Georgia State Needs Faster Start
Georgia State in the last game faced off against Appalachian State and they got out to a slow start and that led to the defeat. At halftime, they were down 38-32 and even though they scored 44 points in the second half it wasn’t enough as they ended up losing by four points. Cesare Edwards did have a strong game putting up 24 points, six rebounds, and three assists. There were four different players that put up at least 10 points, but the defense just really let them down. Two games ago against Marshall, they put up 51 points in the first half and ended up holding on for the victory.
Overall this season, Georgia State sits with an 8-15 record overall, and they have gone 11-11 against the spread. Georgia State is averaging 73.5 points while their defense is giving up 80.2 points per game. The offense is ranked 208th while the defense is ranked 348th. They are averaging 34.87 points per game in the first half, and they are going to need to raise that number here if they want to find success.
Can Louisiana-Monroe Bounce Back?
Louisiana-Monroe faced off against Troy in the last game and it was an ugly game. Louisiana-Monroe scored only 50 points, while the defense gave up 87 points, and that led to the defeat. In the first half, they scored only 15 points and that type of offensive output isn’t even close to good enough to get the job done. The only real bright spot for the offense was Makai Willis who put up 15 points and three rebounds. This team isn’t exactly known for their offense, but that output was a bit shocking.
The Warhawks sit with a 6-18 record overall and they have gone 9-14 against the spread. Louisiana-Monoe is averaging 68.8 points while their defense is giving up 72.8 points per game. The offense is ranked 303rd in the league while the defense is ranked 226th in the league. This team does do a good job of creating turnovers and they are averaging 7.79 steals per game. Jalen Bolden is averaging 12.2 points while shooting 37.3 percent from the field and 27.3 percent from behind the three-point line.

Louisiana-Monroe vs Georgia State Prediction
This game is going to come down to the Georgia State defense against a Louisiana-Monroe offense. Louisiana-Monroe is averaging 68.8 points per game, but they are facing off against Georgia State who is giving up 80.2 points per game. Georgia State’s offense will be fine, but it’s going to be their lack of defense that is going to allow Louisiana-Monroe to get the job done. Back Louisana-Monroe against the spread.
