Sam Houston State won both meetings last season and it finished the 2023-24 season winning eight of its final nine games. However, the Bearkats did lose their season opener 91-75 to Nevada on Monday as the Wolf Pack shot 57 percent and 10 of 22 from 3-point distance. Marcus Boykin led the Bearkats with 17 points and their star player, Lamar Wilkerosn, added 11 points. Tarleton State got crushed by SMU 96-62 and that was not a surprise as the Texans lost all five starters from last year and they shot just 38 percent against the Mustangs. Sam Houston State has won 12 of 18 Saturday road games and the Bearkats have the edges in talent and experience in this matchup. Take Sam Houston State on the moneyline.
