Pro Picks
South Carolina State at Howard
South Carolina State has owned this series recently, winning the past four times. This includes a 58-57 victory against Howard in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference opener on Jan. 3. The Bulldogs won despite shooting 13 fewer free throws than Howard. South Carolina State has the better conference record at 4-2. The Bison prefer an up-tempo style. South Carolina State contrasts that style, though, with a grind-out, slow pace. That will bother Howard, as it did in the first meeting, when the Bison missed 23 of 27 shots from beyond the arc. Take South Carolina State.

Pro Picks
Howard at South Carolina State
The Howard Bison will hit the road and play at South Carolina State Bulldogs. This is an interesting game because these teams usually play to high totals but haven't achieved many of them. In the last nine games, these teams played to a total in the 150s. This game is playing to a total of less than 150 as of this writing. Both times these teams faced off with a game total of fewer than 150 points, the games both went UNDER the total. Both teams take fewer than 60 shots per contest because they both play in the half-court. History has a part in this one. I like the UNDER.
