Coastal Carolina vs Georgia State Betting Prediction
Both of these teams come into this game below .500 in conference play, but they have had some success in recent games. Coastal Carolina has won two games in a row and they have scored 74 and 82 in those two wins, but both of those came at home. Georgia State has won three of their last four games and they have held their opponent to fewer than 70 points in all three of those wins. Coastal Carolina’s defense has been an issue this season, as they are allowing 79.2 points against per game, but they have played better recently. Coastal Carolina did beat Georgia State by a score of 85-83 earlier in the season, and I think they can keep this game close. Take the Chanticleers with the points.
