Princeton vs Texas State Prediction

The Texas State Bobcats haven’t looked great in their last three Games, and I doubt things improve at the end of a back-to-back. However, the Princeton Tigers have been sluggish defensively and got smoked yesterday as well. You can score on this Princeton team, and the Tigers have failed to cover 7 of their last 10 Games. Texas State can hang around. Give me the points.
