Who's Playing
Belmont @ Georgia State
Current Records: Belmont 3-3; Georgia State 4-2
What to Know
The Belmont Bruins will take on the Georgia State Panthers at 2 p.m. ET Sunday at Georgia State Convocation Center. These two teams seek to continue their momentum from their previous wins.
Belmont has more to be thankful for after their game against the Howard Bison last Monday. The Bruins took their matchup against Howard by a conclusive 96-73 score. Belmont got double-digit scores from four players: guard Ben Sheppard (27), forward Drew Friberg (14), center Even Brauns (13), and guard Ja'Kobi Gillespie (13). Brauns had some trouble finding his footing against the George Mason Patriots last week, so this was a step in the right direction.
Meanwhile, Georgia State didn't have too much breathing room in their contest with the UNC-Asheville Bulldogs last week, but they still walked away with a 74-68 win.
Barring any buzzer beaters, Belmont is expected to win a tight contest. They hadn't treated bettors all too well in the past (they are 2-4), but they might be worth taking a chance on now after beating the spread two games in a row.
The wins brought the Bruins up to 3-3 and the Panthers to 4-2. Belmont is 1-1 after wins this year, Georgia State 1-2.
