Arkansas State has stayed pretty consistent this year so far. The Red Wolves have yet to lose consecutive games and overall they’re scoring quite well. Coming into Thursday’s game, Arkansas State had a win streak over UL Monroe, UT Arlington and Texas State. 

In the Thursday matchup versus App State, the Red Wolves were outscored 33-27 in the first half and 28-27 in the second during a 61-54 loss. Marquis Eaton posted 13 points, and Norchad Omier doubled on 11 points and 10 boards. 

Over on the Coastal Carolina side, they posted a 7-3 run over their first 10 games this year before hitting a sketchy 2-5 stretch in December and January. The Chanticleers bounced back with a couple of wins over Georgia Southern and Georgia State. 

Matched up against Little Rock on Thursday, the Chanticleers had a tepid 23-point first half but stretched their legs with 42 second-half points in a 65-49 win. Rudi Williams led the way on 20 points with three rebounds. 

Coastal is 4-1 ATS in their last five overall and 7-19 ATS in their last 26 after an ATS win. The under is 5-2 in the Chanticleers’ last seven overall. 

Meanwhile, the Red Wolves are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 Saturday games and 6-2 ATS in the last eight overall. The over is 14-6 in AR State’s last 20 after an ATS loss. 

PICK: I’m going to take Coastal Carolina. The Chanticleers have bounced back from their three-game losing streak earlier this month with a three-game winning streak. Coastal has had a couple of close calls along the way and it took them a while to get going versus Little Rock, but the team should be in good shape here. As for Arkansas State, they’ve scored 67 or fewer in each of their last two games but I like them to post a better total here. I think the Chanticleers are good enough to keep the pace and cover along the way.
