What to Know

The Georgia Southern Eagles haven't won a matchup against the Arkansas State Red Wolves since March 2 of 2019, but they'll be looking to end the drought Saturday. Georgia Southern and Arkansas State will face off in a Sun Belt battle at 3 p.m. ET at W.S. Hanner Fieldhouse. The Eagles should still be riding high after a win, while the Red Wolves will be looking to right the ship.

The James Madison Dukes typically have all the answers at home, but on Thursday Georgia Southern proved too difficult a challenge. Georgia Southern came out on top in a nail-biter against James Madison, sneaking past 76-73.

Speaking of close games: Arkansas State was close but no cigar on Thursday as they fell 66-62 to the Texas State-San Marcos Bobcats. The loss was just more heartbreak for Arkansas State, who fell 61-58 when the teams previously met in January.

Georgia Southern is the favorite in this one, with an expected 6.5-point margin of victory. But bettors beware: they are only 2-5 against the spread when favored.

Georgia Southern ended up a good deal behind Arkansas State when they played when the two teams previously met in January of last year, losing 74-56. Maybe the Eagles will have more luck at home instead of on the road? Watch the game and check back on CBS Sports for all the details.
