What to Know

After a two-game homestand, the Troy Trojans will be on the road. Troy and the Georgia State Panthers will face off in a Sun Belt battle at 7 p.m. ET Thursday at Georgia State Convocation Center. The Trojans will be strutting in after a win while Georgia State will be stumbling in from a loss.

The Arkansas State Red Wolves typically have all the answers at home, but on Saturday Troy proved too difficult a challenge. Troy strolled past Arkansas State with points to spare, taking the matchup 66-54.

Meanwhile, the Panthers came up short against the Louisiana Ragin Cajuns on Saturday, falling 78-70.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Troy is expected to win a tight contest. They are currently three-for-three against the spread in their most recent games, a trend bettors might want to take into account.

The Trojans came out on top in a nail-biter against Georgia State when the two teams previously met in February of last year, sneaking past 67-63. Will Troy repeat their success, or does Georgia State have a better game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
