Andrei Savrasov is averaging 12.3 points and 7.3 rebounds, while Jalen Finch is averaging 10.7 points and 4 rebounds. Kaden Archie is dishing 0.7 assists and Tai Strickland is grabbing 3 rebounds. The Georgia Southern Eagles are shooting 21.9 percent from beyond the arc and 68.9 percent from the free throw line. The Georgia Southern Eagles are allowing 29.5 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 33 rebounds per game.


The Rice Owls are averaging 66 points on 42.1 percent shooting and allowing 78.3 points on 50.5 percent shooting. Travis Evee is averaging 16 points and 1.7 rebounds, while Seryee Lewis is averaging 14 points and 4 rebounds. Quincy Qlivari is grabbing 6.3 rebounds and Alem Huseinovic is dishing 1.3 rebounds.

The Eagles are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 road games and 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games overall. The Owls are 16-5-2 ATS in their last 23 home games and 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games overall. The over is 6-1 in Owls last 7 Friday games. The under is 4-1 in Owls last 5 overall.

The Georgia Southern Eagles have loaded up on road games to start the season, but I’m not sure if that’s an excuse for this lousy offense. Georgia Southern just can’t score the basketball, and that’s not an issue that usually solves itself on the road. The Rice Owls aren’t he best team in the world, but they have enough scoring depth to squeeze this one out at home. Give me Rice to get back to a .500 record.
