NORFOLK ST SPARTANS @ GEORGIA ST PANTHERS

Georgia State’s offense has shown late-game resilience

Georgia State erased a second-half deficit to force overtime against Fresno State, with Jacob Meyer scoring 33 and Jaden Jackson adding 21 in a loss.

Georgia State’s frontcourt could create extra chances

Mason Nicholson and Jacolb Fredson-Cole each posted a double-double against Fresno State, and Georgia State grabbed 14 offensive rebounds; second-chance production could matter against Norfolk State after it was outrebounded 33–18 by Old Dominion.

Norfolk State’s recent comeback featured a freshman scorer

Jordan Skyers led Norfolk State with 19 points in its loss to Old Dominion, while Bahsil Laster scored 17 as the Spartans cut a 20-point second-half deficit to six.

Turnovers and perimeter shooting are Norfolk State concerns

Norfolk State committed 17 turnovers and shot 25% from three against Old Dominion, so cleaner possessions and better perimeter accuracy will be important.

Pick Ideas

Angles drawn from the matchup analysis above and refreshed as the news changes. They are a separate read from the LineCrush pick for this matchup, so the two can land on different sides.

Georgia State moneyline, price dependent

A cautious lean toward the home team is reasonable, but avoid paying a steep price.

Norfolk State spread only with a generous cushion

If the market offers Norfolk State at +7 or better, consider the points; a shorter number is less appealing.

Wait on the total rather than forcing an over

Wait for a posted total rather than forcing an over; Georgia State’s 95–92 final alone is weak evidence for an over.
