Big "see where we are as a program" series vs Georgia State.

App State: 10-5 overall, 4-2 in conference, 7-2 at home.
Georgia State: 8-2 overall, 2-1 in conference, 3-2 on the road.

Georgia State has beaten Georgia Tech (4OT), Charlotte, and have gone 2-1 vs Coastal. They've played both series vs Coastal already with 1 game being postponed. Their Troy series was also postponed.

Common opponents: They beat Charlotte 76-65 at Charlotte. We beat them 61-57.

We'll need to watch out for Allen, Roberts, Williams and Nsoseme all averaging over 12 points per game. Georgia State is averaging 86 ppg. App is averaging 73 ppg.

1-1 this weekend should be a great outcome.

Good , not great.I think we can win two , or lose two , but should get a split.

I think the team finds its groove. They've gotten used to not playing with Lewis (I have a feeling we may never know exactly what happened there) and we come out firing. 2-0.

Despite Georgia State leading SB in team scoring offense, App leads in team scoring defense and Free throw %. Ga St last in both.......shud make for fun w/e!

I don't know if we'll even get one of these games from them but I'd love to see us split.

Eliel Nsoseme is gonna be a problem, the former Cincinatti Bearcat is averaging a double double, we are going to need to make rebounding a point of emphasis

Most of their key players are via the Transfer Market: Nsoseme (Cincy), Their leading scorer Corey Allen (Detroit Mercy), Justin Roberts (DePaul), JoJo Toppin (UGA), and Ryan Boyce (Memphis)

I feel like with the increased basketball chatter we've had this year if not for COVID watch parties would be popping up all over NC. His deal had to be for 4-5 years...Keeping Kerns long term has to be one of Doug Gillin's priorities.

How many fans are they allowing in Holmes?

Do you believe I can purchase tickets the day of the game? Thinking of taking my 2 kids this Saturday.

Should still be 1%, so around 85 people. I think they’re only allowing players’ family members and maybe a few others, but not sure who those few others are.

Long stretch between these games but it is nice having basketball back to back nights lol. With the divisions/four matchups tiebreakers are everything. Two wins (and the existing tiebreakers) positions the team well for the #1 seed. A split still works out well enough given the extra set of games.

Georgia State favored by 4 points tonight

We need a split. At least.

So you're tellin' me there's a chance???

Living by the 3. Made 8 in the first half. Almonacy, Forrest and Delph are crushing it right now.

Can someone explain that shot clock violation to me? We absolutely got cheated out of 2 points there.

That was a horseshite call! Refs called the lob a pass and not a shot when it hit the rim. The shot clock reset which should’ve been correct and the bucket should’ve counted.

My question to the refs, had the lob gone in the basket, would they not count the 2 points because it was a “pass”?

They're really testing the ball handling skills of some players with this full court press.
