The Texas A&M Commerce Lions and the Georgia State Panthers meet in college basketball action from the Georgia State Convocation Center on Saturday afternoon.
The Texas A&M Commerce Lions will look to rebound from a 72-64 loss to UNC-Asheville last time out. Demarcus Demonia leads the Lions in scoring with 16 PPG and 4.3 RPG while Kalen Williams also has 13 PPG as the only other double-digit scorer for the Lions so far this season. Jerome Brewer Jr. has a team-high 5 RPG to lead the Lions on the glass while Alonzo Dodd also has 2.7 APG to lead Texas A&M Commerce in the assist department up to this point in the season. As a team, Texas A&M Commerce is averaging 68.5 PPG on 39.9% shooting from the field, 27.1% from three and 62.3% from the foul line this season.
The Georgia State Panthers will hope to bounce back from a 62-61 loss to Eastern Kentucky last time out. Ja’Heim Hudson leads the Panthers in scoring and rebounding, averaging a double-double per game with 17.3 PPG and 10 RPG while Dwon Odom has 15.7 PPG with 5.3 RPG and Evan Johnson has 10.3 PPG with a team-high 3.3 APG to lead the Panthers in assists and to round out the group of double-digit scorers for Georgia State this season. As a team, Georgia State is averaging 69.8 PPG on 41.5% shooting from the field, 26.5% from three and 73.1% from the foul line this season.
Texas A&M Commerce is 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 games overall and 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 road games. Georgia State is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games against a team with a winning percentage below .400 and 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 home games against a team with a road winning percentage below .400 while the under is 14-3 in their last 17 Saturday games.
I get the case to be made for Georgia State here, but while Texas A&M Commerce is the new kid on the block, they’ve done a respectable job covering the number in their first few games. Georgia State’s been in some close calls in the favorite role already this season and I think they could be in for another here. Give me the Lions and the points.
