What to Know

The Coastal Carolina Chanticleers and the Georgia State Panthers are even-steven against one another since January of 2017 (5-5), but not for long. The Chanticleers and Georgia State will face off in a Sun Belt battle at 7 p.m. ET Thursday at HTC Center. Georgia State should still be riding high after a victory, while Coastal Carolina will be looking to get back in the win column.

Coastal Carolina was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Saturday as they fell 69-64 to the Texas State-San Marcos Bobcats.

Meanwhile, the South Alabama Jaguars typically have all the answers at home, but on Saturday Georgia State proved too difficult a challenge. The Panthers beat the Jaguars 69-62.

Barring any buzzer beaters, the Chanticleers are expected to win a tight contest. But bettors beware: they are only 2-4 against the spread when favored.

Coastal Carolina is now 12-10 while Georgia State sits at 9-10. A couple numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Coastal Carolina have been holding their opponents to a field goal percentage of 38.10%, which places them eighth in college basketball. Less enviably, the Panthers have only been able to knock down 40.40% percent of their shots, which is the 19th lowest field goal percentage in college basketball.
