South Carolina State vs Jacksonville Prediction

The South Carolina State Bulldogs didn’t do well last season when stepping up in competition, and they didn’t look good in their loss to South Carolina. The Jacksonville Dolphins hung around with Florida which included covering the number, and they have underrated talent, especially in Robert McCray, who will be the best player on the floor. The line is reasonable. Jacksonville should roll in this game.
