This one is going to be another brawl between small conference teams looking to earn a win to get out of Dayton and into the actual field. Fairleigh Dickinson has a winning record on the season but backed their way into field with their loss to Merrimack in the NEC Tournament title game. Texas Southern struggled this season, losing seven games by five points or less, but they won when it mattered the most to punch their ticket here and playing their best ball right no1. The Tigers have experience playing in these games as they won the SWAC Tournament for the third straight year. Texas Southern uses that experience and defense to get the win here on Thursday night!
