The Northeastern Huskies and the Georgia State Panthers meet in college basketball action from the GSU Sports Arena on Friday afternoon.
The Northeastern Huskies will be looking to rebound from a 65-58 loss to Colgate to start the year. Jahmyl Telfort led the Huskies with 17 points on 6 of 13 shooting with 4 rebounds while Chris Doherty had 14 points on 5 of 9 shooting with team-highs of 8 rebounds and 3 assists. Shaquille Walters added 10 points with 7 rebounds to round out the scoring in double figures for the Huskies in the losing effort. As a team, Northeastern shot 40% from the field, 21.4% from three and 71.4% from the foul line in the defeat.
The Georgia State Panthers will look to build on a 97-37 win over subdivision Brewton-Parker in their last game. Corey Allen led the Panthers with 20 points on 6 of 11 shooting with a 6 of 6 mark from the foul line and a pair of steals while Justin Roberts had 19 points on 7 of 11 shooting with 3 threes and 6 steals. Nelson Phillips added 15 points and 5 steals off of the bench while Kane Williams chipped in 11 points with a team-high 7 assists and 3 steals to cap off the scoring in double figures for Georgia State in the win. As a team, Georgia State shot 49.3% from the field, 30% from three and 87% from the foul line in the winning effort.
Northeastern is 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games following a loss while the under is 11-4 in their last 15 games as a road underdog. Georgia State is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games overall and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games against a team with a losing record while the over is 5-1 in their last 6 games overall.
I get the case to be made for the Huskies getting points as this is normally a team that shoots well and is slated to be one of the better teams in the CAA. However, Georgia State brings back pretty much their entire starting five, and while Northeastern has some solid scoring of their own, Georgia State is just loaded and has a lot of grit from playing in the Sun Belt. I think the Panthers win this one by double-digits, so I’ll lay the points with the Panthers here.
