Georgia State vs Kennesaw State Prediction

I’m with Kennesaw State here. The Owls have just looked better in their eye tests in my opinion, compared to a Georgia State team that can’t necessarily do a whole lot offensively, and the one thing they do well, is shoot from the perimeter, the Panthers don’t shoot enough threes for it to really be a factor, and if they did, they’re still against a top-5 3-point defense in Kennesaw State. I just think Kennesaw State has an easier path to success than Georgia State does in this game so give me Kennesaw State here.
