Georgia Southern pregame

Since they played us last on 31 Jan, they have won two and lost one - all at home. The loss was in overtime. They have pushed their way to the top of the Belt standings, but in all candor, they have had five straight home games. (How did that happen?) They will finish with 3 of 4 on the road.

They started a small line-up last time out: 6-8, 6-5, 6-4. Jelani Hewitt is their gunner, shooting 37% from the arc and averaging 18.8 ppg. Trent Weideman is their 6-8 big guy, who averages 12.1 ppg and 6.0 rpg.

Their defense is really outstanding: opponents average 38.7% overall and 29.8% from the arc. Even with their small lineup they are +3 on the boards.

GaSouthern has been surprisingly good this season. Hats off to them.

Sagarin has Georgia Southern by 5 points. RealtimeRPI has them by one.
