Cleveland State vs Alabama A&M Prediction

I’ll lean toward the Bulldogs but I’m not touching this game. Alabama A&M has three wins in four games so far this year, but the victories all came in easy matchups (on paper, at least). Against the one team of consequence they’ve played so far (DePaul), the Bulldogs took a blowout loss 84-47. Alabama A&M is coming off a tight overtime in versus West Florida. In that game the Bulldogs shot 45 percent from the field and 77 percent (37-of-48) at the line. Alabama A&M did get beaten pretty badly on the boards 38-28, though. That could come back to haunt them here.

As for Cleveland State, they’re coming off a Friday game versus the aforementioned West Florida. In that one the Vikings were able to even up their record through four games on a two-point victory. Cleveland State shot 48 percent from the field in that one with a 37-20 rebounding edge but did have 16 turnovers. The 23 percent (3-of-13) from 3-point range and 45 percent shooting allowed on defense didn’t help matters much either, but the Vikes still got the win. This one should be a trickier matchup.
