Kennesaw State vs. Georgia State

Georgia State’s defense has been lackluster, ranking 312th in points allowed per possession. Kennesaw State, which led the nation in total possessions per game last season, currently ranks 80th in that category after playing in a Canadian event featuring some of the slowest mid-major teams.
Pick: Kennesaw State vs. Georgia State Over 155 (Greg’s Handicapped Total: 161.5)
West Virginia vs. Georgetown

This will be Georgetown’s first true road game of the season, and they’ll face a West Virginia squad that excels at disrupting opponent possessions. West Virginia ranks 5th in blocked shots percentage and 37th in turnovers forced per possession at home.
