In their previous meeting on January 23, 2025, Marshall secured a 92-79 victory over Georgia State. The Thundering Herd showcased a dominant second-half performance, overcoming a one-point halftime deficit. Guard Jalen Speer led Marshall with 25 points, including five three-pointers, while forward Obinna Anochili-Killen contributed a double-double with 23 points and 10 rebounds. 

Georgia State's offense was led by forward Cesare Edwards, who scored 21 points and grabbed nine rebounds in the previous matchup. Guard Toneari Lane added 18 points. Despite their efforts, the Panthers were unable to maintain their first-half lead. Georgia State will try to create a different result this time around. A potential game changer for the Panthers is Nick McMullen. McMullen has quietly averaged a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds per night. If Georgia State can get him going, it will really open things up for their guards on the wings.

Georgia State has the tools to give Marshall a run in this matchup. Unfortunately, Marshall is just a step ahead of a struggling Georgia State squad. We will be backing the Marshall Thundering Herd to get things done on their home floor. Take Marshall to win this one by a score of 89 -75.
