The point spread may have favored Georgia State last Saturday, but the final result did not. They fell 68-59 to the Bobcats. Georgia State has not had much luck with the Bobcats recently, as the team's come up short the last two times they've met.

Some high-performance offense is likely on the agenda as the two teams are some of the highest scoring teams in the league.
