Moneyline Pick: Texas Southern (-120) - B
Texas Southern enters this matchup eager to extend its current two-game winning streak, while Alabama State hopes to snap a frustrating three-game slide by finding better chemistry on the floor. Historically, Alabama State’s leading scorer has posted impressive numbers against Texas Southern, but if the Tigers’ own high-energy forward continues his hot run—especially now that both squads have played well over 41 games—Texas Southern looks poised to carry that momentum into potential postseason positioning. Backing the Tigers to handle business on the moneyline earns a B grade, offering a respectable return if that edge in form and focus holds steady.

Alabama State’s versatile forward leads the charge for a squad riding a short two-game win streak, while Texas Southern, fresh off three consecutive losses, brims with desperation on its home court. Both teams expect to see their star point guards back in action, although Texas Southern still faces uncertainty with a banged-up starting forward nursing a lingering knee issue. Historically, Alabama State’s main scoring trio has excelled against Texas Southern’s zone defense, consistently pushing the tempo to force higher point totals. Betting on the Over 138 points offers an enticing payout, and with each side eager to break through defensive lapses, this thrilling matchup has all the makings of a high-scoring affair.

![]()
Texas Southern’s forward John Walker III is confirmed active and primed to spark the Tigers against an Alabama State squad (12-6-16-15) stuck in a two-game losing rut. With the Hornets hoping to bounce back, they must contend with a healthy Texas Southern lineup (12-6-15-16) that just snapped its own three-game skid, boosting morale at a critical juncture. Historically, the Tigers have edged the Hornets in close battles, a trend that might repeat given the minimal injury report on both sides. Though this matchup could swing either way, backing Texas Southern at +1 offers a moderate payout aligned with a solid B-grade prediction. Get ready—this could be the day the Tigers sharpen their claws.
