George State comes into this game with a losing record, however, the Panthers have been playing well as of late, winning three of their last four games, and I’ve really liked what I’ve seen from the Panthers defensively lately as they have held their last 6 opponents to an average of just 64.7 ppg. Coastal Carolina has been solid on both ends of the court this season and post a 9-4 record at home, however, the Chanticleers have struggled a bit in conference play this season, losing 4 of their last 7 games, and as Georgia State is fully healthy and playing some of their best basketball of the season as of late, I think the play here is to take the Panthers and the point. Good Luck!
