Jacksonville State vs Arkansas State Prediction

I’ll stick with Jacksonville State. The Gamecocks need a good bounce-back effort following their loss to a pretty darn good South Alabama team, though. In that one Jacksonville State shot just 39.1 percent from the field with 12 turnovers. The ugliest stat however, was the 1-of-4 made free throws. Jacksonville State simply has to get to the line more in these close games. In any case, the Gamecocks had been doing well before that defeat. They’ve still got 74 or more points in three of four outings.

As for Arkansas State, they couldn’t keep pace with SMU despite a 44-26 rebounding advantage in their latest loss. The main culprit for the Red Wolves was the staggering 32 turnovers, leading to a whopping 26 steals for the Mustangs. If Arkansas State can’t take better care of the ball they’ll be trailing quickly on Monday.
