How we might beat Georgia State

There probably is not one chance in ten that we can do it, but if we do, here is how it might be done.

1. Win big time on the boards. They are rebounding better this year than last, but in two of their losses they got hammered in their rebounding deficit. This will be tough to do for an undersized team that has had its own rebounding problems.

2. Win the turnover margin battle. This season this accomplishment might not be as far-fetched as it sounds. Ryan Harrow will play practically the whole game, and his A/TO ratio is an excellent 2.79. But our point guards have done very well with that stat themselves, so if Harrow is off a little, we might do it.

3. Get their Big Two in foul trouble. Harrow has fouled out once this year, but the two of them average less than 3 fouls per game each, so it is not likely. Since both of them are in the game together almost all the time, if either of them is not in the game, obviously it changes their game plan significantly.
