Corey Allen leads the Panthers in scoring with 14.1 PPG while Justin Roberts has 11.9 PPG and Kane Williams has 12.7 PPG with 4 RPG and a team-high 3.6 APG this season.

The Georgia Southern Eagles will be hoping to rebound in the rematch between these two teams after the loss to Georgia State was the Eagles’ fourth in a row. Elijah McCadden leads Georgia Southern in scoring with 11.8 PPG while Andrei Savrasov has 10.4 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.

Georgia State is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall while the under is 7-0 in their last 7 road games. Georgia Southern is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games and 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games following a loss while the over is 6-2 in their last 8 games as a home underdog.
It may feel weird laying points on the road with Georgia State here, but that’s just how well the Panthers have been playing as of late. It’s been the flipside for Georgia Southern, and although a lot of those games came on the road, including the first meeting a couple of days ago, the reality is that the Eagles have still dropped games left and right and had issues offensively and those issues will hurt them again here. Give me Georgia State laying the points.
