Grant Golden leads the Spiders in scoring and rebounding with 21.5 PPG and 6.5 RPG while Jacob Gilyard has 15 PPG with 4.5 RPG and a team-high 6 APG and Tyler Burton has 6.5 RPG with 13.5 PPG to make up the group of double-digit scorers for the Spiders through their first two games of the season.

Georgia State is 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games overall and 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 games as an underdog while the over is 6-1 in their last 7 games following a win. Richmond is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as a favorite and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a double-digit loss at home while the under is 4-0 in their last 4 Tuesday games.
This is shaping up to be a fantastic game despite maybe not getting the attention it deserves. With that said, I think this game is shaping up to be a track meet with so much talent within the two rosters, but I also think it ends up being a game that comes down to the wire. I love Richmond and they’re going to make us a lot of money this season, but so will Georgia State and leaving this many points on the table feels wrong. Give me the Panthers and the points here.
