GA St vs Marshall

Expect fierce court action with serious postseason undertones

Georgia State

Panthers (8-10-13-18) VS Thundering Herd (12-6-19-12)

Mar 07, 2025 | 6:00 PM ET | Cam Henderson Center

Marshall
Moneyline Pick: Marshall (-260) - B

Marshall embarks on this home showdown riding a four-game winning streak, while Georgia State arrives with two straight losses weighing them down. The Thundering Herd’s starting center has reportedly been nursing a sore ankle, but their seasoned guards are poised to capitalize on defensive mismatches against a Panthers backcourt that has struggled to contain perimeter threats. Georgia State’s standout forward has shown flashes of brilliance in past meetings, though his impact may be limited if Marshall’s sharpshooters catch fire early. With both squads already past the 41-game mark, the postseason buzz adds extra edge to every possession. Our moneyline prediction points to Marshall coming away with the win due to their current momentum, relatively minor injury concerns, and the proven track record of their key contributors against Georgia State, earning this pick a solid B for confidence and potential return.

Over/Under Pick: Over 154, (-110) - B+
Marshall’s high-scoring backcourt looks formidable as they ride a three-game winning streak into this tilt with Georgia State, who have dropped their last two. The Panthers may be without their starting guard due to a lingering ankle issue, while the Thundering Herd’s forward is expected to return from a hamstring tweak. Marshall’s veteran point guard has repeatedly shredded the Panthers’ defense in past meetings, and Georgia State’s athletic big man has a history of punishing Marshall on the offensive boards. Despite inconsistent records (8-10-13-18 vs. 12-6-19-12), both rosters appear primed to find the basket frequently, making an Over wager a promising play with decent returns. This bet earns a B+ rating for its relatively strong likelihood of cashing in.
Spread Pick: Georgia State, +5.5 (-110) - B+

Georgia State’s sophomore forward, who remains on the active roster as confirmed earlier this week, will be aiming to turn around the Panthers’ current two-game skid against a Marshall squad riding a brief winning streak despite their veteran guard nursing a sore ankle. Across recent conference matchups, Georgia State has shown resilience against higher-ranked opponents, especially away from home, and the Herd’s historical dominance at Cam Henderson Center has wavered when tested by disruptive defenses. With the line favoring the home team by 5.5 points, the underdog Panthers at -110 look appealing in a matchup where defensive adjustments and a battered rotation could tip the scales just enough to cover. This wager gets a B+ rating, suggesting solid confidence and a rewarding payout well worth the calculated risk if it cashes in.
