Result: Win
The set-up The 6-3 Georgia State Panthers are in Norfolk, Va, to take on the 5-4 Old Dominion Monarchs. The Panthers look to stay hot, having won five of six, while ODU is hoping to snap a mini two-game losing skid.
Georgia State: The Panthers made the Big Dance two years ago and upset Baylor but last year's team won just 16 games. This year's team is starting to come around but there are just two double digit scorers, the 6-8 Holloway (14.2 & 5.7) and guard Simonds (10.2). Georgia State is scoring 78.4 PPG on 47.9% shooting from the floor.
Old Dominion: The Monarchs won the Vegas 16 championship last March and finished with 25 wins. However, gone are leading scorer Freeman (22.1) and guard Bacote (13.1). Returning was the 6-7 Talley but he's been suspended indefinitely for violating team rules. The 6-7 Brandan Stith was the leading returning starter and he's leads in scoring this year, averaging 13.0 PPG and is also the team's leading rebounder at 8.1 RPG. A trio of guards round out the biggest contributors in Caver (11.6), Baker (8.6) and B.J. Stith (7.4). ODU is allowing just 58.7 PPG (7th) but doesn't score, averaging only 59.2 PPG.
The pick: Georgia State has yet to win on the road (0-3), allowing 76.3 PPG in those true road games (albeit, against tougher competition than ODU). However, Old Dominion is a solid home team, going 9-3 ATS over its last 12 home games. Make Old Dominion a 10* play.
