The Georgia Southern Eagles and the Campbell Fighting Camels meet in college basketball action from the John W. Pope Jr. Convocation Center on Wednesday night.
The Georgia Southern Eagles come into this game on the heels of a 77-68 loss to Mercer in their last game. Andrei Savrasov leads the Eagles in scoring and rebounding with 12.3 PPG and 5.9 RPG while Elijah McCadden has 11 PPG and a team-high 2.8 APG this season. Kamari Brown and Cam Bryant each have 9+ PPG and 4+ RPG as well on the year. As a team, Georgia Southern is averaging 71 PPG on 51.3% shooting from the field, 34.7% from three and 68.2% from the foul line while allowing 59.9 PPG on 39.1% shooting from the field and 31.5% from three this season.
The Campbell Camels will look to add to a 74-56 win over subdivision Columbia International last time out. Cedric Henderson Jr. leads Campbell in scoring and rebounding with 13.2 PPG and 6.1 RPG while Jesus Carralero has 11.1 PPG with 4.6 RPG and a team-high 4.4 APG as well this season. Ricky Clemons has 10.7 PPG with 5.9 RPG to cap off the trio of double-digit scorers for the Camels up to this point in the season while Messiah Thompson also has 9.4 PPG as well this season. As a team, Campbell is averaging 68.9 PPG on 47.7% shooting from the field, 29.2% from three and 68% from the foul line while allowing 58 PPG on 39.3% shooting from the field and 31.8% from three this season.
Georgia Southern is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS loss while the under is 6-2 in their last 8 road games. Campbell is 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 games overall and 8-3-1 ATS in their last 12 games following a win while the under is 4-1 in their last 5 home games.
I get the case that could be made for either side here, but I think our best bet is siding with the over in this one. These are two top-40 scoring defenses in the country coming into this one and while Georgia Southern has an efficient shooting offense, it hasn’t resulted in a ton of points in their recent outings. I think this could end up being first to 60 if we’re lucky to even get that high, so give me the under here.
