Pick

South Carolina State has not played well this season and they are allowing 84.1 points against per game. Howard is currently tied for first place in the MEAC standings and they should be able to do whatever they want on the offensive end of the floor. South Carolina State is scoring 74.2 points per game, but they are only shooting 42.7% from the field. I like Howard on the road here.
