Coastal Carolina vs Georgia State Prediction
Georgia State comes into this matchup with 10 losses on the season already, but they are 2-2 in conference play and they are looking for their third straight win. The Panthers are only shooting 42.2% from the field, but they did score 82 and 94 points in their last two games. Coastal Carolina has been up and down in recent weeks and they have lost their last two road games by margins of 23 and 30 points. The Chanticleers are the much better defensive team in this matchup, but I can’t trust them away from home. Take Georgia State here.
