Austin Peay vs Georgia State Prediction

I’m probably leaning towards Georgia State, but you can probably call it either way. In their most recent win over North Carolina Central, the Panthers shot an incredible 70.2 percent with 32 rebounds and 15 team assists. The 15 ball losses were the only real flaw. Georgia State has scored 71 or more points in all three wins and 67 or fewer in its two losses.

As for Austin Peay, in their last loss to Morehead State they were averaging 40 percent from the field and trailed by a 35-30 rebounding deficit. The Governors have been under 69 points in four of five games so far. If Georgia State can keep the tempo up and hit some shots consistently, I don’t think Austin Peay can keep up.
