Jackson State comes to Huntington with an 0-4 mark following a 62-45 loss at Louisville on Saturday. The Tigers have played a rough schedule so far, beginning the season with contests at TCU, UCF, Baylor and Louisville. All four games took place on the road.
Jenirro Bush is the leading scorer for JSU, tallying an average of 13.3 PPG. Bush was the game's leading scorer against the Cardinals, posting 16.
Monday's game marks the second of four Global Sports Shootout games. The Herd will travel to Louisville on Saturday before playing host to Florida International on Monday, November 29.
