Alabama State Hornets vs North Dakota Sioux Point Spread Picks

The North Dakota State Sioux are 1-2 to start the season and will be looking for their first win vs. a Division-1 opponent this season. The Sioux have shot the ball reasonably well to start the season, but have one glaring flaw for this game against Alabama State, and one sizable enough to make a big difference in what is otherwise expected to be a very tight game. North Dakota is shooting a woeful 58% from the charity stripe, while Alabama State is knocking them down at a 80% clip. This game is expected to be close, and I certainly like the edge of siding with the team that can close out a close game late. The Sioux come in at an ugly 4-10 ATS when following a loss, and poor free throw shooting cost them in their last game, a 2-point loss, get bitten again. Take on Alabama State and the points.
