I’m on Alcorn State here. Both of these teams have been covering numbers left and right coming into the conference tournament, but the difference is Alcorn State’s been winning games by margin as well. Alabama A&M did a decent job in keeping the rematch close, but I think Alcorn State does enough to win and cover. I’ll take Alcorn State here.
