The Georgia State Panthers and the Rhode Island Rams meet in college basketball action from the Ryan Center on Saturday afternoon.

The Georgia State Panthers come into this game looking to build on a 74-68 win over High Point in their last game. Justin Roberts leads the Panthers in scoring with 18.6 PPG along with 3.2 RPG while Corey Allen has 17.3 PPG and Kane Williams has 15.6 PPG with 6 RPG and a team-high 4 APG this season. Jalen Thomas also has a team-high 6.6 RPG as well this season. As a team, Georgia State is averaging 81.8 PPG on 45.6% shooting from the field, 38.5% from three and 67.9% from the foul line while allowing 64 PPG on 40.9% shooting from the field and 36.7% from three this season.

The Rhode Island Rams will be out to bounce back from a 67-66 loss to Florida Gulf Coast last time out. Mahkel Mitchell leasd the Rams in scoring with 12.2 PPG along with 5.2 RPG while Jeremy Sheppard has 11.8 PPG and 7.7 RPg with a team-high 3.3 APG this season. Makhi Mitchell has 10.3 PPG with a team-high 7.3 RPG to make up the scoring in double figures for Rhode Island up to this point in the year. As a team, Rhode Island is averaging 69.8 PPG on 49.3% shooting from the field, 38.4% from three and 72.5% from the foul line while allowing 64 PPG on 38.6% shooting from the field this season,

Georgia State is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games against a team with a winning record and 3-8 ATS in their last 11 road games against a team with a winning home record while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 games following a win. Rhode Island is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 Saturday games and 15-7 ATS in their last 22 Saturday games while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 games following a win.

I get the case that could be made for the Rams here being at home, but realistically I think the Panthers are just the better overall team. I think this could be a spot where Georgia State oges on the road and sneaks out a win but I’ll take the points to be safe in this one.
