Texas State and the Eagles are an even 5-5 against one another since December of 2015, but not for long. Both teams will face off in a Sun Belt battle at 8:00 p.m. ET on Thursday at Hanner Fieldhouse. Texas State is no doubt hoping to put an end to a four-game streak of away losses.

Last Saturday, the Bobcats were within striking distance but couldn't close the gap as they fell 78-74 to the Golden Eagles.

Meanwhile, Georgia Southern's recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Saturday after their sixth straight loss. They took a 87-80 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Dukes. That's two games in a row now that Georgia Southern has lost by exactly seven points.

The Bobcats' loss dropped their record down to 11-16. As for the Eagles, they have not been sharp recently as the team's lost seven of their last eight matches, which put a noticeable dent in their 5-22 record this season.

Texas State is hoping to beat the odds on Thursday, as the experts think they're headed for a loss. Bettors picking them against the spread have some confidence (to put it mildly), as the team is sitting on a four-game streak of failing to cover when playing as the underdogs on the road.

Texas State came out on top in a nail-biter against the Eagles when the teams last played back in January of 2023, sneaking past 70-67. The rematch might be a little tougher for Texas State since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
