Georgia Southern vs Florida State Prediction
I’ll take a stab on Georgia Southern. The Eagles were able to hang around with a pretty good Georgia Tech team well this week at McCamish Pavilion, only losing by a couple of points. Georgia Southern has a lot to clean up from that game, including 34.3 percent shooting, 8-of-15 (53.3 percent) from the line, a 42-33 rebounding deficit and 14 turnovers. If any one of those areas had been slightly better, we’d be talking about a tight road win for the Eagles. As it stands now, Georgia Southern has another difficult road matchup in store Friday. Florida State didn’t have too many issues with TN-Martin—outside of a 38-30 rebounding disadvantage and 13-of-23 for 56.5 percent on the boards. They’ll be a tricky opponent for the Eagles, but I think Georgia Southern can hang around.
