Who We Like: Texas Southern doesn’t have an impressive record, but the Tigers know how to score. They average 86 points on a neutral floor right now and that looks appealing against NC Central, a team that relies heavily on defense. The Eagles, however, are giving up 76.4 points per game on the road. Texas Southern has won seven straight coming into tonight and their last three wins have been by double figures. I think the Tigers will keep the hot streak going tonight.
