Princeton vs. Texas Prediction
The Texas State Bobcats haven’t been great over the last three games, and I don’t think things will get any better once the back-to-back is over. However, the Princeton Tigers’ defense has been sluggish, and they were in trouble yesterday as well. This Princeton team can score, but the Tigers have failed to cover in seven of their last 10 games. Texas State University can be hung out. Please tell me the point.
