Troy Trojans at Georgia Southern Eagles Prediction

Both teams notched a win on their home court in the two contests this season, but Troy took the money and that’s what I think will happen tonight. The Trojans have won seven of their last nine Sun Belt games and while they did drop their last two on the road they did go 4-5 in conference road games and went an impressive 4-0 in neutral court games. Troy beats Georgia Southern in scoring, defending, assist/turnover ratio and on the boards. You either play the square pick or pass on this game.
