The Georgia Southern Eagles and the Troy Trojans meet in college basketball action from Trojan Arena on Frdiay night.
The Georgia Southern Eagles will look to build off of a 61-58 win over Coastal Carolina last time out out. Zach Bryant leads Georgia Southern with 13.8 PPG while Eric Boone has 11.2 PPG and a team-high 3.4 APG this season. Elijah McCadden adds 10.2 PPG and 4.9 RPG to make up the trio of double-digit scorers for Eric up to this point in the season. Prince Toyambi also has 6.6 PPG and a team-high 5.6 RPG this season. As a team, Georgia Southern is averaging 73.4 PPG on 45.8% shooting from the field, 30.6% from 3-point range and 64.3% from the foul line while allowing 67.5PPG on 43.1% shooting from the field and 37.3% from 3-point range this season.
The Troy Trojans will try to bounce back and get above .500 after a 90-73 win over subdivision Spring Hill last time out. Kam woods leads the Trojans in scoring with 12.1 PPG while Zay Williams has 11.8 PPG with a team-high 8.4 RPG and Nick Stampley has 11.3 PPG with 7.1 RPG to make up the trio of double-digit scorers for Troy so far this season.

Georgia Southern is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall while the under is 9-4 in their last 13 games following a win. Troy is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games against a team with a winning record while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 home games. The favorite is 8-1 ATS in the last 9 meetings between these two teams.
I get the case you could make for Georgia Southern as they’ve been the better team over the course of the season. However, Troy is tough to crack and I just don’t see any other result in this one which has been the same story for each of the Eagles as of late. Troy just keeps finding ways to cover numbers and I think this is no different as the Trojans find a way to get a win and cover at home.
