Jaguars Look to Protect Their Home Court
Texas Southern Tigers vs Southern Jaguars
February 17th 2025 | 7:00 PM EST | F.G. Clark Activity Center
Grade B+: Southern Jaguars Moneyline (-305)
Southern’s disciplined offensive execution and strong perimeter defense make them a formidable opponent, especially on their home court. The Jaguars excel at limiting turnovers and forcing opponents into tough half-court sets, which could be a challenge for a Texas Southern team that thrives in transition but struggles when slowed down. Meanwhile, the Tigers will need to control the glass and push the tempo early to avoid falling behind against Southern’s patient offensive approach. With Southern favored at -305, the best bet is Southern to win outright, earning a B+ rating for confidence, with a $65 potential return for bettors backing the home team.
Grade B+: Southern Jaguars -7
Southern’s ability to control the pace and limit opponents’ offensive efficiency makes them a strong favorite at home against Texas Southern. The Jaguars excel at disrupting ball movement and forcing turnovers, which could make it difficult for the Tigers to find offensive rhythm. Meanwhile, Texas Southern’s success often depends on getting out in transition, but against a Southern team that thrives in half-court sets and defensive rotations, those opportunities could be limited. If the Jaguars execute their game plan, they should have no trouble extending their lead late. With the spread set at -7, the best bet is Southern to cover, as their defensive consistency and home-court advantage should help them control the game. This pick earns a B+ rating, with a $75 potential return for bettors backing the Jaguars.
Grade B+: Under 142.5 Total Points
Southern’s defensive discipline and ability to slow the game down could play a major role in keeping this matchup from becoming a high-scoring affair. The Jaguars thrive in a half-court setting, forcing opponents into tough shots while limiting transition opportunities, which could frustrate a Texas Southern squad that relies on speed and fast-break points. Meanwhile, the Tigers have been inconsistent from beyond the arc, which could further stifle their scoring against a team that closes out well on shooters. With the Over/Under set at 142.5, the best bet is Under, as Southern’s defensive efficiency and methodical offense should keep the final score below the number. This pick earns a B+ rating, with a $75 potential return for those expecting a grind-it-out battle.
