What to Know

The Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions are on the road again Sunday and play against the Mississippi State Bulldogs at 3 p.m. ET Nov. 13 at Humphrey Coliseum. MSU will be strutting in after a victory while the Golden Lions will be stumbling in from a defeat.

Arkansas-Pine Bluff came up short against the Oklahoma Sooners this past Friday, falling 66-58. Guard Kylen Milton had a pretty forgettable game, playing for 36 minutes with 5-for-17 shooting.

Meanwhile, MSU strolled past the Akron Zips with points to spare this past Friday, taking the game 73-54. MSU can attribute much of their success to forward Tolu Smith, who had 26 points in addition to eight rebounds.

Arkansas-Pine Bluff have to know they'll be fighting an uphill battle given the 27.5-point spread they are up against. However, those who like betting on the underdog should be happy to hear that they are 2-0 against the spread when expected to lose.

Arkansas-Pine Bluff's loss took them down to 1-2 while Mississippi State's win pulled them up to 2-0. A win for the Golden Lions would reverse both their bad luck and Mississippi State's good luck. We'll see if Arkansas-Pine Bluff manages to pull off that tough task or if the Bulldogs keep their momentum going instead.
