Alabama State Form

The Hornets ended the regular season on a three-game win streak that started with a 94-52 blowout of Alabama A&M.

Saint Francis PA Form
Saint Francis PA also go into this matchup on a solid run of form, having won each of their previous six games.
The Red Flash, like Alabama State, won the final three games on their regular season schedule, beginning with an 81-76 overtime victory at Le Moyne.
They then returned home for two more wins that needed additional time, as they beat FDU 85-80 and Chicago State 80-71 in overtime.
Saint Francis PA then beat Wagner 58-55 in their only home game of the NEC tournament, before downing Long Island University 71-68 in the semi-finals.
The Red Flash then clinched the conference crown as they beat Central Connecticut State in a low-scoring final, 46-43.
Verdict
Both teams are in good form heading into this, but Alabama State’s biggest strength is one of Saint Francis PA’s biggest weaknesses.
We are backing the Hornets to force plenty of turnovers as they win and cover the spread in the First Four.
