Norfolk State needs more from its offense

Norfolk State averages 69.8 points per game while shooting 42 percent from the field and 29 percent from three. Bahsil Laster leads the Spartans with 16.5 points per game, and their 9.8 steals per game offer one way to create chances when shots are not falling.

The Spartans opened with home wins over Regent and Randolph, but their next two games exposed a tougher path. William & Mary scored 104 points against them in a road defeat, and Old Dominion held them to 60 in a home loss. Those results raise questions at both ends: Norfolk State needs to contain an opponent's scoring without letting its own attack stall. Its only completed road game was the loss to William & Mary, so a more competitive showing away from home remains an important test.

Georgia State's scoring faces a consistency test

Georgia State averages 85.8 points and 41.5 rebounds per game, giving it a potential edge in scoring and work on the glass. Jacob Meyer leads the Panthers with 19.8 points and 6.2 assists per game, while Jacolb Fredson-Cole contributes a team-leading 10.2 rebounds per game.

The Panthers' four completed games have produced sharply different offensive outcomes. They scored 111 in a home win over Andrew and 92 in a narrow road loss to Fresno State, but managed 67 in a defeat at Charlotte and 73 in a home loss to Bowling Green. Their Fresno State performance showed they can stay close in a high-scoring game, though conceding 95 points was costly. The home results have also split, making sustained execution more important than simply pointing to the big win over Andrew.
