Georgia Southern is capable of finishing their season on a high note tonight, going for third win in a row. I picked GS in the first trendbreaker win last week, seeing their offensive production impressively on the rise and losses tightening.
They have been able to produce wins now, @ Samford and hosting Elon.
Can they beat UNC-Greensboro tonight ? Yes. Odds on that range from +185-+210. Spread is +5.5. I am including GS ML,ATS, and in a teaser combo.

GAME NOTES: The regular season in the Southern Conference will come to an end for two schools, as the UNC Greensboro Spartans host the Georgia Southern Eagles this evening at Greensboro Coliseum.
The last time the Eagles were on the floor the team grabbed a 98-88 victory over Elon. It was the third win in the last four games for Georgia Southern, which is a meager 6-11 in conference action.
The Spartans fell to 5-12 in Southern Conference play with a 60-56 setback to Davidson in their last contest. It was the sixth loss in the last seven games for UNCG, which is a miserable 3-11 at home this year.
The Spartans took a 9-8 lead in the all-time series against Georgia Southern earlier this season with an 84-76 victory over the Eagles.
The Eagles exploded in their last matchup, as they scored 98 points in a win over Elon. Georgia Southern shot a sizzling 55.6 percent from the floor and also connected on 13-of-25 attempts from behind the arc. Antonio Hanson, who connected on 9-of-15 attempts from long range, poured in 39 points for Georgia Southern, while Ben Drayton tallied 18 points. Willie Powers added a double- double of 14 points and 10 assists in the contest. Powers has been the best player on the floor for Georgia Southern, netting 14.8 ppg, to go along with a team-best 162 assists. Hanson is contributing 13.3 ppg for the Eagles, who soar into this matchup averaging 70.6 ppg, behind a 43.2 percent shooting effort.
The Spartans were ice cold in their last matchup, as they scored just 56 points in a loss to Davidson. UNC Greensboro shot just 39.6 percent from the floor and finished 5-of-15 from long range. Kendall Toney led the way with 16 points in the loss, while Kyle Randall and Brian Cole tallied 15 and 14 points, respectively. Ben Stywall has been the only consistent threat on the court for UNC Greensboro, as the big man is pacing the team with 14.0 ppg and a team-best 10.3 rpg. No one else is producing double figures on the year, but Randall is netting 9.4 ppg, to go along with 2.5 apg. As a whole, the Spartans come into this contest netting a woeful 63.3 ppg, behind an equally poor 38.3 percent shooting effort.
The Spartans have struggled at home and offensively, so look for the Eagles to continue to play solid basketball and soar to another league win.

[No coincidences]

I'm trying to figure out why they're even getting the 5.5 in the first place.

[eatdust11]

The over looks like the value to me.

[Snowball]

i would take the over if the line was under 143.. at 147.5 here it's dependent
on both teams to get well into the 70's.
rather just go GS.

[jspectyper]

I enjoy your little writeups snowball, it seems your spot on more times then not. Like your "Yale to the mooon" lol. Keep it up bud.

[Bigcheez]

I think the +5.5 is good here. Looking to start the night out with a win.

[stealthyburrito]

I had an oppurtunity to see GS play on the road @ Furman, and they really stunk it up (25% from the field, 1-15 behind the arc). But their offensive woes look to be in the past (especially from 3pt land) and the hung tough with wofford and beat furman SU in the rematch. nice little run for them, ridin the hot streak into the offseason for them

[bluefish]

good luck

[BDS8885]

yes

[THE PROFIT]

This game jumped out at me. They've played twice last year home team losing both as they split out. Just seems GS heading up & the opposite for UNCG. I feel the points is a great play & ML worth a small wager for shits & giggles

I enjoy your little writeups snowball, it seems your spot on more times then not. Like your "Yale to the mooon" lol. Keep it up bud.

this Friday night hosting Columbia "may" be the third and final "Yale to the Moooon" play of 2010.
good day.

[pokernut9999]

Like the over here.

[jspectyper]

Over looking good but GS down by 8 at half. Lets get a comeback goin!

[suckerforparlays]

I took the over and bought points for Georgia Southern at +7.5

[mlb]

any thoughts on 80 for over/under ?

[mlb]

I see 80 I like to go under .. this doesnt mean much but 82 in the first half ... maybe will tighten up?

[THE PROFIT]

What's the NCA&T game doing? The odds page & contests page have it as not started yet???

I see now it's not until 9:00

[THE PROFIT]

GaSo down 43-61 with 11 min left. Like burning money with these bastards

[jspectyper]

They were down 20 now 12, making a comeback! COME ON GSU!

[stealthyburrito]

holy shit down only five now, thank goodness for uncg inept FT shooting

[jspectyper]

Anyone else watching this?! GS down big the whole game and now down by 3 with 13.6

[jspectyper]

Phew good call sb

[Snowball]

Incredible comeback by GS from down 18 to just down 2 with less than a min.
Game just ended. Final 81-79.
Georgia Southern the better team.. UNCG thugs fouled the crap out of them, it was only GS's lack of FT % shooting during the meat of the game that lost the game for them.
I sure was worried down in the teens though.
GS is a team to remember
we take the cover.

[THE PROFIT]

I had been touting that pick since yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!

It was my play of the day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
