum for this matchup since the team gave up 18 turnovers on Saturday.

Winning is just a little bit easier when you make eight more threes than your opponent, a fact Texas So. proved. They enjoyed a cozy 93-78 victory over the Panthers.

Meanwhile, Jackson State entered their tilt with Miss Valley State with two consecutive wins but they'll enter their next game with three. The Tigers dodged a bullet on Saturday and finished off the Delta Devils 68-67.

The Tigers are on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six contests, which provided a nice bump to their 14-15 record this season. As for the Tigers, they pushed their record up to 15-16 with that victory, which was their fourth straight at home.

Texas So. is hoping to beat the odds on Thursday, as the experts think they're headed for a loss. This contest will be their eighth straight as the favorites (so far over this stretch they are 5-2 against the spread).
