What to Know
The Texas Southern Tigers will head out on the road to face off against the Air Force Falcons at 9 p.m. ET on Wednesday at Clune Arena. Air Force will be strutting in after a win while the Tigers will be stumbling in from a loss.
Texas Southern came up short against the Washington Huskies on Monday, falling 72-65. Guard PJ Henry wasn’t much of a difference maker for Texas Southern; Henry finished with ten points on 5-for-15 shooting in his 33 minutes on the court.
Meanwhile, Air Force escaped with a win on Saturday against the Tulsa Golden Hurricane by the margin of a single free throw, 59-58.
Barring any buzzer beaters, Texas Southern is expected to win a tight contest. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread as they are currently on a three-game streak of ATS wins.
The Tigers are now 0-3 while the Falcons sit at 1-1. Two last-season offensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Texas Southern is stumbling into the game with the 40th fewest points per game in college basketball, having accrued only 73.9 on average. Air Force experienced some struggles of their own as they are fifth worst in college basketball in points per game, with only 58.7 on average. It’s possible one of these Achilles’ heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
