What to Know

After a two-game homestand, the Texas State-San Marcos Bobcats will be on the road. Texas State-San Marcos and the South Alabama Jaguars will face off in a Sun Belt battle at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday at Mitchell Center. Both teams looked pretty sloppy on the offensive side of the ball the last time they faced off, scoring just 112 points combined.

The Bobcats didn't have too much trouble with the Little Rock Trojans at home on Saturday as they won 68-50.

Meanwhile, the matchup between South Alabama and the App. State Mountaineers on Saturday was not a total blowout, but with South Alabama falling 69-51 on the road, it was darn close to turning into one.

Texas State-San Marcos is expected to lose this next one by 3. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread, however, as they are currently on a five-game streak of ATS wins.

Texas State-San Marcos is now 19-6 while the Jaguars sit at 18-9. Two defensive numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: The Bobcats come into the contest boasting the 29th fewest points allowed per game in college basketball at 63. South Alabama is not quite as good, but they are no chumps, either: they enter the game with only 63.4 points allowed per game on average, good for 32nd best in college basketball.
