West Georgia Wolves vs. Florida A&M Rattlers: A Tale of Two Seasons
December 21, 2025 | Al Lawson Center | 2:00 PM ET

Parsing the Odds: Why This Feels Like a Foregone Conclusion
Let’s cut to the chase: Florida A&M’s offense is a deflated balloon at a birthday party. The Rattlers average a meager 52.8 points per game (348th in college basketball) and allow a staggering 82.0 points per game (358th). Their -263 scoring differential is like a black hole devouring hope. Meanwhile, West Georgia’s +50 differential—averaging 71.7 points scored (107th) and 66.1 allowed (228th)—is the basketball equivalent of a well-oiled cash register. The Wolves’ recent 116-21 thrashing of Wesleyan (GA) wasn’t just a win; it was a math test where the answer was “115 points, easy.”

Asia Donald, West Georgia’s scoring machine (16.4 PPG, 93rd nationally), is the team’s golden goose, while Florida A&M’s Shaniyah McCarthy (10.3 PPG, 734th) is statistically less impactful than a team mascot’s dance routine. The Rattlers’ last victory? A 72-65 win over Jacksonville on December 18—proof that even the most struggling teams can beat a team that’s also struggling (Jacksonville is 5-7).

Digesting the News: Injuries, Upsets, and Why Florida A&M Still Needs a Miracle
Florida A&M’s recent win over Jacksonville was a flicker of light in a dark tunnel, thanks to Antonio Baker’s 17 points and Jaquan Sanders’ 3-of-4 three-point shooting. But context is key: Jacksonville’s 5-7 record suggests they’re not exactly the Harlem Globetrotters. Meanwhile, West Georgia’s Jasmine Jones dropped 21 points in that 116-21 rout, hitting 5-of-13 threes—proof that the Wolves can shoot with the precision of a NASA engineer and the flair of a circus acrobat.

Florida A&M’s defense? A sieve with a side of sarcasm. They allowed Florida to score 76 points in their last meeting, a game where Cornelia Ellington’s 13 points were outshone by the Gators’ collective ability to avoid tripping over their own feet.

Humorous Spin: Wolves Howl, Rattlers Stay Silent
Let’s be real: Florida A&M’s offense is like a toddler with a calculator—pressing buttons randomly and celebrating when something almost adds up. Their defense? A guest at a haunted house who forgot to bring a flashlight. West Georgia, on the other hand, plays like they’re in a video game on “God Mode”—score 116 points, grab 50 rebounds, and still have time to text their agent about代言 deals.

Imagine Florida A&M’s strategy meeting: “Okay, let’s try harder to not look like we’re playing with one hand tied behind our backs.” West Georgia’s meeting: “Remember, today’s game is just a dress rehearsal for the NCAA tournament. Pretend you care.”

Prediction: West Georgia 72, Florida A&M 64
The math doesn’t lie. West Georgia’s +50 differential and recent offensive explosion (hello, 116-point game) make them the clear favorite. Florida A&M’s lone hope? A miracle, a West Georgia cold streak longer than a Netflix password, or a sudden influx of players named “Clutch” who haven’t existed since 2018.

Final Verdict: Bet on the Wolves. Unless you enjoy watching teams fight to lose, in which case, the Rattlers will oblige with their Olympic-level underdog act. 🐺🔥 “Rattle not. Howl on.”
