Alcorn State Braves vs. Alabama State Hornets Prediction

I’m on Alabama State here. Not one I’m rushing to bet necessarily, but the thing here is that Alcorn State still isn’t a good basketball team, and I’m not faulting Alabama State for losing back-to-back games against two of the better teams in their conference. I just think that the Hornets take care of business at home so give me the Hornets laying the points.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Alabama State -7.5
