Jackson State vs. Florida A&M

March 11, 2026
img8:30 PM Eastern

The overall won-lost record is just 14-15. But there are reasons why No. 2 seed Florida A&M is favored against seventh-seed Jackson State in this SWAC quarterfinal conference tournament matchup. The Rattlers have the better league mark at 11-7, to the Tigers' 10-8. Florida A&M is peaking at the right time, too. The Rattlers have won and covered in each of their last four games, all as an underdog. Now they are a favorite and in a double-revenge spot, playing much better than they did in their two earlier games against Jackson State. The Tigers have not had success on Wednesdays, losing 9 of their past 10. They have a losing record during their past five games and rank 361st defensively, surrendering an average of 87.7 points a game. Take Florida A&M.
