Ga. Southern comes in at 1-2 with their sole win being over NAIA member school Coastal Georgia by a count of 92-43.
However, one of their losses was a nail biter to NC State, 79-81.
Their leading scorer is 6-4 G Ike Smith, who's pouring in over 20 PPG.
Ike is followed in scoring by 5-11 G Tookie Brown (who plays almost the entire game) and.... wait for it...
B.J. Gladden, yes, former Zip BJ Gladden, coming in at 11.7 PPG.
No other Georgia Southern player comes close to averaging double digits.
BJ will be geared up for this game, but I'm going with a Zips win. If BJ Gladden is your 3rd-leading scorer, the Zips should be able to shut down the offensively-challenged Georgia Southern Eagles.
P.s. For those who haven't seen BJ play, he's a cool dude. Just wanted more PT than would have been available for him at UA. BJ's got an NBA physique but the game always seemed to move just a little too quickly for him at this level.
