Neither team is impressive, but Alabama A&M is better on both ends of the floor. Rebounding is the only edge that Alabama State may have today. Still, Alabama State has serious road demons this season, and this isn't a matchup that should provide an opportunity to exorcize them. Alabama A&M takes care of business at home today.
