After winning seven straight games the Texas Southern Tigers have fallen off the rails, losing their last two, but I expect they get back on track tonight when they host the Bethune-Cookman Wildcats. The Tigers could easily be on a 9-0 run. Their last two losses were by a combined 3 points. Both the Tigers and Wildcats are 7-3 in conference play with the Tigers in the second spot in the SWAC and the Wildcats third. As the home team, Texas Southern is 7-3 and average 73.0 points per game as opposed to Bethune-Cookman’s 67.8. They also have the edge in 3-pointers, free throws, rebounds and steals. This will probably be a close one so consider the Tigers on the money line.
