Georgia Southern vs. Georgia State Key Player to Watch

Spudd Webb, G - Georgia Southern Eagles

To answer the question you're already asking, no, he isn't related to the legendary NBA player, Spud Webb, but that doesn't take away from the season he's been having with Georgia Southern. He leads the team in points per game (16.1), assists per game (2.7), and steals (1.8), while also averaging 4.6 rebounds. Georgia State largely shut him down in the first meeting between these two teams, scoring just 16 points while shooting 25% from the field. He needs to play better than that in the rematch tonight.

Georgia Southern vs. Georgia State Prediction and Pick

In today's edition of Daily Dunk, I wrote about why I'm backing Georgia Southern as a small underdog:

Neither team in this battle of Georgia is good by any stretch of the imagination, but Georgia State is truly one of the worst shooting teams in the country, and they have no business being favored in this spot. The Panthers rank 360th in effective field goal percentage, the sixth-worst mark in college basketball at 44.1%. The Eagles' eFG% is 6% better at 50.1%.

Georgia Southern also ranks 101st in the country in effective possession ratio, which will play a big role in creating extra scoring opportunities.

I think the wrong team is favored in this game. I'll back the Eagles on the moneyline at +100.

Pick: Georgia Southern -105
