Texas Southern vs. Miss Valley State

The SWAC Championship will pit Texas Southern, a team with a losing record, against the Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils. Mississippi Valley easily won the regular season conference title, but they have really felt the pressures of a one-bid league and have sure looked shaky getting here. It has taken two rallies to get here vs. a pair of pretty bad teams. Texas Southern has really upped their level of play late in the season, winning eight of their last 10 games. One of those losses was a confidence-building, 3-point loss at Mississippi Valley State in a game that saw just 109 points scored. It marked one of eight times this Texas Southern team has held their opponent to the 50s or less in their last 10, which is why they are winning. This total is set way too high with a tight Mississippi Valley team, and a defensive push by Texas Southern has turned their season around. While the Delta Devils look like they are playing scared, Texas Southern is a confident group right now. Play on Texas Southern and the UNDER.
