Ball State at Georgia State

Georgia State returns one starter, but coach Jonas Hayes has brought in plenty of talent as the Panthers look to improve on last year's 14-17 mark. Zarique Nutter is a 6-7 forward, who averaged 15.4 points with Northern Illinois and they have a lot of size up front with Nick McMullen and Justin Archer. Ball State is 2-7 ATS its past nine games against Sun Belt opponents and the Cardinals finished last season 3-6 straight up and ATS their last nine games. They are expected to be in the middle of the pack in the Mid-American Conference and the Cardinals lost three of their top four scorers. Ball State does get center Payton Sparks back after he played one season at Indiana. Take Georgia State.
