The Georgia Southern Eagles and the Appalachian State Mountaineers meet in college basketball action from the Holmes Convocation Center on Thursday night.
The Georgia Southern Eagles will be looking to rebound from a 61-52 loss at the hands of Troy last time out. Elijah McCadden leads Georgia Southern in scoring with 11.8 PPG while Andrei Savrasov has 10.5 PPG with a team-high 5.7 RPG to lead the Eagles on the glass this season to make up the duo of double-digit scorers for Georgia Southern as well on the year. Kamari Brown also has 9.6 PPG and Tre Cobbe has a team-high 2.1 APG as well as the aforementioned McCadden. As a team, Georgia Southern is averaging 67.4 PPG on 46.5% shooting from the field, 30.2% from three and 67.1% from the foul line while allowing 63.2 PPG on 40.7% shooting from the field and 32.1% from three this season.
The Appalachian State Mountaineers will hope to build on a 70-61 win over UT-Arlington in their last game. Adrian Delph leads App State in scoring with 17.2 PPG with 5.1 RPG while Donovan Gregory has 10.5 PPG with 5.4 RPG to make up the pair of double-digit scorers for App State so far this season. Michael Almonacy has 9.8 PPG with a team-high 3.2 APG to lead the Mountaineers in assists. Justin Forrest also has 9 PPG while James Lewis Jr. leads the Mountaineers on the glass with 6.2 RPG as well this season. As a team, Appalachian State is averaging 67.4 PPG on 42% shooting from the field, 32.3% from three and 64.8% from the foul line while allowing 62.8 PPG on 42.4% shooting from the field and 30.1% from three this season.
Georgia Southern is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a loss and 10-4-1 ATS in their last 15 Thursday games while the under is 4-0 in their last 4 games overall. Appalachian State is 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games overall and 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games following a win while the under is 5-1 in their last 6 home games.
I get the case to be made either way here, but App State’s been on an absolute tear as of late and Georgia Southern, while the Eagles have picked up wins here and there as of late, are still near the bottom of the conference and haven’t really beaten anyone of significance to suggest they’ll hang here on the road. I’ll take App State laying the points in this one.
