Analysis
Delaware State is coming into this game with a 6-6 record this season and they have been playing well in their recent games. They have won their last 3 straight games and they have been dominant in these games, winning their last 2 games by 10+ points each. Their defense has also been good as they have allowed 60 points or less in each of their last 2 games as well. They are going up against an Alabama State team that is 4-7 this season and they have not been playing well in their recent games. They have lost 5 of their last 6 games with their only win in that span coming at home against Tennessee-Martin in OT. They have been getting blown out in their recent games as well, all 5 of their losses in their last 6 games coming by 10+ points. Their offense has not been that good either, getting held under 65 points in 2 of their last 3 as well as 3 of their last 5 games. This game is in a neutral location and Alabama State is coming off of a 17 point loss to Norfolk State last night while Delaware State is coming off of a 13 point win against Grambling State. Alabama State has not been great shooting from the field this season either. They also have a lower 3 point percentage in the country, but they have one of the higher attempt rates so a lot of their game plan relies on them hitting their 3's. Delaware State is the complete opposite as they do not take a lot of 3 point attempts, but they are hitting them at a high rate when they do as they are top 80 in the country for 3 point percentage. They are also a top 40 team when it comes to rebounding so they are going to dominate the glass in this game and that is going to give them a big advantage here. Delaware State will cover the spread in this game.
