PICK #2 - Georgia Southern +3.5 (Fanduel -115)
Sunbelt Round 2 - Game One (1) - Neutral Court at the Pensacola Bay Center in Pensacola, Florida
In a clash of Sunbelt Conference teams, the South Alabama Jaguars are set to take on the Georgia Southern Eagles in what promises to be a ho-hum matchup on the hardwood in Game One of the 2nd Round Sunbelt Conference tournament. Neither team has had a respectable season and both should be very eager for the offseason to begin. Their postseason aspirations are basically nil if one does not win the entire Sunbelt tournament.
Team Analysis:
South Alabama Jaguars: The Jaguars enter the contest with the better record, bolstered by a well-rounded squad capable of delivering both offensive fireworks and defensive resilience. Led by their dynamic backcourt duo, the Jaguars boast a potent scoring threat that can dismantle defenses with their precision shooting and crafty ball-handling. However, their success isn't limited to the perimeter, as their frontcourt presence provides crucial rebounding and interior scoring, making them a force to be reckoned with on both ends of the floor.
Georgia Southern Eagles: On the opposing side, the Georgia Southern Eagles are better than their meager record would indicate. The Eagles excel in disrupting opponents' rhythm while capitalizing on scoring opportunities in transition. With a balanced offensive approach and a commitment to stifling defense, the Eagles have proven themselves as a hard out especially this time of year. They are eagerly looking forward to being the wrench in many upcoming opponents.
Key Matchups:
Guard Battle: The matchup between the Jaguars' sharpshooting guards and the Eagles' defensive stalwarts will likely dictate the flow of the game. Can the Jaguars penetrate the Eagles' defensive wall and find open looks from beyond the arc? Or will the Eagles' tenacious perimeter defense suffocate their opponents and force them into contested shots?
Frontcourt Showdown: In the paint, expect a fierce battle for rebounds and second-chance points. The Jaguars' frontcourt must contend with the Eagles' physicality and shot-blocking prowess, while also finding ways to exploit mismatches in the post. Whichever team asserts dominance in the paint could hold the key to victory.
I'm predicting a close and not all that unexpected victory by the lowly Eagles of Georgia Southern.
Final Score Prediction: Georgia Southern Eagles 72 - South Alabama Jaguars 70.
BOL to all that follow...and not so BOL to all those that fade....
I LOVE THE MONTH OF MARCH - SO LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!!!
