The Georgia Southern Eagles have loaded up on road games to start the season, but I’m not sure if that’s an excuse for this lousy offense. Georgia Southern just can’t score the basketball, and that’s not an issue that usually solves itself on the road. The Rice Owls aren’t he best team in the world, but they have enough scoring depth to squeeze this one out at home. Give me Rice to get back to a .500 record.
